Pfusch (1992)

About this game

A light game of economics in the big city. From the English rules: In Pfusch, 2 to 5 cheapskate builders try to finish as many buildings as possible. To increase profits, the contractors try to use the cheap materials in place of the expensive stone materials. Beware the building inspectors, whose job it is to assure that safe buildings are constructed. If a builder gets caught Pfusch-ing (deliberately bungling the construction), he loses the building under construction. If he is caught a third time, his building license is revoked.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 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.
