Attandarra (2009)

About this game

This game was self-produced by the designer Horst Rokitte. The game is about rebuilding the city of Attendorn (first named Attandarra in 1072 AD). Every player has got a personal board where he builds some of the known buildings of Attendorn (like Hospital, Church, Castle, Abbey, Townhall,... 18 in total). On the central board you'll find a resource-market where the resources wood, clay, stone and glass can be bought (in order to build the 18 buildings) as well as a point-counter and a 'coordination-field'. On this field citizen- and/or money-tokens can be bought in order to put them on buildings that were built on the personal board. A building with a token on it, gets more value at the end of the game. Further details, pictures and the rules (in German) could be found on the publisher's homepage www.spiele-idee.de (now turned off).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
