| You really need to get the full complement of trees in order to be able to win the game. The counters are attractive, but the actual play value leaves one scratching his head and trying to figure out exactly what is going on ... (look these miniatures form a whole different army now - and that one is suddenly meant for 15mm rather than 25mm scale!) Even if you are the beneficiary of an early mistake, there's a potentially interesting parity thing going on at the end that at the very least presents an opportunity to make an even worse mistake. | |
| I am Greek,the game is fantastic(gameplay,artworrk ,theme etc) that's why i give a 10 | |
| Arnaud, David, Laurent, Mike. I had to have this game and try it at least 1 time. Only difficulty about learning is accepting the strange abstractions (e.g., "attacking" someone may mean compromising him with rumors of homosexuality, etc.). Even if you are the beneficiary of an early mistake, there's a potentially interesting parity thing going on at the end that at the very least presents an opportunity to make an even worse mistake. Can't believe people don't like this game. These event cards can have a devastating effect ... But if you want to keep on the safe side, then you can just play them in a season that they don't get activated. Too much damage, and a tree reverts to seed, causing you to lose ground (heh). A storm or fire can ruin a forest. Top quality package. | |
| Best part of the game? It stands out as one of the worst SPI designs of all time. Highly recommended. |

| A True Experience! How the hell did this get published? | |
| Typical 80ies trash, kill each other with strange items picked up in strangely drawn rooms. | |

| Preliminary rating based on one 2-player game. It has become the annual Cristmas Classic at Consim's Christmas Game meeting! A lot of fun with the right crowd. The only real difference is that the object of the game is to KILL EVERYONE ELSE! The time pressure was somewhat stressful though, as if you're interrupted twice on your turn, you lose it. |

| Birthday Gift from Clare Hooper. Played only with the starter decks, but was very impressed with mechanics; game does have a very 'tactical' feeling to it. I have not tried it 3-player. The ONLY good thing about this game is that it's so bad we hade some good laughs at it. Unfortunately, I've only played it once or twice since then and I haven't kept up with recent developments. |

| Sheer volume of rules has deterred me from really digging into this one. | |
| Unplayed as of yet... The game play is delightful. |

| Good. | |
| My kids would play many rounds of this if you let them but I play a game or two and then am ready to play something else. Also, the bidding cards are a severely broken rule because there's no negative consequence for overbidding. The cards leave something to be desired. I like the art too. It totally works. Fool! The nun player must get some help from the die rolls, otherwise it's over real quick, and the line of sight rules can get a bit tricky and accidentally break the game. Great game. And, our first two games were learning experiences, where we had to bumble through the vagaries around noise checks, line of sight issues (initially forgetting there were doors!), etc. Etc. Some people had problems getting the concept that there were doors everywhere like in a real building (they can be hard to see) and that these doors block LOS but not sound. The red cards can be too easy or hard as another poster indicated (I fully agree with this assessment). Update: Two more plays with only three players, with two people running two novices. .... Movement for the novices is done off board on paper and only the two nuns are actually on the board – at least until a novice is spotted. Novices move and then roll to see if they make noise which either of the nuns can hear. Update: I've decided that the game is best with 5+ players. ....... Few games can flow so smoothly at that number of players. I can't play just one when I play; I want to play another two or three immediately b/c I feel like I can do better, and the game length is perfect for that.

| A great mystery game! | |
| Rating from an adult perspective, though I could see how this could potentially be fun for kids. The math theme will scare some people away, but it's way better than Power Grid. CON - Nothing more than I-Spy. Forcing a player to skip his/her next turn for not getting it might be a possible fix. I know it's frustrating when you absolutely know where one of the novices is hiding but, since no one's made a noise, you have to walk right by them on your programmed route. Looking forward to plays with more people. There's also the possibility that players will make a mistake and move incorrectly...and it won't get noticed. I should add that the rulebook has its flaws. |

| Karten gut / Bankett bereits vorhanden / neue Karten deutlich blasser als Grundspiel. The New Society (8) is not changing the game very much. I haven't quite gauged how good or bad the farmer is. Need more plays. And worse is finding out there ARE no answers. Writing down of orders seems very Diplomacy and somehow out of synch with my prefered games of the 21st Century. It seems clunky to me. Petersburg is an unforgiving game, and if you fall behind, it's very hard to catch up. | |
| Interesting little wargame a little bit unbalanced for the french. |

Spellbound Game - and Sampler Day Game (1986)

|
| |
| I use this game a lot with my year 7-8 maths students. It's a good way to get them using their brains that they actually enjoy. | |
| It's not really a game, it's more of a puzzle-race, wherein players try to figure out how to get a result of "24" by combining 4 printed numbers using whatever mathematical operations necessary. I bought it because I liked the spring loaded blocks and there seemed to be some strategic options, but too much of the game boils down to a expensive version of MEMORY that I don't care for it. It is held for 5th and 6th graders and is extremeley competitive. |
Crowns D Civilization: Motor Adventure Game (1984)

| A very eurofied Civ experience. I'm not sure what I expected, but it certainly was more fiddly and luck dependant than I thought it would be, and with quite a lot of direct "choice-which-opponent-to-help/damage"-actions based on the cards. If a physical product is ever produced, I'm buying it! | |
| One of the first trad card games to have Trump and I think I prefer this to French Tarot. |
Flimma (2001)

| Origins '11 pick up. I've looked at it but haven't punched it out. | |
| Not yet played. This version surpasses it's predecessor. It is more about looks than gameplay I think, but it does look very cool. Players need to pay attention to the tiles already on the board since they may be able to use their tile to bridge two unfinished snakes in play. That was with 1st Era of Gold expansion. My 7 year old will play but he gets bored pretty quickly. |
