Game of Games 2013: "Games Hit for Families"

Come on the devil is a family game by Tanja and Sara Engel (mother and daughter), which was published in February 2013 by Zoch Verlag in Munich . The game for 2–6 people aged 10 and over lasts around 40 minutes.

Prizes and awards

The game received the “ Game of Games ” award in 2013 in the “Games Hit for Families” category.

Theme and equipment

The playing field is a hellfire graphic with a funny devil, in the middle of which the "coal chips" are hidden. Around the edge of the game board, the scoring bar runs from 0 to 1600 points.

It is important to outsmart the devil and “steal” coal without a devil's log appearing. In addition to the “Can't stop”, a betting mechanism determines the game.

  • 48 pieces of charcoal made of wood of different values: 9 × 10, 9 × 20, 9 × 25, 7 × 50, 3 × 75, 2 × 100 and 9 × devil;
  • Betting chips: 1 × 100, 1 × 50, 2 × 20, 1 × 10;
  • 6 wooden pawns in various colors: blue, red, green, yellow, white and violet.

Game flow

Each game round contains four activities. First, a "devil's bet" is gambled. To do this, everyone takes any number of their betting chips in their hands. After all of them have been revealed at the same time, the chips remain in front of the players. The bets relate to the total value of coal that the winner of the round will get.

Next everyone in turn fetches “coals” from the fire. It is his turn to reveal pieces of coal and add up their values ​​until he voluntarily ends his turn. If he reveals a devil, all coal that has been collected up to then from this round is lost. A comparison is made at the end of the lap. Whoever has won the highest sum is the lap champion.

If your bet is below the value of the round champion, your stake will be paid out by the banker. If you gambled too high, you lose your stake. The player with the highest successful bet even gets double the stake for it. There are also bonuses for the player with the most coal pieces and the player with the highest amount of coal. All count their subtotal and move their own pawn to the corresponding space on the scoring track.

Whoever is furthest behind by himself makes a “pact with the devil” in the next round and receives betting chips worth 50 from the unlucky person for each devil revealed. The remaining coal chips are moved together on the game board. As soon as you only fill the "middle of the furnace", the previously uncovered charcoal chips are brought back into the game and mixed in again face down.

The end of the game is reached as soon as another player has chips with a value of “1600 or more”. If there are several at the same time, the winner will be who has achieved the highest total number.

target group

The game is suitable for party groups, children's birthdays and families with children aged 9 and over who like relatively simple games of chance and gambling.

Criticism

The equipment with wooden game material that feels good in the hand is generally praised. It is criticized that the wood grain of the charcoal backs is partly recognizable. The Pöppelkiste review criticizes the lack of screens to protect and keep track of one's own betting chips.

It is also noted that it only “really gets going” when there are four or more people and “that in some constellations it can take a little too long for a game of chance”.
