Schinderhannes: Julchen, the first expansion for the 2009 board game Schinderhannes, is meant for two-players only, with the players going head-to-head to achieve their personal goals first. More specifically, four crimes have to be committed on specified locations by the end of the game, with each player having two crimes which he has to locate. While the game material is language independent – other than the city-names, which are not translatable – the first edition rulebook will be in German only. Schinderhannes: Julchen is limited to an edition of 250 copies.
Schinderhannes: Julchen supports 2 players 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.
The catalogue lists Schinderhannes: Julchen 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.
