July 2011 | If you know the other games by Pegasus you might be in for a double surprise – 'Strasbourg' is neither a fantasy game nor a historical roleplaying game (which could have been expected) but a real Euro with an ingenious bidding mechanic. Because all players decide for themselves how many bidding cards they draw and use each round each bidding round turns into an exciting battle for key acquisitions. As it is already fiendishly difficult to earn money in the game one could even call it a “dearth game”, because one has to use the limited resources (bidding cards, money) to utmost effect. A challenge for pro gamers and lots of fun! If Pegasus has intended to reach a completely new market for their games – the critical Euro gamer – they have been very successful indeed! |
