Hallo Leute!
Ich bin mittlerweile ein begeisterter Spieler von "Ohne Furcht und Adel" und habe mich dementsprechend mal nach anderen Spielen des Autors umgeschaut. Dabei bin ich auf "Castel" (Blue Games - Reihe von Descartes) gestoßen und wäre nun an ein paar Spielerfahrungen oder Rezensionen interessiert.
Weiss irgendwer was oder hat eine Webadresse, wo eine Rezension zu diesem Spiel verfügbar ist? Habe bei den üblichen Adressen nix gefunden.
Danke, Ingo

Castel - Wer kennt es? (Ergänzung)
Ich habe gesehen, dass es in diesem Forum jede Menge Diskussion zum Spiel gibt (verbuggt, falsch übersetzt etc).
Ist es aber letztendlich überarbeitet, spielbar und auch gut?
Cu, Ingo

Dear Ingo,
Of course, I can't give you an objective recension of my own games, but I can still help you a little.
Castel has two things in common with Ohne Furcht und Adel: the theme, and the high quality of the graphics.
For all the rest, it's a very different game. It's much lighter, more chaotic, more fun, but with less tactics and no bluff.
I like bith games very much, but I think that OFuA is more a gamers game, and Castel more a family or "beer and pretzel" game.
Furthermore, the german translation of Castel is awful. There's a long list of german erratas on my website. I hope that Eurogames will make a new translation, may be even exchange the old wrong cards, but it's not decided yet. If you can manage with english or french text, better try to get the english or french versions of the game, which are error free.
In France and USA, this game sells as well as OFuA, and seems to be very well received. Not the case in Germany, but I think the translation is the first reason.
As far as I know - I've not seen them - my two other games by Descartes, Democrazy (a chaotic made with K.H. Schmiel) and Corruption (a bluff game of the Razzia / Manitou / Republica Bananas family) are well translated.

Dear Bruno,
I´m really impressed! You´re fast! :-)
Thanks for this description of your games. It´s a good help for making the right decision.
First I thought, Castel is the right game for me, but now I´m more interested in Corruption.
Or should I buy all of the described games? ;-)
Thanks very much, cu, Ingo
