Isegrim (2011)

About this game

In Isegrim, players are trying to collect a certain set of cards in order to win – but they don't even necessarily know what they're holding! The deck in Isegrim consists of fifty double-sided cards, with each side of a card showing one of five animals in one of five landscapes. Each player starts the game with seven cards in hand, with a circle of fifteen cards laid out in a circle on the table. Players then exchange cards based on questions and answers between one another, trying to lead others down false paths while collecting the cards one needs in order to win.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
