Mein Traumhaus (Polish original title: Domek ) is a board and card game by the Polish game designer Klemens Kalicki . The game is designed for two to four players, ages eight and up, and was published by the Polish publisher Rebel in 2016 and subsequently in numerous other languages. The first German-language edition was published by Pegasus Spiele for the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 . In the same year, the game was recognized as a “game hit for families” as part of the Austrian game award game of games, as well as the Dutch game award. Thematically, Mein Traumhaus is about furnishing a house in such a way that it earns a maximum number of points.

Theme and equipment

The players equip the shell of the house with various types of rooms and decorative objects as well as a roof covering, which are included in the evaluation. The winner is the player who gets the maximum number of points for his house in the evaluation.

The game material consists of the game instructions

  • a game board for the card display, which is put together from two parts,
  • four house boards for the other players,
  • 10 decoration tiles,
  • a starting player marker in the shape of a house,
  • a starting player card,
  • 60 room cards,
  • 48 special and roof cards,
  • a scoring block and
  • four game overview cards.

Style of play

Before the start of the game, the card tray is set up in the middle of the playing field and each player receives a house tableau and an overview card with the short rules, the decorative tiles are placed next to the card display. Then the special cards are shuffled and placed face down as a stack on the upper storage space of the card display, the room cards are shuffled and placed face down on the lower space. The starting player card is placed on the space provided in the display, next to it the first four special cards are revealed. Below this row, the first five room cards are revealed. Finally, a starting player is determined who receives the starting player marker.

The game is played in clockwise order, starting with the starting player, and continues for 12 rounds, after which the stacks of cards are used up. The active player chooses a column in the display and takes both cards. If he chooses the first column, he receives the starting player card and becomes the starting player in the next round. In all other columns he always receives a special card and a room card, which he then uses accordingly.

The player must insert or discard the room card in his home board. A room card may never be used above an empty room, and basement rooms may only be placed on the two lower rooms. The player can expand by further cards of the same room type, whereby this can only happen on one floor. The cards also indicate a maximum size for the rooms (1, 2 or 3), which must not be exceeded. Some special room cards give special points for scoring if they are installed next to another room type (furnishing bonuses). If a player cannot place the room card, he must place it face down on an empty room in his house; These cards count as individual rooms and are worthless in the subsequent scoring, unless the player has the special “Architect” card. Depending on the type, the special cards must be used immediately or may be kept for a later date. Special cards that must be used immediately are the decoration cards and the roof cards. If a player takes a decoration card, he places the corresponding object in the corresponding room type and thus completes the possible expansion of a room. Only one decoration tile may be placed in each room. If the player takes a roof card, he must place it face down on the roof card field. Tool and helper cards can be used for different purposes according to their description or give bonus points in the final scoring.

At the end of the round, the starting player card is put back and the card display is refilled again. The game ends after 12 rounds, when the two stacks of cards are used up, then the scoring follows.

Rating

The scoring takes place along the scoring block, first rooms and then decorations, furnishing bonuses and roof cards are scored:

  • The number of points for the rooms results from the points indicated on the cards for different room sizes as well as possible additional points for neighboring rooms.
  • The points for the decorative elements result from the printed values. on the corresponding tiles.
  • Setup bonuses are available for certain room arrangements. The player receives 3 additional if there is at least one bathroom on each of the two upper floors or if there is at least one bedroom, one bathroom and one kitchen in the house.
  • The roof scoring results from the existing roof cards. The players choose the four cards from the face-down roof pile that are to form the roof. If all 4 roof cards have the same color, they get 8 points. If the roof is complete but not uniform, you get 3 points. In addition, if you have a full roof, you will receive a bonus point for each roof window. If the roof consists of less than four cards, it is incomplete and is not scored.

The winner of the game is the player who gets the most points in the end. In the event of a tie, the player whose room cards contain the most children (including individual arms and legs) wins.
