Shadow Master (2016)

About this game

The family game Schattenmeister creates tricky gaming fun and lots of challenges as players have to unravel a mysterious shape and divide it into its components. To do this, they must bring a keen eye and the power of deduction as it isn't easy when they are looking at silhouettes overlapping each other. Only little details are recognizable. But what do they depict? An ear, a wing, or a handle? The player who sees through the shadows and collects most points will be the Master of Shadows.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
