Made with younger players in mind, Quacks & Co. is a new, simplified version of the popular board game The Quacks of Quedlinburg. Is there enough of an audience for this, though? Read keithlaw's review.
has been a hit since the press-your-luck game first came out in 2018, winning the Spiel des Jahres and continuing to grow in popularity, to the point where friends of mine who don’t know many board games have asked me recently if this would be good to play with their kids. It does have one downside for playing with younger kids: pressing your luck means that you can bust, and in this game, busting means losing most of your progress on that turn.
After you’ve drawn three dream weeds, you get to use all the rubies you’ve accumulated to buy more tokens from the box. Tokens come with values 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8, and they come in seven colors; they cost from 1 to 5 rubies, and you can buy multiple tokens on a turn, but they must all be different colors. Once you’ve completed buying, you put all tokens—the ones you bought, the weeds you drew, any tokens you’ve drawn and played since the last buy—back in the bag.
The 8-value tokens have no action associated with them, but they let you move forward eight spaces. The green tokens allow you to put any token you’ve played back in the bag immediately, so you can see how you could use that to get your value 8 token back in the bag and use it more often. There are four colors in the base game plus the 8-value tokens, and two more colors you can add, optionally, to increase the complexity of the game.to suit your players’ ages and skill levels.
