Contária (2016)

About this game

Contária is a "filler" card game, where each player will create a story with 4 characters trying to make a combination that creates the most happy or sad ending. Description from the designer: In Contária, 20 different and unique characters exists, each one having unique powers to interact with other cards and change the game in different ways, making for an strategic and always different game. With an art based on classic paintings, Contária's beautiful cards are made in big cards of 80mm x 120mm. A game for a 3 to 5 players, with duration from 10 to 20 minutes. Contária is not a Storytelling game, but an strategic game with light bluff. Creating and telling stories is possible, but not a part of the game mechanics.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
