Dang in Eric! You drew me in like a moth to a flame. First you mention nuclear winter and then zombies. For a moment there I though Knizia was doing a post apocalyptic zombie game. Of course, with the right pasting almost any game can be a zombie game.

"Of course, with the right pasting almost any game can be a zombie game.”
And if it’s designed by Reiner, it will probably be “the greatest game ever designed” :D

Interesting that Reiner’s “greatest game” is actually just multi player Lost Cites (at least based on what he says in the video). The board also appears to be nothing more than for keeping score; so it’s just a card game with lots of bits.

It’s a shame, but as Patrick Korner said, unless he goes back to designing heavier games, the well has run dry.

I do have the feeling that while the gameplay is the same as with Lost Cities, the scoring works differently

Oh yeah, and him saying that’s his greatest game, he does that with all his games, so they’re all the greatest game ever :)

Perhaps it’s not as good an advertisement, but I would rather adopt Frank Lloyd Wright’s answer to the question, “What is your greatest [work]?”:

“My NEXT one.”

As far as Keltis, I beleive that moving the markers on the board determines the value of the cards you’ve played, and there are also bonus tokens (similar to Knizia’s Carcassonne 2-player game) that you receive if you’re the first person to move to that space.
