About the game
from English rules translation: CONTENTS: 7 Market segments 110 Playing cards 5 Dice 1 Set of rules 96 Market share stones in 6 colours 13 Black marker stones GAME PRINCIPLE: Each player heads a corporation and tries to gain as large a share of the market as possible in different markets, and thus tries to earn as much profit as possible. The players use the dice to buy into markets, take away market shares from their competitors, influence the prices in the market segments and destroy entire markets in order to harm the competition. GAME OBJECTIVE: The players try to buy into profitable markets and raise the prices there, while decreasing the prices in those markets where they are not present. Every market share that a player owns earns him money. The player who first earns 200 Euros wins the game.
Questions and answers
Konzern supports 3–6 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 Konzern is 90 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 Konzern for ages 10 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.
Konzern has a complexity rating of 2.0 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.
