Venture (2019)

About this game

Venture is a card game were you take on the role of a revolutionary scientist and attempt to complete your missions before your opponents. Each player needs to prepare their strategy and sabotage their opponents to win the Nobel Prize. It is not an educational game per se, but it does have some educational elements added for bonus! Each player starts with a role and nine cards. On their turn, a player draws a card from the deck and either adds it to his hand or does the event listed. Action cards are played and missions are completed by playing additional cards. The player who completes the most missions is the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• 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.
