Ravensburger Carpe Diem Strategy Game - Seize the Day. Be Victorious

Despite the pictures, this is the 2nd Edition without the lines in the centre of the board. There are rule booklets in English, French and German, and the game itself is completely language-independent. I find the art and graphics preferable to the current (3rd) Edition, but you'll have to be the judge! This is a tile-laying abstract games. It's one of Feld's simplest but, true to form, has astounding depth in such a simple set of rules. The variable layout of the scoring cards means that every game is a unique puzzle.

this game is really good, it came with no damage and I am very happy with this purchase.

For me, the mechanics of the game are very good, but I have to agree with everyone who says the graphic design of the game is not good. I'd give it 5 stars for mechanics, 2 for visual appeal. All the components were present in my box.

An amazing game that has become a firm favourite in the household. Highly recommended.

Great game. Second efition printing without the star - the images are ambiguous.

much appreciated

Well received and game was enjoyed

I thought I was getting a new game, but what arrived was not sealed. Upon opening I found that all of the pieces had been punched out. This was obviously pre-owned. Not especially happy about that.

Un gioco german veramente bello, sa essere leggero e profondo al medesimo tempo. Nulla si lascia al caso ma bisogna pianificare ogni mossa con lauto anticipo. Consigliato.

Carpe Diem is one of the best games from one of the best designers in "hobby gaming", Stefan Feld. They aren't kid's games but CD is accessible and plays in an hour after you've played a game or two. I rank it in the top four or five of my 100+ game collection for 2, 3 or 4 players. I usually play 2, with my wife. This isn't a heavy game by "Euro" standards but if you like it, it will present near infinite "replayability", it's just as good after 30 plays as it was on the first. There's a bit of interaction in the tile selection and goal selection and there are many paths to victory for players to investigate. CD is not a deeply themed game, it's a player's game and I love it. Issues: there are shades of green to differentiate so it's best played at a well lit table. The set-up and take-down will take a couple minutes, too. CD featured a lot of inch square tiles to sort, either before or after the game. No big deal but it does take a couple minutes to set up and a game to two to really "catch on" to the flow and strategies. It's worth it.

Was schenkt man einem Familienmitglied, das gerne Spiele spielt? Genau: Carpe Diem! Der "Aufbau", im Sinne vom Zerlegen in alle Einzelteile, damit man das erste Mal spielen kann: ca. 20 Minuten. Man muss einiges herausdrücken, sortieren und einen große freien Tisch haben, damit alles bequem auf diesen passt. Spielerlebnis: Also, wir spielen sonst Siedler, Agricolar etc., und manchmal dauert es, bis man in ein Spiel so richtig hineinkommt. Hier gelang es uns sehr schnell. Die Spielregeln sind logisch erklärt für 2-4 Spieler und so war das Erlebnis relativ schnell hergestellt. Man spielt nach dem selben bzw. einem ähnlichen Prinzip alle Runden, d.h. nach der ersten Runde weiß man genau, wie das Spiel läuft und kann sich auf diverse Strategien konzentrieren. Fazit: Absolut top! Großer Spaß für nicht all zu viel Geld. Dauer ca. 1 Stunde - also wunderbar.

This is a wonderful and relatively fast game, and pretty straightforward. It is somewhat like Carcassonne in the way that you have to place tiles. It is also good for two players. Overall this a great game and my family loves it very much.

Gioco molto bello semplice nel regolamento ma molto profondo la grafica si poteva far meglio ma da un gioco di feld e poco importante
