Duration Pass with waste paper?

We have the game a few days ago ordered because we were looking for a game where the luck is in second place, tactics and interaction between the players is, however, very important. Amazon provided the product as usual in record time and still on the delivery day we had the opportunity during the planned game night with friends to test the game.

So we arrived and I read my guide on the terrace by while prepared in the kitchen eating. This is quite simple written and just as easy to understand. When it came to the games I explained the rules, which was done quite quickly - and then it could go about it.

The interaction (especially with the Map ballroom * g *) is the most fun here. With a little knowledge of human nature and especially tactical approach can be really nice here disturb players, but have to take yourself in eight, and not too obviously pursue a particular strategy.

There were four and it was really really fun.
Here the rule is: The more, the better.
With less than 4 people I would not want to play it.

------------------------

Packing:

The metal box is high quality, stable and attractive to look at. The cards themselves (base game and expansion) are not separately wrapped in foil, just like the gold and the crown.

Although the package is slightly oversized for the small content, but can be stored without any problems in a backpack or a slightly larger bag.

------------------------

Flow of play:

Each player in turn a character card from the stack and is dealt face down to its neighbors continues. This has the consequence that, although we know which characters are gone, but you can not say 100% Who wrote this and if she has someone as well as 2 characters hides are removed from the game (3 are taken out openly, depending on Number of players).

Even here it is exciting to estimate its neighbors and the other players and to reflect on what character you could have probably.

Then the king (one of the player who is redetermined in each train by one of the cards) exclaims the characters and they begin their moves, which are quite simply knitted:

- Income
- Skills (?)
- Construction
- Skills (?)
- End

Here you can let expose by certain character skills a player (Assassination), him steal his train and his ability to use (witch), him his gold Steal (Thief), a building of the enemy destroy (mercenaries) or even its own worthless building against a very strong opponent of the swap (Diplomat). Of course characters that protect against just such attacks.

The game is over when one of the players was able to expand his city on 8 buildings. Then the building values ​​are added together and who has the most points wins has - but be careful, some buildings give extra points for example hole cards, gold coins or other buildings. Even in the last train, confident of victory ended in the 1 player game, players can still 3 turn things around by such a card.

------------------------

Pro:

+ Strategy
+ No luck factor
+ Interaction
+ Continuous pass through the "revenge" -Geschreie after a game;)

Contraindications:

There actually mention just one point of leads even that the game instead of the deserved 5 stars only 3 receives ..

- Game Material

The cards are made of an extremely strange, ribbed material which is so unstable, not only that many cards already broken arrived here but also mixing extremely difficult and is not suitable for children and careless, a little gross motor assessed adults.

If you want to permanently have fun with this game and plays not only 1-2 times a year, which was to buy a laminating machine.

When you consider that the manufacturer Hans im Glück, brings Card Game Pops as Dominion in 1A quality on the market, so for me it is not evident that the quality of the cards a cheap Sheepshead game is a lot higher than that of a brand game.

------------------------

Finally:

I would not buy me the game for that price, not because Amazon would be overpriced here or the game would not be worth the money per se, but because I want to pay any money for cheap Pappkärtchen with colorful pictures.

Here I could have done without in exchange for reasonable tickets to the 1A metal.

Too bad, so fast you can lose 2 stars = (
