Bottle Imp
A classic of the trick taking-games makes its return! Bottle Imp is back in a new edition, adding team modes and a 5 to 6 player variant to the usual 2 to 4 players configuration of the title.
In this game inspired by the eponym novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, all players around the table want to acquire the cursed bottle that can grant all wishes... However, they need to get rid of it before the end! Score points by trying to take as many tricks as possible, but make sure to not finish the game with the bottle, or the Bottle Imp will take your points!
This new edition features 54 foil effect cards and two bottles, with art by Maxime Morin (Faraway, Codex Naturalis, Next Station Tokyo, Next Station London...)
- Unique Twist on Classic Trick-Taking: Bottle Imp takes the familiar trick-taking genre (think games like Hearts or Spades) and adds a captivating twist – the descending "price" of the Bottle Imp creates a dynamic trump system that constantly shifts throughout the game.
- Strategic Depth and Clever Bidding: Players must carefully manipulate the price of the bottle while trying to win tricks. This offers a delightful mix of strategy, risk assessment, and a touch of bidding, making each hand exciting.
- Inspired by a Literary Classic: The game is based on the intriguing and morally complex short story "The Bottle Imp" by Robert Louis Stevenson. This adds a layer of thematic richness and makes the gameplay even more compelling.
- High Replayability: The constantly changing nature of trump, the potential for alliances, and the shifting value of cards ensure that no two games of Bottle Imp will ever be the same.
- Quick to Learn, Easy to Teach: While offering strategic depth, Bottle Imp has relatively simple rules. This makes it approachable for casual gamers yet satisfying enough for those who enjoy more tactical play.
