A Herceg Nyer! is a board game released in 2022 for 1–5 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Győri Zoltán Gábor and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game.
A running race is organized in the royal court, in which the prince also takes part. However, he's not very clever and he can't even lose... The king's heart would break if his only little boy didn't win, so the other participants join forces to help the clumsy heir to the throne win. A truly unique and funny cooperative card game in which the goal of the players is to have the prince's card at the front by the end of the game. It may seem simple, but you really have to pay attention to which player is playing which card. It is an excellent opportunity for children to learn the basics of algorithm construction. During the game, we first place the participants of the running race in the specified places - princess, cook, knight, prince. Each player will receive a certain amount of program cards, which can be played to move characters in a certain direction. Caution! If we move with any character by running off the field from one of the sides, the game ends immediately and unfortunately we lost! This makes the game very exciting. The game can also be played with difficulty - the played program cards must be turned face down so that only the last played card is visible. With this, the memory can also be woven into the game. The game also comes with additional cards that can be used to add extra characters to the running race. The game can be won if the prince is first after the cards have been played, otherwise unfortunately the players have lost the game.
