Oh yeah, we play it. Duke Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 02:59:30 AM
I was wondering how many of you out there have played this game before. My friends and I have been playing this German-import game (designed by the genius of Klaus Tueber) for years now, both tabletop (it is a board game) and online (most popular site to play is www.games.asobrain.com).

I've seen the crappy XBox/MSN versions, and they suck.

I'm sure the Europeans on this site will have at least heard of it (very very popular over there, and I think it is the National Sport of the Netherlands LOL), if not played it, but it doesn't seem to be that well known here in the States.


We play the board game at school in our lounge. Have the expansion game there too, until the lounge manager got fed up with it being left out and not put away properly. It's a pretty fun game. From Canada by the way, and we know about. Could be that we're engineering students and therefore a little bit different than everyone else.

I'm from the US and have played it with friends. They hate that I usually win. Zalis - 01/09/2009 05:40:19 PM 1149 Views
have you played any of the expansions? imlad - 01/09/2009 05:50:46 PM 1304 Views
Nope. I've only played the board version, and a game usually takes no more than 1.5 hrs with 4. Zalis - 01/09/2009 06:05:49 PM 1132 Views
