Winner of the prestigious 'Game of the Year' in 2006, 'Thurn and
Taxis' will appeal to all types of games players.
In 1490, Kaiser Maximilian
I awarded Franz von Taxis the contract to deliver mail between the Kaiser’s
residences in Innsbruck and Brussels.
With the introduction of postal carriages in the middle of the 17th century,
members of the family were raised to Count status and given the hereditary
title of Postmaster General. The game begins at this point in history.
Can you emulate the achievements of this family and build a successful
postal network? Can you connect the right cities to create an effective
network and not lose sight of the need to acquire new carriages when they
are needed? Plan your moves carefully and watch your opponents’ moves
carefully, so you are prepared to respond to them.
The game plays differently every time, and will present a new set of
challenges each time you play it.
