|
|

|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
The ultimate German game
|
|
By [Cheapass Games](http://cheapass.com/)
|
|
|
|
Rule 1: Do not think about the bean.
|
|
Rule 2: Do not bisect the bean.
|
|
|
|
You can win with the longest road, the shortest road, or the most medium
|
|
road; the most balanced herd; the fastest hay wain (fair days only); the
|
|
most gregarious senator, the most accurate clock, or the closest ratio
|
|
of tadpoles to frogs (inverted) during any rainy period. You can win by
|
|
controlling the most of two commodities, but not of three. Victory goes
|
|
to the fastest ship (laden), the fastest ship (unladen), or the two
|
|
ships (one of each color) with the highest combined speed. You can win
|
|
by digging the deepest mine; raising the fluffiest herd; or by finishing
|
|
first in last race, last in first race, or first and last in the most
|
|
races overall. You can win with the largest rank of followers at the
|
|
end of the Insurrection Phase, the friendliest chef, or the least
|
|
talkative ghost. If you are the first player to reach the top of the
|
|
building with both your blimbers, or if your climbers are the only ones
|
|
left on the building, you win. The holder of the "Eternal Darkness"
|
|
token at the end of any round (unliss that player is Grandmother) wins.
|
|
Control of Nlort, Quimper, and Nice for one month (excluding Cunnery
|
|
Phase and not including Midnight Madness); joint monopolies in Space
|
|
Gas, Brie, and Garbage; or the tallest pile of pigs are also conditions
|
|
of victory. (Pigs in excess of total brake strength are deducted from
|
|
tallest pile, obviously.) You can win by creating the table with the
|
|
most legs; the most central city; the most non-central city; the planet
|
|
with the highest gravity; or by collecting the largest variety of
|
|
grains. Swimming is good for you. Each day spent in prison without
|
|
escaping: deduct 16 Points. Failure to say "Hail to the King" when a
|
|
King is played: Deduct 4 Points. Highest annual fluctuation each round
|
|
in relative value of all (controlled) local currencies combined as
|
|
measured by the particular net present value equation given in the last
|
|
line of the top card of the discard pile, not counting Banking cards
|
|
(unless the King is on or within one space of your most populous
|
|
territory): score as value. You can win by accumulating the most rice;
|
|
taking the most tourists on the same bus; removing the last stone from
|
|
the "wheel of eternity" board; retiring more than three vampires during
|
|
the Carnival; taking the longest turn; earning the most points; or by
|
|
taking the most moves back. The player with the closest pre-game guess
|
|
to sum of car numbers in second and third place in all races combined
|
|
(without going over) earns 21 points. If a player has paid to "Ride the
|
|
Pony" at least once before the Investment Phase of the third banking
|
|
day, that player wins once for each card he has collected from each
|
|
deck. Woodsman's Festival Bonus: the player with the most unused
|
|
Sovereigns (i.e., unspent for at least three turns, track with counters)
|
|
earns 5 Points for each merchant at the fair selling soup, wine, goats,
|
|
or decorative hats, and a triple bonus if any of these items contain
|
|
elements from that player's most recent Market Visit (please do not
|
|
combine bonuses for multiple entries in the same section, and ignore
|
|
foyers and vestibules when calculating square feet). You can with with
|
|
the cleanest monkey, the smallest enzyme, the most absurd victory
|
|
conditions, or the most chutzpah. If there is a tie for most
|
|
simultaneous victories, the game gose to the player with the longest
|
|
hair. If there is a tie for longest hair, the game goes to the player
|
|
with the most cards in hand. If there is a tie for most cards in hand,
|
|
the game goes to the player with the moistest feet. If there is a tie
|
|
for moistest feet, you may wish to score again: you probably missed
|
|
something.
