Galopp Royal (1995)

About this game

While ostensibly a racing game - a "racing your sedan chair around the gardens of Versailles" game, no less - the heart of Galopp Royal is the auction rounds that precedes each race: a jumble of bluffing, bidding & wild swings of luck.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
