Overview
What ABG knows about this game
Description from the publisher: In Barbaria, you become mighty barbarians and set out searching for dangerous and great adventures. Wrestle monsters and warlocks, hunt for treasures, look for assistance, and collect ancient runes, which will give you the victory. Game author Peter Rustemeyer is an archeologist from Germany who has loved barbarians and everything about them from childhood. He has developed not only the mechanisms of Barbari but he's hand-painted spicy watercolor illustrations, too, which will definitely be a standalone topic for discussion during the game session. The rules are extremely simple and handled for five minutes. You have to get the particular number by the specified color dice to win the enemy. Fail? Don't worry! Use your trophies from the previous battles so that you can throw the dice again or set the needed number. Don't have any trophies? Negotiate with your friends. That didn't work? Well, you're in trouble — but scars are ornaments for every warrior, right?
