Wiener Walzer

Dancing with the lady in red

Viennese Waltzes in Vienna – as a guest you want to sample the best delicacies from the buffet and dance with the highest-ranking guests at the ball.

The board – depending on the number of players you use a different area of the board – is filled with open-faced buffet tiles and open-faced neutral guests. Each player has twelve guests of one color = nationality; you shuffle your set and stack it face-down. In your turn, you take the top tile of your guests and place it on any square on the board still without a guest and take the buffet tile from this square. When then a guest is surrounded on all sides by other guests or the edge of the board, a dance can happen. The enclosed guest dances with an adjacent guest of the opposite sex, regardless of color / nationality. You add the values of both guests and both players score as many points When the guest must dance with a guest of the same color or of neutral color, the owner receives the points only once. After the scoring the two guests involved in the dance are turned over. It is possible that another dance can happen. When all guests have been played, you score points for complete sets of buffet dishes, if a dish is pictured more than once on a tile, it counts as often. Then you win with most points.

Tasty like caviar, flows like champagne – Wiener Walzer is as much fun as dancing. Mechanisms and rules are basically simple, but the game plays rather tactically and demanding in relation to wanted and unwanted interaction, you will not always manage to dance with the partner of your choice or eat a shrimp canape to complete a set!
