Anno Domini Süden

Dates for an umbrella term

For years and years now Anno Domini provides a special fun for all friends of dates and interested in events, new theme boxes keep appearing. These theme boxes feature 336 cards and are all focused on a special topic, they can be played as a stand-alone game or in combination with other theme boxes; this so called Mix of Worlds is warmly recommended by the designer.

Each card in Anno Domini shows an event and on the back-side the corresponding date. You are dealt 9 cards and lay them out with the black event side showing, the rest of the cards is also stacked events up. Take care, you should slide cards across the table, not pick them up so as to not show the date on the back! The first card is laid out from the stack. In his turn each player chooses one of his cards and places it where he thinks it chronologically belongs.

If you do not believe the chronological order of events as laid out, you can doubt: The round ends, all cards in the middle are turned up: When the order is correct, that is all numbers are laid out chronologically the player who doubted takes 2 cards from the stack; when the order is wrong, the player before the doubter must take 3 cards regardless of who made the mistake because he was the last on to believe the sequence. If you are first do get rid of all your cards you win.

This theme box is devoted to “South”, a very broad umbrella term indeed, you find things like “The Song Yumi, Yumi, Yumi becomes national anthem for Vanuatu” – interesting as always, entertaining as always, always trigger for animated discussions and surprised reactions, often not only due to the date!
