JESS: Castellers by Reiner Knizia

Devir will publish Castellers, an all brand new game by Reiner Knizia.

The game is about a tradition from Catalonia: the castellers. They are people making living castles using their own bodies. There are competitions and exhibitions about to build the tallest or biggest structures. Maybe it is better to see this video to understand:

(There are many videos about castellers on youtube)

It’s a game with a truly Spanish thematic :-)

In the Reiner Knizia‘s game, 66 wooden castellers are used to go high and high (The game could remind Penguin by Reiner Knizia, but both games have nothing to do and they are totally diferent). It is ilustrated by Bié, made by Games & Co. and published by Devir in June 2008. It will have rules in four languages, including English.
