Ausgerechnet Buxtehude

Place German towns on an imaginary map and bluff your way past anyone who knows better.

Is Buxtehude east or west of Hamburg? You place town cards onto a growing geographic layout, and you do not have to be right, you only have to be believed. Anyone can challenge a placement, and then someone is going to be embarrassed.

The map grows card by card on the tableAny placement can be challengedYou learn German geography whether you meant to or not

Who it's for

Groups in German-speaking regions who like trivia with a bluffing layer. Best at four.

Not for you if…

Nobody at the table knows German geography, which flattens the bluffing into guesswork. Also out of print and hard to source.

Vibe's take

Chatty and needling, with the best moments coming when a confident bluff gets called.
