Crowd Pleasers
Almost everyone will enjoy using their memory and social skills and managing their resources, as they compete in a race to discover and collect. Here is a sample of the games from the Crowd Pleasers category.
The Games
Other games in the Crowd Pleasers category:
Light Hearted Games
Manage your resources carefully as you compete with up to 3 other players to move your pieces on the board or even eliminate your opponent’s pieces. With a bit of luck and skill, you can escape, collect the most, or be the first.
Family Games
Not quite so light hearted, as you need to be more mindful as there is no element of luck. All of these games can be played by up to 5 players and most allow you to choose cooperative or competitive play to collect the most or be the fastest.
Mind Games
Mostly, short, easy-to-learn games where you need to think carefully about how you move your pieces and manage your resources as you compete with often just one other player to gain the most or be the first. Here is a sample of games from the Mind Game category.
Strategy Games
More difficult to learn and play. Think a few moves ahead as you move your pieces and manage your resources. Compete to eliminate a number of other players or gain the most. Here is a sample of games from the Strategy Games category.
Brain Burners
Not difficult to learn but you need a high degree of strategy and careful, thoughtful movement of your pieces to eliminate your opponent’s pieces or knock them out of the game. Avaiable in the Collector's Edition only.
Reviews
I have spoken before – and waxed poetically – of how important it is for youth to get into board games and make their own. Ancient World Multi Game System is absolutely brilliant....for this. A smashing collection of abstract games from single-player to multiplayer, competitive to cooperative, with a surprising level of game depth and various speeds. It’s all here. Now add in the ability and ease to make your own games and you have something worth a great deal. This is the hidden true value of the game system and one that players can only really appreciate if they have it all. Read More
Das Multi Game System bietet alles, was das Herz de Liebhabers abstrakter Denkspiele beghrt. Kleinere Appetit-happen ebenso wie geistige Vollwertkost, durchweg garrinert mit einer originellen Note.....Geradezu elektrisierend der Seitenwechsler SUMMONS....Unwiderstehlichen Erkundungsreiz verströmt Dark Death.....Unbedingt erwähnenswert sind noch KUSH und Silk Road...Eine Schachvariante darf natürlich nicht fehlen..
