PLAYED FOR YOU

Meins!

PURE COLLECTORS MANIA

As a member in the „Club of Hunters and Gatherers“ you compete for exotic exhibits and the title of „Collector of the Year“, which you must win for yourself by clever use of money, connections and other methods.

Four exhibits are laid out and also nine Acquisition Cards in a 3x3 grid. The exhibits show kind and number of acquisition cards necessary to pay for them. Between players category cards are laid out, so that two players share one such card. Those two players compete for that card. Finally, each player is given a mansion.

You always take one row of acquisition cards from the grid, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, and place it in front of you. Then you can acquire exhibits using acquisition cards from your stock or - once in the game - upgrade your mansion. Acquisition cards you used are discarded and the grid is replenished from stock for the next player. When a player puts the 3^rd exhibit next to the same side of his mansion his turn and the current period of the game end immediately: All players must discard - rounded down - half of their acquisition cards and four new exhibits are laid out.

After three such periods two players compare their exhibits with the category card they share - if you have more exhibits in the category you take the card and then you win with most victory points from exhibits, category cards and upgraded mansion.

Meins! is a nice set collection game, the allure is in the decision of you enter in the competition for the category card or rather collect the 2 victory points it grants via exhibits and also in the chance factor due to availability of acquisition cards.
