We tried. Multiple. And the time prognosis of 60 to 100 minutes busted every time, but without ever having started with the game at all. The preparation alone (in the manual fills four A4 pages), are in the many fixtures and panels side by side assembled and equipped with several figures and plates, stacked to cards and designed, has swallowed up all the time and, ultimately, our motivation, Aqua Sphere learn. The end: armed, resentment, frustration, a biting into the guidance, while the others give again. Neither idea still building, still the course allow an intuitive approach, nothing arises obvious. Aha-effects of the type: "Oh, it comes!" have failed to materialize even after intensive studies. What is there really to do and why, simply open up not. One does not come into it. The jumble of arrows, numbers and operators, which characterizes the appearance of the game wearing his help. The set of instructions about the event that you are playing for two, three or four of us, this or that boot sector has this or that research map has obvious performs an intermediate or final evaluation, etc. is almost overwhelming. Unmanageable and quite literally: the pitch. Our dining table has it not been sufficient. And since every several small so-called "bots" must be positioned next to each other on a personal "player tableau", the structure is also anything but to call stable. After a little thoughtless movement of the elbow can spend a lot of time under the table to pick up everything again. The best way to the pitch laid equal a Sphere deep. Parquet owners have a clear advantage. But three hours rumhocken on the ground - that comes from 12 years, and for players from age 12 it is supposedly intended, but rather out of fashion. We: that is the way academic embossed educated middle class, a retired senior teacher and two grandchildren who go to Gymmasium. Then one must not imagine much, true. Especially not after you have tried to understand this game. One should rather see the fact in the eye, that there is simply deeper "spheres", as you can ertauchen one afternoon. We dedicate ourselves again prefer simpler things like the theory of relativity or Marcel Proust. I am ready some time and mental effort in a game to invest before the fun begins. But apart from that it's just me in this case failed, but there's also the quasi dramaturgical claim that voltage of a few requirements, complexity from a single source may develop full rules. Of Mr. Stefan Field, the yes otherwise must be a shrewd man, never heard clearly.
Conclusion: Warning! Endangers the House Blessing! Never again. Unless it finds a wise under the sun, dominating the game and can personally explain. Two stars because execution and play materials come along really high. Only wood and paper, no plastic. My grandson said: Perhaps one can play another game with it. The expected mean imagine the smaller effort to make as the Master in Aqua Sphere ...
