Beschreibung
A regular Anno Domini set consists of 336 cards, with a description of a historical event on one side of the card, and the year (and sometimes specific date) in which it happened on the other.
This small expansion set Anno Domini - Probespiel was a free giveaway by the publisher. It only contains about 8-15 event cards without a common theme. Since this is not enough for a real game, it only comes with a brief summary of the gameplay.
Each player receives nine of these cards (or less, if you want the game to be shorter), and may only look at the descriptions. Players then put in turn a card on the table, *trying* to put theirs in chronological order. A player may, instead of adding a card, claim that the order in which the cards were put is incorrect. In this case all cards are turned over and the correct years revealed.
If the order was correct then the doubting player receives two cards and skips a turn. If the order was incorrect then the previous player, who accepted the order as correct, receives three cards. The first player that gets rid of all the cards wins.
Bluffing is as least as important as knowledge in this game. Most events are rather obscure or are hard to date exactly. Anno Domini is a blast to play, it is a very enjoyable social event and you even learn something from it.
Part of the Anno Domini series
Contained as a free bonus in this German version of Such a Thing?, this German version of Zooloretto and this German version of Airlines Europe.
