Like good wine: With every sip (game) is always better!

I take care of my game reviews only after a long time, to be issued after a long abstinence and play numerous games. And even if I have the impression the previous Amazon Berwertungen to can add an interesting detail or even a radically different view.

With a little distance and many exciting games is "Notre Dame" in my pers. "Games Olymp" ascended. It not only offers fun in each player constellation (innovative: the variable Schedule depending on number of players. And: 5 people ... today no longer so often), but outstanding, new mechanisms or combinations. The disclosure of the card for example can be found in a Varinate at 7 Wonders again.
I like the tension, the great clarity in the field, the balance between luck and tactics, and - in general always appeals to me - that you simply can not just go "its strategy", but depending on the situation, of a game and from one run to next must always reconsider, which train now is the ideal because. Because the constellations (bribery selection, card hand) can be so different! Sprinkle with a little psychotherapy (which is able to take a map / use my players well?) And memory component (which cards are gone?). And yet, to play not only to himself, but also, depending on the opposing trains (carriages, Notre Dame, what card do I get well from my neighbor?). Also control technology and -handwerklich very well done, the relationship between money and victory points in each component is really well calculated and balanced (could be from Knizia).
Finally, the amazement and satisfaction with what has been for different strategies already lost and won the game. Last with a rat-fighting Stratgeie of which I would never have believed that it leads to victory. I can not imagine that the game is "exhausted" after 100 matches me. So as to be a game: In the first game felt to be good, then enhancing and remains at a high level of fun and excitement. The game length, I feel exactly as appropriate.

A "decent" game of Alea series and one that its true significance in the games scene probably will take many more years have worked. Congratulations to the author Stefan field for this game!
