Table feel

Moderate interaction with a good balance between direct and strategic confrontation. Players need to frequently pay attention to others' strategies and turns, but there is limited emphasis on cooperation.

Replay value

The game has a high degree of variability, impactful expansions, deep strategic possibilities, and adapts well to different player counts. It is moderately easy to learn, offering a fresh and engaging experience each time it is played.

Luck profile

Anno Domini: Sex & Crime has a moderate level of luck influence. Random elements have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. Players have some ability to mitigate randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game outcome is a balanced mix of luck and strategy, with neither element dominating. Overall, luck plays a significant role but is not the sole determinant of success.

Overview

Each Anno Domini set consists of 340 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. 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, so this ain’t no game for the nerds/geeks of this world, even they might think so, because it’s full of surprises and pure fun. Highly Recommended, because Anno Domini is a blast to play, is a very enjoyable social event and you even learn something from it. Unfortunately there is no English edition in existence, but this game could be a good way, to improve your already existing German skills or a very good reason, to learn the German language in the first place. The Set "Anno Domini - Sex & Crime" contains historical events related to more or less famous and sometimes hilarious crimes and some more adult themes, can be played as a stand alone or together with the other sets, which is the best way of playing it.
