Description
In Tallinn, you're trying to win over the three most powerful forces in 14th century medieval Tallinn: the Teutonic Knights, the church, and the merchants. The game is simple to learn and plays quickly, with 2 to 4 players competing over 10 to 20 minutes. Each player starts with the same set of cards, which have two halves with different icons representing influence in one or two of the groups. Players secretly select a card and choose which half to use, then reveal their choices simultaneously. The goal is to collect victory points by comparing your influence with other players, and scoring points for each group where you have more symbols. The game requires strategic hand management and simultaneous action selection, with a hint of bluffing as you try to outmaneuver your opponents. With its simple rules and quick gameplay, Tallinn is a fun and engaging game for anyone looking for a medieval-themed card game.
