Description

A Berlin city version of "Ausgerechnet Buxtehude," which is, itself, a 2-dimensional geographical variant of Urs Hostettler classics like "Ein Solches Ding/Such a Thing" and „Anno Domini." Players take turns placing a location card somewhere on the N-S-E-W grid in relation to previously placed cards. After each card is placed, a player may doubt its position in relation to another card. If she is correct in doubting, she gains a chip from the player who placed the card. If she is incorrect, she must give the other player a one of her chips. There is also an intermediate scoring round when players must guess at how many total cards in the layout are placed correctly.

As in all the other similar games, knowledge is helpful, but good bluffing can sometimes make up for a lack of knowledge.
