Essen 2010

Pre-Orders are closed!

I am very excited to be able to attend my first Spiel event this October.  Indie Boards and Cards has teamed up with Bambus Spielverlag to exhbit together at this year's event.  Our booth will be located in Hall 12, booth number 1276. 

We will be offering a number of Essen Specials to help promote our games, more details to follow.

I look forward to meeting and playing games with you.

Triumvirate, Haggis & The Resistance - 40€ (Street Price - 47,50€)

Triumvirate & Haggis - 24€ (Street Price - 29,50€)

Triumvirate is a trick taking game for two players.  It is an indirect game, the winneris not the player that has won the most tricks, rather it is the player with the most influence over the Emperor at the end of the game. You can try to win outright, but usually you'll have to manipulate your way to victory.

Game reviews:  An innovative and thematic trick taking game for two players that actually works, An Acquired Taste, But Is It Worth Acquiring?,  A Wonderful New Spin on a Classic Mechanic

 

Triumvirate - 14€ (Street Price 16€)

Haggis is a "climbing" card game (similiar to Tichu, Big Two) for 2-3 players.  Mechanics feature traditional elements of card combinations, bombs, scoring for cards in hand, scoring for cards collected in tricks. and bidding/betting.  Innovative wild cards create tension in every hand.


Game Reviews: Tichu for 2-3!?, A Tichu Alternative for the socially challenged, How Haggis is not like Tichu, A betting bombing beauty

Haggis - 12€ (Street Price 12,50€)

The Resistance is an intense social deduction game for 5-10 players.  Game mechanics are blend of pure social games such as Werewolf or Mafia, and classic deduction games.  Game play is fast, and does not require a moderator or have player elimination as seen in werewolf games. 

Game reviews: Bruno Faidutti - Ideal Game Library,  Voltage Over Current, Perspective from an Outspoken Gamer , The game Bang! should have been... and less!



The Resistance - 16€ (Street Price 18€)
