Eine gegen Eine (2009)

About this game

"Eine gegen Eine" ("One for One") is different. On the one hand it's a quite normal four player game but on the other it's an experience. There are well defined rules but no rule book around. The players get to learn the rules just by unpacking and playing. Forget reading rules and explaining. Just play. As discovering is part of the game there is - no information about the content. - no information about the genre. - no information about the rules. Eine gegen Eine is a project by "Weilburger Sieben". During the fourth "Deutsche Spieleautorentagung" (German game designers congress) seven game designers did a workshop to try something new: a game that completely explains itself. Eine gegen Eine is the result of this attempt.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 4 players — no more, no fewer.
• 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 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
