Locale (2009)

About this game

A game of world geography and cunning deception. In Locale, the object of the game is to make up a story by explaining as much as you can about a given location. (Do you know where Bird-in-Hand is? How about Timbuktu?) Players vote on whose story is the most believable. Players score points by writing a story that's good enough to fool others or correctly guessing the true locale. Bluff your way around the globe! (from official press release by Discovery Bay Games)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
