Description
Anno Domini: Maschinen is a fast-paced and interactive card game that's all about bluffing and timing. Released in 2020, this game is designed by Urs Hostettler and can be played with a group of 2 to 8 players, making it perfect for parties or gatherings. The game rules are surprisingly simple, and can be explained quickly, so you can jump right into the action. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, you can fit in a few rounds and have a blast competing with your friends. The game consists of cards with historical events on one side and the corresponding year on the other. Each player starts with a hand of nine cards and takes turns placing them in chronological order, trying to get rid of all their cards first. But here's the twist - you can't see the year on the cards, only the event description. You have to use your knowledge of history and a bit of luck to place your cards correctly. And if you think someone has made a mistake, you can challenge them and potentially gain an advantage. If the order is correct, the doubting player gets penalized with extra cards and misses a turn. But if the order is incorrect, the previous player gets punished, and the challenger gets to continue playing. As part of the Anno Domini series, Anno Domini: Maschinen can be played on its own or combined with other sets, offering countless hours of entertainment. The game mechanics of card drafting and bluffing make it a thrilling experience, and the trivia element adds an extra layer of excitement. With its unique blend of history, strategy, and social interaction, Anno Domini: Maschinen is a game that will keep you and your friends engaged and laughing. So gather your friends, get ready to test your knowledge of history, and dive into the fun world of Anno Domini: Maschinen.
