Die Erbtante (1997)

About this game

Aunt Mary is single, rich, has lots of money, relatives and boyfriends. She wishes to leave some of her great wealth to her relatives, but none are allowed to receive more than she herself inherited long ago - 50 heirloom points (in furniture, jewelery, clocks, etc.) That is the limit that each player (Aunt Mary's relatives) may acquire - unless, of course, Aunt Mary marries one of her 9 boyfriends. Should that happen, Aunt Mary is distracted and players may grab for as much loot as they wish!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
