A rather typical "bidding and collecting game" by Michael Schacht, the example also "Hansa", "gold", "Coloretto", "Shanghaien" and did "Lucky Sock Dip". Who knows one of these games and likes, which can be at the revamped with a TV license "TBBT - The ingenious game" will find very good; who - like me - has, for example, "Shanghaien", but also the other titles just not perceived rather than average to good, but as a genial, which is probably the same thing about "The ingenious game" (I call it now times "TBBT" ) say. Michael Schacht supplies in my eyes always technically good, not overly innovative games from which sometimes seem to me as if they wanted someone forcedly do something "innovative", although his real talent is just more likely to develop simple games that are easy to learn are. This leads often (even when TBBT) to the paradoxical situation that in itself simple and rock solid game through the "imaginary" or "planned" rules can not convince 100%, but can be played very well and with a lot of fun at modification of the rules , But to the game itself: In TBBT it comes to desire objects to collect (in the form of maps), by offering it to other cards. Simpler is not about actually. Complemented the bidding mechanism is the fact that it "paradox" cards are in TBBT which strongly influence the bidding mechanism and eg can ensure that is reversed counted, except for certain values or increased eg etc. pp. - All this is still quite simple, but provides a lot of momentum, making TBBT an entertaining, hence "good" game; but not more. Really not skin me also the TV license from the stool, although they could certainly still somehow "spice up" by cutout pictures, quotes, and like the game, if you're hardcore fan. Overall, however TBBT is summarized as entertaining game with simple rules that are easy to learn, can be modified super (just in terms of paradox cards) and not be bored even after several rounds. BUT it tears me neither the concept nor the material or the overall impression perfectly off the stool. Ergo I get to 4 stars.
