¡Cobardes! (2017)

About this game

While everyone in the village and the court is crying over the deceased King, you and his other heirs are thinking only of gaining that throne! ¡Cobardes! is a two-player intuition game, fast and simple. Each coward Prince recruits warriors, and in addition receives the support of a villain and a courtier in each battle. A battle is fought in different and subsequent combats. In each combat, two warriors face each other. When one of them overcomes the other by 2 or more points of strength, he gains the combat and grants the victory in that battle to his Prince. The game and the Crown will befall the player who achieves victory in three battles or, even better, the one who beats the rival Prince on the battlefield.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
