Friesematenten (1998)

About this game

Friesematenten is a card game. The goal of the game is to collect enough of the right type of cards to score 40 victory points. Cards are collected through auctions. Each card either provides victory points, produces income or gives you actions to manipulate already played cards. The game is semi collectible with 200+ cards in the whole game but each individual game coming with a subset of those 200 cards. The base game comes with two extension sets of 60 random cards and is enough for a two-player game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
