Barbarian Vince is a board game released in 2012 for 1 player. It was designed by Rocco Privetera and its main mechanics are Hand Management and Solo / Solitaire Game.
BARBARIAN VINCE is a solitaire card game using a deck of 52 cards. It is a Print-And-Play game. In it, you play Vincent the Barbarian, and you adventure through a magical land. The game uses the cards for inventory, maps, and encounters. The unique nature of the game play means its possible to play the entire game with very minimal space (on a plane or passenger in a car) as the player needs to maintain only two hands of cards and the game deck.
Barbarian Vince supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
Barbarian Vince has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
