Welcome to the forum, and to this meeting in particular. It is an honor to sit here with those who represent the big capital in the world through your megalomaniacal investment firms. Tonight in DAVOS, we are going to play out our activities for the coming 3 years. One by one we will be taking over the world's largest corporations in one of the 4 blocs; In America, Europe, China, or the Global South, infiltrate their governments and increase our influence through… other means. To make the world a better place... naturally! Corporations don't just generate income. You'll need to make sure to pass favorable bills in parliament. You need to invest your assets strategically, balancing between corporations and politics. And balancing between reaching goals directly, or investing for improving your power position in future years. Do you crave more? Advance your game via the back room and gain control of institutions. Play together in the collaborative variant, or become dissident and follow an anti-agenda, disrupting other players.
Davos supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Davos is 30–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Davos for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Davos has a complexity rating of 2.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
Davos belongs to these categories: Economic and Political. Its main mechanics are Take That, Set Collection, and Area Majority / Influence. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists Davos as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
