Nizza (1993)

About this game

The English crown jewels have been stolen and are being held in the city of Nice (aka Nizza). Up to 6 players may travel to the city, landing by helicopter, to stage a commando-like raid to recover the jewels. Players climb ladders to rooftops, swing on ropes from chimney to chimney, cover short stretches on the ground and toss each other into the river in an attempt to be the first to bring the crown jewels out of the safe and back to the waiting helicopter.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
