Deadly Dowagers - Game, 2-6 players

Really good and fun game!

This was a fun game that our whole family liked. It doesn't take too long to play and the fact that you are playing some of the game simultaneously means you don't have to wait forever for your turn and the drafting of the cards makes you feel like you have more choices than if you were just dealt a hand. This made it attractive to those or our family that don't like the longer games like Terraforming Mars, Wingspan, Castles of Burgandy, etc., that we like to play. Also is nice to play in between some longer ones. It was easy to learn and the artwork is nice.

Kill your husbands to get to the Duke, but don't trash your reputation in the process, or be will not marry you. Love this game!

This game lets you reenact the life of your great grandmothers. This game really knows what it means to be an old fashioned woman. You get to implement strategy and learn how to run a household. You get to give back to the community with charity. Overall a great game.

My family - ages 12-adult - loves games. Deadly Dowagers holds up well in our collection. We are long-time fans of games like Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Feast for Odin, Puerto Rico, etc. Deadly Dowagers is not as long as some we enjoy (like Through the Ages, which takes ages to play), and this is a good thing.The rules are clear, the art is lovely and in character with the plot, the game pieces feel nice, and the historical backstory of the situation of the characters in the game is wryly funny. ("Except that you will inherit your fortune. We cannot even earn ours." ... "Perhaps Margaret is right. Piracy is our only option.")Recommended for ages 12+ because younger kids may not get the joke. (Use of deadly implements to speed your inheritance upon the demise of your husband is a bad idea, not just because of the infamy that accrues to you thereby.)Additionally recommended that reassurance be offered to any husbands present that their wives are not, in fact, dreaming of an inheritance.

great! tnx a lot
