Description

In Nachtschwärmer, or Night Owls, you'll take on the role of a moth trying to reach the light in the center of the table before your opponents. The twist is that moths don't fly in a straight line, so you'll need to figure out how to navigate the curves to win. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this game is easy to pick up and play, making it accessible to a wide range of players. Designed by Sabrina von Contzen and published in 2020, Nachtschwärmer is a racing game that uses dice rolling to determine your movements. On each turn, you'll announce a number and roll the die, trying to guess correctly to advance your moth. The farther you move, the more curved your path will be, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. With obstacles like pretzels or gummis that can be added to the game, you'll need to be careful not to get sent back to the start. The game is designed for 2 to 6 players and can be played in as little as 5 minutes, making it a great option for a quick game night or a fun addition to a larger gathering. With its unique mechanics and fast-paced gameplay, Nachtschwärmer is a fun and exciting game that's sure to delight players of all ages.
