Ausgerechnet Buxtehude (2005)

About this game

Is Buxtehude West or East of Hamburg? And where is Kassel? In the North, or in the South? Those who know a little about Germany won’t have any trouble placing the location cards in their correct places. And those who don’t will certainly learn a thing or two when playing Ausgerechnet Buxtehude (It had to be Buxtehude). Because really, it’s not so much about putting the cards in the right spots – it’s more about making the other players believe they’re right. But if a falsely-played card is called out, trouble follows...

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
