iGranie z Gruzem (2014)

About this game

iGranie z Gruzem simulates living in Poland, as seen by a satiric cartoonist Kobieta Åšlimak. Players assume the roles of a young people, freshly graduated from college, with no perspectives for their further lives. Each character has a goal of gathering 15 food, 15 money, and 15 resourcefulness to achieve their dream goals. Each also has some unique abilities to help them advance. Players take turns rolling a die to move on the board. Along the way they will draw cards related to the area they are in - some examples involve: a new assignment at work, acquiring groceries (not necessarily by shopping), or having an intimate encounter. Each turn characters need to eat, and once in while they will also have to pay rent. Failure to meet these requirement will have unpleasant consequences.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 16 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
