Schinderhannes
The Trial
Schinderhannes was a real person, a criminal in the Taunus region by the name of Johannes Bückler, against whom at least 211 crimes from theft to murder were proven. In the Schinderhannes game, players embody residents of the Soonwald. In the beat of Schinderhannes you try to filter out information from rumors, cards that is, that you receive, and which assist you in being able to correlate the crimes committed by Schinderhannes with the 16 villages of the area. For each elimination of a false clue you receive bounty. When all crimes have been explicitly assigned to a location, the game ends and the winner of the game is the player who accrued most bounty.
The 3rd expansion for Schinderhannes, Der Strafprozess, features the criminal proceedings against Schinderhannes in fourteen puzzles, each of them has a unique solution. Players again rival for the assignment of crimes to locations. Cards from the core game provide information to solve the preset puzzles. The game comprises five phases - I. Select info cards in relation to the number of players. II - Draft four task cards. III. Take Info cards - District and Group cards. IV. Acquire information from other players, you ask them for info cards. V. State a suspicion - once per turn, by placing a crime marker with your own marker, maximum three crime markers are possible at a location.
When all players are done with stating suspicions, you score for correctly placed crime markers with your marker and for solved crimes = correct placements on your task card.
Logic fun as one wants it to be, even more interesting and thrilling due to the reference to real historic events.
