Who while viewing the game's afraid Knätsel is particularly suitable for artistic and artisan gifted player I can reassure. The kneaded objects do not necessarily have to look like in real life, it may even be very helpful if they do not, because the longer the opponents need to come up with the solution, the more points the creator. Of course, the opponent should not be completely done on the ice by the player kneads a car, but that is actually a cat, because that would be unfair and would ultimately reflect negatively on himself as a player. But creativity and puzzle skills are important at Knätsel than craftsmanship. Therefore, I assume that players will also have fun at Knätsel, who claim not to be able or poorly knead.
So we now know that every player kneads figures, but what does he do with them? He defines it first of all for himself clearly because if they are on the board, ask the opponent questions about Knätseln, because who has most of the solutions found the fastest, wins the game.
To find the seldom obvious solution, the opponent may ask questions that are answered by the Creator with Yes, No or "ambiguous". Naturally, questions arise about the nature, way of life or use, but it's caution. After all, the players put their questions in turn and who is on the right track, do not want to lend a helping his opponents yes. Knätsel requested by the counterparty including tactical and linguistic skill.
Anyone is sure to know the correct solution, may at any time call solution in the round, throwing one of his stones in the rate solution storm in the middle. Has he solved correctly, then it may advance a certain number of fields, wrong solution, he must put his pawn back. To give extra spice to the game, the position on the board will decide on the number of walking at a right / wrong solution fields. The leading player may only few fields before, but has many fields are dwindling and can well before lying back, but does not have far back can risk accordingly so more.
As entertaining as the game sounds, so much fun it actually. Ensure
First, the quality, colorful material that can justify the slightly higher price of the game,
Second, the mix of puzzles, kneading, strategy and risk, the date each test players (limitation see above) was fun
and thirdly, the actually simple gameplay, which is explained and learned quickly, but was excellently implemented. The basic idea of Knätsel is not new, there are some games where the player must solve puzzles, which represents one of them, but the implementation is very well done.
I recommend Knätsel like for young playgroups, adult fun on Knobel- and craft tasks and families who are in search of common good to be handled games.
