| Extract from the Essen game report 2002 | I had heard a lot of
the card game “Von Kap bis Kairo” and was looking forward to
try it now. You start the game with a certain amount of money, which you
use to make blind bids on the tracks with. I thought it was a pity that
you had to have pen and paper to write down your bid, but it was a pretty
ok game, although not so good as I had thought. Ok as a game to carry with
you on travels anyway. Christina said that the combination of a train
theme and the blind bidding made it a bad game. Rating: Carl=6, Christina=4, Henrik=6 |
