Notre Dame is from about 300 board games (mostly strategy games) that I know the best 3. Clear the favorites change from time to time slightly. Nevertheless, and remains one of the ND best games ever for me.
Rarely has managed to combine such elegant a more challenging game to enjoy the game with the challenge to the tactical skill of the player. In addition, the ever-prevailing lack of money, building blocks and health care is exemplary integrated into the game.
We mostly played it to 3rd and 5th. Often also to 2. The game will always work.
It's just fun to deal with for a long time with the game. Constantly you have the desire to make it next time better and achieve more Puntke. Of course, you have an advantage if you know all about captivating people. This but you can also always check during the game in the addendum.
It is led by the game to too much attention to money, blocks and rat infestation. Therefore, neglecting which bring more victory points the fields and moves. Here va is called the Park and the residence. Decide is that the maximum you rausholt in recent 3 rounds at the "C-persons". Here are often times 9-12 victory points with a bribery there.
And of course it must not happen that a player at the end of one-third skims the points alone in the cathedral.
Certainly Stefansfeld and Stefan Brück has something in mind to double the inn only 4 stones in the action. It leads just to the fact that the inn is the absolute "Notfeld". There you going if you have previously planned and poorly penetrate stone, money or rat protection required. If possible, max. 1x happen in the game.
Supremely I think the impact of the plague. Actually, you lose "only" 2 victory points and 1 stone. However, one gets the plague again because of Peststein remains at the 9. This is immense pressure on the players exercised finally get into the pots and to take care of the health care in his district. Gorgeous!
Also, one should before the corruption starts always 2 gold. 1 for bribery and 1 case is the Notre Dame here in the next 3 cards. Says everything easier than it is to play.
what can I say? I love this game. So much fun to make, unfortunately only very few pearls among the strategy games. Here is the author of an absolute hammer game successful.
