Intrigue

This pure negotiation game pits the players as Renaissance era families that are engaging in rampant nepotism. Players are seeking positions in the other families' businesses, and to further that pursuit players offer bribes. However, once accepting a bribe, the 'bought' player is under absolutely no obligation to honor the highest briber or any other verbal deal. In a word, this game is vicious.

About the game

What is Intrigue

The new AMIGO edition came out in 2005.

The main difference between the F.X. Schmid and the AMIGO versions are that the the F.X. Schmid version uses five houses/buildings per player, with values of 1,2,3,5, and 10, but the AMIGO version uses four buildings/houses per player, with values of 1,3,6, and 10. Accordingly, the F.X. Schmid version has five professions - knight, merchant, lawyer, writer, and clergy - but the AMIGO version retains only clergy and writer, and adds chemist and doctor.

EL MAYOR JUEGO DE PUTEO. Cuidado! No agitar antes de usar. No recomendado para un grupo donde no se conozcan todos bien y haya alguien que se pique con facilidad. Es el juego más maquiavélico y de traiciones existente, avisados quedais! ;)
