PLAYED FOR YOU

Wien! Das Spiel

HIStory of a metropolis

The board shows colored spots along a path, attractions and an illustrated timeline with events and dates. Cards carry information on Vienna’s history. Player markers start on a random black spot on the path. Seven site markers are randomly drawn and placed on the sites marked at their bases. Each player gets one card and places his time marker on the first site on the timeline. One player rolls seven dice. In your turn you first choose one of seven dice and then one of two possibilities: 1) move according to the die to reach a site marker and get cards; for locations outside Vienna special rules apply. 2) Play 1 to 3 cards to advance on the timeline or implement the special action of a red card. If you choose Action 2 you must choose a die, too! Advancement on the timeline depends on the kind of card you played and on the location of your marker at the start of the move, in relation to the event on the card. Whoever reaches the end of the timeline first, wins. If you reach a site marker you take it off the board and take three to one card depending on which marker you reached; there is a limit of 5 cards in hand for the end of your turn. When all dice have been taken, you roll them anew. When all site markers are taken you draw and place seven new ones. When there are not enough left you shuffle all site markers and place seven. Whoever reaches the end of the timeline first, wins.

A game on the history of a metropolis that entertains well and provides interesting information - events and locations are inviting and full of history, they make you want to go visit and get more information!
