About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a carriage ride full of bluffing and deduction in "Die Kutschfahrt zur Teufelsburg"! This card game, which can bring together 3 to 10 friends, puts you on a mission to find three mysterious items. The catch? You don't know who's on your side or who's trying to trick you. Each turn is a mix of strategy and pure audacity: you can try to trade information (or misinformation!) with other players, start a duel to prove who's right, or simply pass your turn. If a trade is rejected, your turn ends right there, so choose your approaches wisely!
Duels are the highlight, where everyone declares support for the attacker or defender, but beware, abstaining is an option, and not everyone who seems to be on your side truly is. Victory comes by declaring your team and who possesses the items, but even a single mistake means defeat. It's a fast-paced game, with matches lasting around 30 minutes, ideal for large groups who enjoy interacting, suspecting, and trying to unravel each other's mysteries. The language dependency is moderate, so having a translated guide can greatly help the group get into the spirit of the journey.
"Die Kutschfahrt zur Teufelsburg" is perfect for those who enjoy games with a lot of social interaction, where conversation and cunning run wild. Don't expect a game of deep strategy, but rather a light and fun experience, where the ability to read others and play innocent is as important as the cards in your hand. It's a great choice to liven up the evening with friends, especially if you enjoy a good bluffing and deduction game with a touch of negotiation.
