Lübeck (2009)

About this game

A family strategy game set in the Hanseatic city of the same name, Lübeck will have players sailing through the North and East Seas in order to trade goods. Each round players choose cards for the products to be delivered, then try to move to their destinations, confronting maximum hand sizes along the way, as well as pirates and the shifting currents of the sea.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
