Introduction: In Crystal Palace, each player represents a nation at the first World Fair of 1851 in London. To make sure that your country truly attracts everyone's attention, you are going to showcase spectacular inventions and recruit the brightest, most influential minds of your times: all to promote your homeland. Whether in the sacred halls of Westminster or in the dark corners of the docks, you are pulling the strings everywhere, to prepare for the great event in the best possible way. And it could all be so easy - if your government had provided you with unlimited means. As it is, you are constantly torn between modest investments and excessive loans. |
Features: In Crystal Palace, players take on the role of a nation at the time of the first World Fair in London (1851), trying to create a buzz with spectacular inventions and the support of famous and powerful people. Crystal Palace is a dice-placement game in which the players themselves determine the stats of their dice at the beginning of each round. The higher the number, the better - but it comes at a price. In the course of the game, dice are placed on eight action locations (Patent Office, Reform Club, London Times, Port of London, Waterloo Station, British Museum, Bank of England, Westminster) in a competition for the best resources, patents, and brains. In a world of slightly weird inventions, you will meet people like Phileas Fogg, Levi Strauss and Amelia Edwards, and invent gadgets such as the Thinking machine, the Beer glass counter or the Climate changer.
