Edel, Stein & Reich

Quick look by Moritz Eggert

Unusually random and light fare from Alea, plays more like a family game than a real challenge
for geeks. The basic mechanics are perhaps more fully realized in other games, and the draw of
event cards introduces a high luck element that can either lead to incredible gains or totally
useless cards. The trading phase is the most interesting aspect of the game (when two players have
played the same action, they have to negotiate who is actually going to do it). Not a bad game at
all, but not a great one, as one has come to expect of Alea.
