Convention Preview News: The Circle - New Title from a New Publisher
C4 / creative cell is a new German publisher, and the company’s first game will debut at Spiel 07. Here’s a brief description of The Circle, designed by Folker Jung:
| 1889, the Victorian Age, an age of change. The most advanced nations are fighting for total economic control. It is the perfect breeding ground for a secret society more dangerous than the Yakuza, more mysterious than the Illuminati — “The Circle”.
 Two to six players each control one secret agency trying to protect humanity against the Circle’s ultimate goal: complete global domination. Each round, players hire spies to uncover the Circle’s secrets, infiltrate its ranks, and capture its members. Sometimes the players must cooperate to reach their goals, but often they are competing against one another. At the end of the game, if you have placed the most spies within the Circle’s ranks, you will be able to destroy the secret society and win the game. But be careful, the Circle could defeat all of the players. |
The Circle will sell for €29.95, and the rulebook is in both English and German.

In reality that agency isn’t that secret, but they don’t make their goal (global domination) public. Making the federal bank in the USA a private enterprise was a really, really bad idea! Oh yeah, the game sounds like it could be an interesting spin on the majority mechanics. Posted by Surya Van Lierde on Oct 1, 2007 at 02:56 AM | #
