Great, interesting, interactive trading game for two players.

Video at Amazon.com May be for this game I once again created a video in which I at least roughly representing the gameplay in 10 minutes. So if you want to get even a glimpse of the components and the gameplay looks best just the video.

Asante is the successor or you extension to the known two Personenhit "Jambo". An interactive trading game for two players that takes approximately 45 minutes. The nice thing about Jambo is that it's not quite as abstract as many other two games, it has a very nice graphics, a good level of interaction and of the rules ago very simple, yet very interesting and varied. The many action cards, it is different again and remains permanently interesting. I have heard from many people who like to play, above all, of the couple, heard that they have played several dozen or even hundreds of games Jambo. As Asante's the same game, in principle, should not be any different with Asante.

Speaking of the same game. I Jambo played only once several years ago, so I can not 100% say in how the games really far in detail the same, who knows Jambo but should be smarter after looking into the video. But what I do know is that you can use the cards of a game in the other. Say Jambo who already can buy Asante, as the action cards compatible, but are completely different. No card can be found in Asante, do I find in so Jambo and andersum. Conversely, of course, the same thing: Those who like Asante and want to have a little more variety, can be organized even a Jambo.

The game objective of Jambo is very simple and unequivocal. At the end of the game have the most money. Once a player 60 or more money has accumulated, the other player still has a train. He manages to collect as much money or even more, this wins. Each player has goods he can act a market stall on the. With goods cards can be either low or even buy sell ideally very expensive goods. The maximum here are 15 cash for a sale, each player starts with 20 money. Since you often also first have to invest in order rauszubekommen something can be assumed, in principle, of which you need 3-4 more sales until the game is over.
The really interesting thing about the game is the action cards, they bring the necessary spice to the game. Because there are people that bring a self irgenwelche benefits animal, the one most can somehow interact with the players and items that one plays out and then permanently can use every round again, and you also get as has to be careful of the other players can a Remove these items by animal cards again. The various actions are very diverse, as are the items some it appears only once in the game.
Often require certain actions that you assess his players properly, can bluff well, or simply take a decision which does not bring great benefit to the players.
Attempts lap after lap to combine its actions so that you sell right valuable cards. It is always advisable to have a lot of cards in his hand. This increases the selection, however, one must normally follow only one card per round, so you're trying to plan and coordinate its actions so that you can always possible has a high supply of cards.
It is also important that you do not too early to initiate the end of the game. If the players a bulging market stall is a chance that he again can really make good money in his train very quiet, so you should take the end of the game so that you can correctly makes in his train much money, so that the opponent simply has no chance the still catch up. But you never know what the other players yet so can do anything, so the game will be exciting and entertaining for the most part until the end.

Since it is a pure two-person game, it's a game that is particularly suitable for couples who like to play interesting games. It is very fast there in the game and it can start playing again, without spending hours to draw up the rules laboriously again after some time simply. The playing time is so pleasant that you firstly if you want to make a games evening for two, well two or three games to play consecutively, but also play a game if you have not as much time or desire is already very satisfying and fulfilling.
The game is not overly complex, but still interesting. It is constantly developing plans and consider how to use its cards most effectively. Of course, it also has elements of luck. Often you simply hopes finally retighten the matching card and also to interact with the players always brings little venture into play. But because it is interesting and does not affect static or even abstract. The graphics are once again implemented absolutely outstanding and consistent, kudos to the graphic designer.
If you like games like trade, who can relatively interactive games for two and who just a good game for two people looking, it stays that long-term interest, which is to consult with Asante in my opinion very good. Great game!
