Description
Packen Wir's! is a classic game from 1992, designed by the innovative Karl-Heinz Schmiel, where 2 to 5 players take on the roles of furniture movers trying to deliver their loads safely to the correct flats. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to a wide range of players, and its short 45-minute playtime means you can get in a fun game without making a huge time commitment. As players, you'll work together to navigate the challenges of moving furniture, but don't be fooled - it's not all about cooperation. You'll also need to negotiate with your fellow players to maximize your earnings in tips. The real excitement starts when a load is in the correct location to be delivered. That's when you'll choose a partner and work together to maneuver miniature dollhouse furniture into the right spots using a pair of wooden sticks. The catch is that each player can only hold one stick, so communication and teamwork are key. If the furniture gets upended or dropped, it's considered broken, and neither player will earn a tip. This cooperative element adds a fun and social aspect to the game, as you'll need to rely on your partner to get the job done. The player with the most tips at the end of the game is declared the winner, so there's a sense of friendly competition to balance out the cooperation. As a game that combines dexterity and action with negotiation and cooperation, Packen Wir's! offers a unique and entertaining experience. The game's use of physical objects, like the wooden sticks and miniature furniture, adds a tactile element that's hard to find in more straightforward board games. With its lighthearted theme and easy-to-learn rules, Packen Wir's! is a great choice for players of all ages and skill levels looking for a fun and engaging game that's a little out of the ordinary.
