Hey everyone.
I got the steam game on a sale some time ago. Now my wife is playing it a lot more than me through family share. Her birthday is coming up and I’m thinking about getting the game for her as it also won Spiel des Jahres this year.
Have any of you played the game? I’d be happy to hear any experiences you want to share.
I’m going to preface this with: I do not own nor have I played the board game! But I’m very familiar with the original video game. I recall there being complaint from a subset of people that the video was very light, with little to do.
With that in mind, I’ve heard similar ‘complaints’ about the board game. But the reason I’m hearing this is because the board game is a hilariously accurate representation of the original. It’s very light (hence the Speil de Jahre win), but if you’re looking for a co-operative version of the game, I think this will be a winner!
My wife adores the steam version so if it is very close to that but cooperative then that’d be a plus.
After you’ve finished the first game, you’ll score and be allowed (or maybe have to save up points) to open up boxes with new content to play with again - just like the Steam version!
I think they key to enjoying this one is to be aware of what Dorfromantik is, and I think you and your wife already know!
