This quarter, the board game nights continued.
Once again, the Golden Harp in 1090 Vienna was the chosen venue for 10 association members and a handful of board games.
7 Wonders, the “Kennerspiel des Jahres” in 2011, is a game designed for two to seven players set in the ancient world. For this game, our treasurer, Michael, was the one who explained the rules. Thanks to its simple rules and quick simultaneous gameplay, “7 Wonders” is suitable for both casual players and experienced gamers. In this strategic card game, players gather resources, trade, and construct world wonders over three ages. By accumulating victory points through various means, it remains uncertain until the end who will emerge as the winner of the game. Tactical decisions and keeping an eye on the world wonders of fellow players are at the forefront of “7 Wonders.”
So Kleever! was a recommendation for the Game of the Year in 2022 and can be played with two to six players. In this game, which is more about the fun of playing than about points and winning, a clue word is written down for each pair of keywords using the “Chinese Whispers” principle. From these clues, the rest of the group must reconstruct the keywords. Samuel only had to explain the game the first time. Thanks to its simple rules, the gameplay principle, explained in two sentences, quickly spread like wildfire around the table.
After the board game night, is before the board game night.
As the next quarter is traditionally filled with cookies, Advent wreaths, and Christmas celebrations, here’s a ‘Save the Date’ for the next board game evening: November 24, 2023.
P.S.: On this evening there was also a small debut: The Gamerlicious Spielekulturverein table stands and business cards. This may have caught the attention of a few interested individuals who could now inform themselves on our association.
See you next time!
