A still more fun classic

For the past 10 years it is tradition to a board game before Christmas zuzulegen. A visit to the pub made the consideration this year easily. There Hour was initiated a round and recognized that one has this game banned completely unjustly from his memory to later. We> Hotel
Modern look, slightly different presentation, but still the same fun factor!

First of packaging and equipment. For me, a passionate and Auspacker- Aufbauerin :) a dream. All houses must be put together and make quite a bit here on the board. They, too, make a right solid impression. Most of the parts are so hidden that the roof and base hold firmly to the Pappkonstruktion. A few fall apart sometimes, but this is not much bad.
Small gripe, but really only a small: A plug-in system money in a box, as in Monopoli, would have been not bad, but Well you can not have everything.

Game History: Essentially it comes to drive his teammates to ruin :) You buy land and hopes to be able to cultivate it before another one can abluchsen for a song. When Till is the trick that one has to rely on a special cube, which makes it on luck, whether you can build the desired hotel or not and if you have permissions set up for normal being set price, to double or to the detriment of the other players, for free. Thus, you have to in its financial planning always miteinplanen possibly the worst case double costs. Missing players namely money for construction, so a complete hotel together with land to be released for auction to settle the debt. So you can not about individual hotels sell, but is directly his complete construction going on.
Furthermore, it is necessary to build so-called hotel entrances. By placement on one of the playing fields in front of the hotel, the owner can earn from their opponents money for a hotel stay as soon as they enter the field. The dice determines how many nights will stay at the hotel :) The hotel entrances, however, can not always be built as desired, but only if you enter certain fields. So may be the loser also the best-positioned hotel owner afterwards, when he has big hotel buildings, but hardly inputs and therefore never opponent as a visitor.

All in all I give the game 5 points, because it's very exciting and with any strategy, by the right amount of luck can be won. Next captivates the game by its appearance and the many details. It makes with 3-4 persons, but also just with 2 people having fun, which is also an important point of criticism for us, is in my opinion necessarily into play shelf.
