    Ik
    Lehrjung bi Merkur
    An de Fleischtresen ingedeelt
    Kummt en Fro bi mi to bestellen
    Hoor all ut de Färn, dat se en Düütsche is

    “Ja hallo guten Tag, ich hätte gerne ein Fleischkäsebrötchen, geht das?”

    Wat hett se dor seggt?
    Hier in uns Land un mit uns Akzent heet dat Leberkassemmel

    “Und bitte nicht zu dick, ja, das schmeckt dann nicht mehr so gut wenn das so dick ist”

    Min Gesicht wenn
    Disse Bestellen sehn wi as Kriegsmisdoon an
    Sett dat Messer an, üm to snieden

    “Nein, das ist mir schon zu dick. Maximal die hälfte”

    Gohd Fru, will Se denn dör de Scheev hen kieken könen?
    Hoor, wo se leise vor sik hen knurrt:

    “Dass diese Österreicher auch immer so dicke Fleischkäsescheiben haben wollen…”

    Verdammt Fro
    Schneid ehr en 1 cm dicke Scheev af

    “So viel dazu, dass dieser Laden der beste hier sein soll”

    Hett mi noog
    Smitt ehr de Scheev mit voller Kraft vör’t Gesicht
    Chef hett dat sehn
    Kann sik vör Lachen nich mehr faten
    Krieg trotzdem en Disziplinstraaf

    Es ist verdammt hart, der beste zu sein

    The only thing in Arboretun’s scoring that might be difficult at first is that you need to have the most points for a tree type in hand in order to score that tree type at all. And at the same time you need to have played some cards of this tree type, so you actually have something to score ;)

    The details of scoring can be (and probably should be) shown in a player aid:

    • “8” in hand counts as 0 if the other player has the “1”
    • 1 point for each card in a path (2 if it’s all the same color and at least 4 cards long)
    • +1 point if the path starts with the “1”
    • +1 point if the path ends with the “8”

    My goal is to have a game that I can carry around with me, walk up to people I meet in public, and ask them to play.

    Is it just about portability or do you also need a small playing area?

    I want the game to be strategic with minimal luck but simple enough that a first time player could reasonably win against someone experienced.

    Those goals are at odds. If there’s minimal luck, there’s little room for the new player to win in a strategic game.

    That being said:

    • Azul can be quite portable (if you dump the box), but needs some playing space. It’s vicious with two players, the more experienced player will usually win, but the rules are simple enough for a first time player to at least understand what happens.
    • Onitama is chess-like, with simple rules and some randomization that prevents the need to memorize start sequences and the like.
    • Arboretum is a tight battle with two players. You constantly need to worry which cards to play in order to gain points, which cards to keep in order to even be eligible for scoring and which useless cards not to drop, because they might be useful for your opponent.
    • Kahuna is a bit older, with simple rules but some strategy.
    • The Fox in the Forest is a two player trick taking game I found rather enjoyable (and I don’t even like trick taking games).
