Alex & Co

2 x Bücken, 2 x Neuwahl

Two names that might be taken as a demand for action in German, but they are the names of two out of 27 game designers that are featured in this game. The game was published to celebrate the 10 Year Jubilee of the European Society of Game Collectors ESG in collaboration with the Game Designers Association SAZ in a limited edition fo 1400 copies. Thus for the first time the yearly collectable gift to ESG members is available also for non-ESG members.

The title of the game honors Alex Randolph, the honorary Chairman of the SAZ, who passed away in 2004. The sets of cards comprise one card for the designer and 1-5 cards for games by this designer. ESG cards and SAZ cards are action cards. These action cards can be played, using the ESG card you can draw a card form another player, using the SAZ card you can ask for a certain designer twice.

In your move you can play action cards, must name cards or exchange cards or turn up cards in the display and may put out sets anytime during the move. To name a card you can name either another player or a card in the display and name a designer or a game, but only of you already hold corresponding cards. If you choose correctly you receive the card and have another move. To exchange you ask another player for a game of a certain designer and exchange cards with this player in case of success.

You can set down complete or incomplete sets and can also put down single cards that correspond to incomplete sets of other players.

A nice idea, a simple mechanism and the first game on the subject of game designers; absolutely playable also for non-collectors of games: all the necessary information is printed on the cards.
