| Comments: | The game of the year in Sweden 1997. Invented by Dan Glimne and Henrik
Strandberg. A fun game. The strategy is quite a lot directed by the event cards you get. A really good rulles booklet, which gives a quick start of the game. But you have to play at least once, before you get a feeling of the strategy possibilities. (I don't know the English name of the game.) There is also a strategic PC game, which is a a spin-off of the game. It's published by Target Games. It's not that bad, but comparatively easy level to play. |
