Foromtale

City of Masks er et økonomisk brætspil der fokuserer på spiller interaktion. Du har muligheden for at skabe et handelsimperium gennem handel og aftaler med de andre spillere – men faren for at blive svindlet eller forrådt er altid tilstede.

Spillet er et forsøg på at skabe et eurogame baseret udelukkende på spiller interaktion. Dette sker gennem to mekanikker – handel og prisoner’s dilemma.

En tur i City of Masks er opdelt i to hovedfaser – en dagfase der bruges til at investere og udvide dit økonomiske imperium. Derefter er der en natfase hvor risikoen skal gennemtænkes og direkte forræderi er muligt.

Det gælder i sidste ende om at få mest prestige, noget der til tider kommer i vejen for din økonomiske vækst.

Presentation

City of masks is an attempt to make a eurogame based on player interaction. This is done through two core mechanics. Trade and Prisoner's dilemma - both have their own risks and rewards.

A turn in City of Masks is divided into a day phase and a night phase – both further subdivided. The dayphase is where investments are made, and you expand your economic empire. The night phase is a time for backroom dealings and backstabbing. It’s where the high risk, high reward deals and betrayals take place.
