Elfenland, Nichte die Bohne
We stayed at our cottage last weekend with some friends and managed to fit in some gaming.
We played this with five, including two people who had not played board games in years. It went down well, but I must remember to not to teach thinking games like this after 9.30pm and a big dinner. Our guests were surprised that a relatively strategic game comes in such a light-hearted package. We had a lot of fun joking about gay elves and thigh boots.
This is too simplistic for me. It tries to occupy the same space as Coloretto, but does not have enough of the same tough decisions. We still had fun with trying to screw each other, especially the non-gamers, but Ness afterwards was complaining that there was too much luck involved and that was even after winning, which is pretty rare for her! You might as well just play Omnibus Hearts.
