With a simple and gripping gameplay, you'll learn a lot of important notions, to be real EUROPE nationals and do the first shopping in EURO. The game goes around the board where players need to make decisions and some weird things, like to make a sound of money or what is the most expensive thing you know. Gameplay it's simple: Every player get an amount of fake money, and a "Travel Agency"; they puts two paws (one plastic, one cardboard with standup) one in a track where different thinks can happens, and one in a map of the European Union.

Where do I start?

A perfectly passable party game, though it pales in comparison to its competition. It was too difficult to know who had said the last word. Lemberg was fixed by a great CSW contributor. We don't really care who wins, but the words that get blurted out are hilarious. It resembles monopoly but gameplay is more straight forward. You buy stocks that gives you money and advantages on gameplay. You try to get good items (stories, photos, ads) but you also get stuck with some junk and you allow your competitors to get some of the good stuff (simulated by the item being removed from the game). At least this one is short. Eagerness to Play Again: No Desire Plays (2): 3 players: 1 5 players: 1 I think it means you need to trade your stocks and you can trade your gold if you choose.

Worst Verdun Game Ever! Sorry I did, my wife and I find it slow moving and boring, uninspired play. However, picking a letter and screaming out words starting with the letter really doesn't need a board game... It wasn't as bad as the 2 I originally gave it. Good for getting people all wound up... Fairly fun, just too long. Since only the last "correct" word count..

Mechanic	Roll and Move Variable Player Powers
Description	Each player has a track for his pawn. Land, sea and air units each have their own factories, replacing the generic city production points of the standard game. He can add towns and abbeys to his belongings, and also build ports, markets and walls on his towns. Your job is to find the matching clues and, by shrewd trading, plant them in another house or another player's hand, and then implicate him in the crime. Once again, BACW's command and initiative system has to pick up the slack, allowing the Federal player some control of the battle while showing just how the Little Mac's dysfunctional command style prevented complete victory.

Amazing kids game! Reminds me a little of Blokus.

R636 Too many shapes, too many options which means cannot plan ahead.

It's a bit too abstract for me personally to enjoy too often, but it's pefectly playable and a clever game.

Looks silly, but plan to try it someday.

2nd Edition. To "win," the French must wind up on the plus side of the morale table. Not ADC, Vassal or cyberboard module (ODG does not grant authorization).

Comments

Have played this with my wife as a 'learning' game, but yet to play it 'properly'. AVOID. Without the plexiglass this board may be a bit sturdier but it's still going to have the peaks and valleys even with back folding, and now you've got the added bonus of a massive gap down the middle of the board where the split is. I own this map, as it came with a copy I traded for, but I really do not see the point in it.

A party fun, "attempt to mind-meld- with your partner" or getting on the same wavelenght type of game.

Terrific game for couples; probably the best "self-expression" game I have played.

I seem to recall hearing that the US version uses a different (and inferior) deck of pictures. I plan on playing this with my girlfriend and her roommates at a game day soon.

I like the packaging but the game just didn't play as well as I had hoped. Game is tough to win which is good for a solitaire game. But as a game it disn't seem to work.

Owned & unplayed.

I had to break down and buy this after the first play.

1 game played. Wonderful for its time, but I doubt I would play it today.

Laminated map.

This entry leads to "Bosworth." Didn't care much for the tactical game, though.

Without interest. Not convinced it works with 3 though. Of course it's just a roll and move kinda game, but it's cute and it should get him actively involved. This is the first map that I honestly didn't like. Another copy was found in a thrift store which I will probably gift to a chess player.

(4-8) - 60 Min.

A very interesting abstract that is mildly reminiscent of (mostly for the tiles and movement -- not the gameplay). A really nice mix of strategy (tile laying of tracks) and interaction (bidding and trading of shares) It would probably rate higher if I played it again.

Simpler forerunner to Ivanhoe.

Simple and very quick Knizia card game, since eclipsed by Ivanhoe which I own but haven't played yet. Nothing to play here, move along. My family sure had an eclectic game collection. You can really see how his earlier endeavors influenced later games.
