Moteneba. (2013)

About this game

User summary: Moteneba. ('Gotta be popular') is a game in which the players try to impress seven girls, becoming more and more popular. Players take turns placing cubes representing sportiness, intelligence, looks, wealth and esprit on various girls. How much effect a certain something has depends on what trends are going, and players can instead decide to elevate the trend of a certain trait, effectively affecting everyone's decision. The game goes on for three deals, in between which the game board never resets. Almost all information is open, but there are random elements on what cubes are drawn.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 15 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
