Don Carlo (2020)

About this game

Each one of the player is the Consigliere (counsellor) of an old-established family. Your task? Gain the maximum possible influence for your family in Absurdistan and the neighbouring countries. To achieve this, send out agents to these countries by combining cards with numbers on it (for example 007) and attempt to gain an edge on the other families. The total of the numbers on the cards, decide in which country the agents travels. Of course there can only be one 007, so the task is to find more number combinations. The more agents are already in the country the more points the player gets. The one who combines their cards most cleverly, pockets the most points at the end.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 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.
