Acqua Dolce (2009)

About this game

Description: The Acqua Dolce Aquarium needs to be rich of fish, plants, decorations and colours. Will you be able to make it beautiful using all your resources at your best and before your game opponents? Or maybe it's better you come back and play only when you have gold fish?! Acqua Dolce is a simple card game really easy to learn. It's quick and at the same time requires some thinking and strategy. The winner is the first player to get rid of all his cards and who meets the requirements of the Objective Cards. These cards show the aquarium’s requirements: minimum number of fish, colours, ornament type etc. Game can improve his complexity and intensity, if players want it, increasing Objective numbers.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
