Настолна игра Gang of Four - Семейна

Gang of Four е вълнуваща игра на хитрост, стратегия и сила. Предпоставката на играта е проста - бъдете първият, който се освободи от всичките си карти и се издигне до върховната власт. Но внимавайте - една стратегическа грешка може да ви изправи пред борба за оцеляване.

Играта с карти „Gang of Four“ е създадена по време на сътресенията на Културната революция. Изобретателят на играта, Lee Yih, иска да предаде мистерията, интригата и интензивната борба за власт, които олицетворяват не само най-новата политическа история на Китай, но и неговото минало. Подобно на политическата „Банда на четиримата“, играта олицетворява безкрайната битка за надмощие, в която слабите загиват, а силните доминират. Добрите играчи, както и добрите политици, трябва да проявяват хитрост, гъвкавост и безпощадност.

Информация от издателя:

Gang of Four is an exciting game of Cunning, Strategy and Power. The game's premise is simple - be the first to rid yourself of all your cards and ascend to supreme power. But beware - a strategic misstep may find you in a struggle to survive.

The Gang of Four card game was first conceived during the upheaval of the Cultural Revolution. The game's inventor, Lee Yih, wanted to convey the mystery, intrigue and intense struggle for power that embodied not only China's recent political history - but also its past. Like the political Gang of Four, the game embodies a never-ending battle for supremacy - where the weak perish and the strong dominate. Good players, like good politicians, must show cunning, flexibility and ruthlessness.

Gang of Four features a special 64-card deck, illustrated using a traditional Chinese theme, plus 2 rules summary cards to make learning and playing the game easier, a full-color rules booklet, scorepad and a Days of Wonder Web-Card, providing you with access to Gang of Four Online at www.gangoffour.com.

All the cards are dealt to the players. The player who was dealt the multi-colored "1" card starts the hand and must use this card on the first play. The players proceed taking turns clockwise and then counterclockwise on subsequent hands. On one's turn one must play the same number of cards but a higher ranked set than the previous player. A player may play more cards if those cards are four or more of a kind. A round continues until all players pass because they can not or choose not to play cards. All cards played are discarded and the winner of the previous round leads. The hand continues until one player has used all the cards in his or her hand. The other players are penalized points on an escalating scale according to the number of cards in their hands. The game is over when one player has scored one hundred and the player with the lowest score wins.
