Review: Mammut (Queen)
Posted by James (admin) on 15th November 2011
Not be confused with Krok Nik Douil’s game also called Mammut, this Mammut is a game by Queen Games. Players try to gather tiles which all score in different ways. This sounds very normal but the way the tiles are gathered is a very interesting mechanic delivering a funny and humorously evil game.
The game is played over several rounds – scoring occurs after each round and the player with the most victory points (VPs) wins. Each round 31 double-sided tiles are mixed up in a bag and then dumped onto the table and spread out. The tiles show fur, claws, axes, meat, fire and animals. Some tiles have question marks on them and these will only get turned over to reveal their actual value when scoring starts.
On your turn, you can either (a) take some (or all) of the tiles in the centre (if any remain), or (b) you can take all of another player’s tiles but you must put one of them back in the middle. Read the rest of this entry »
