By all accounts you've done a wonderful job translating this Mel. IMHO Lookout should send you a free copy of every game they make Hell, anyone playing outside of Germany will be using your translation.

Thanks, Iain.

It still needs a little polishing, I think. Klemens must have worked through the night to get those cards laid out!

And William deserves at least as much praise for doing the French translation, too. He's just less noisy about it than I am

This is a game I really want to play, the weight issue scares me from ordering more than the need to use lots of paste ups.

Can we do that? Ageeth wanted to open it right the evening after we bought it, because she thought it looked fantastic...

Of course you can! Enjoy

Melissa

Please let me know how this one plays. It looks very interesting.

Thanks.

This game sounds so great and funny. It's added to my want list. I love your Jane Austen reference in the comments.

Received, played and enjoyed.

Nice! It's quite fun even in person.

Just be careful to spin the dial VERY slowly. If you do it too fast, the numbers from the next slot will roll out.

Too bad, Traumfabrik used to be as common an Monopoly in Germany.

The strength of the euro isn't helping prices either.

I havent played it either; I got it to play umpteen other games while travelling; the deck is very useful.

It's one of my favorites, Melissa. I'm not seeing many trick takers on your rating list, but if you like them, I think you'll find this fascinating.

Note that I'm not saying necessarily that you'll like it. It'll either be really exciting how it takes many of the trick-taking game conventions and stands them on their ear, or really annoying. But either way, it'll be a fascinating exploration.

I love trick-taking games, Dave. We usually play Oh Hell when we're looking for a trick taker - we don't have time for Bridge, these days.

How did they get Sean Connery for the cover?

My copy arrived today also, the pain of receiving things at work is waiting until I get home to open and drool.
