Did you guys read the reviews

Quite disappointed by the map's art. Could have been ok in the 80's, but obsolete by today's graphic standards.

Please get the place names right - all Umlauts are missing on the map (Göttingen, Münster, Düsseldorft, Gütersloh, Würzburg - just to name the ones that pop out immediately).

Only a 3.6 rating out of 5.


Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

3.6 based on 5 reviews with 3 comments from 2018 (not even final map art).


The map looks fine to me and I don't really care about missing umlauts.

Yeah, I completely disregard “reviews” of a game that hasn’t even been printed yet.....

Yeah, I never understood how BGG gets ratings on games not even released, yet. Though I realize they do release early copies to some reviewers, but still...

So too is the concept of "not needing another damned P500 on my list"

I didn't buy a single game at Huzzah this year. There wasn't much for board game vendors. Some used stuff, but nothing I really wanted.
