DKT Alpen

Mountain CHalets and tourists

DKT, the Austrian equivalent to Monopoly, now under the aegis of Piatnik, has been given a new, typically Austrian Version with some changes as regards to rules details. The game now features two tourists, who start the game on the squares for Alpine Chalet and Hot Spring; each player starts with 2.000 € seed money and four promissory notes. The risk card that was discarded last determines the current season, at the start of the game it is summer.

Following the core rules players move through the Austrian alpine landscape as tourists and want to earn big money with their hotels in the mountains; you roll the die, move your marker, buy building slots, pay rent and construct chalets and hotels. Special squares like Hot Springs and Alpine Chalet demand immediate reaction and physical exertion, you must wedel or moo; if you react too slowly you pay a penalty. Cable Car Station, Real Estate Agent and Construction Company are additional special squares. You can take out loans and when you move across Start you can pay back a loan at its nominal value of 500 €; if you pay back a loan while on other squares you must pay 700 €. You can only pay back one loan / promissory note per turn. If you have paid off all your promissory notes and are free of debt you immediately win the game.

With this version Piatnik continues the updating and modernizing of the DKT game mechanics that has been successfully started with DKT dynamic; DKT Alpen offers cute details in addition to the standard rules and the familiar enticement; these details result in a self-contained, stand-alone game that is a must for all fans of DKT.
