Cassiopeia is a gem of a card game when it comes to picking roles and optimizing moves. Grab it as soon as it gets published; you will not regret it.

I enjoyed Cassiopeia quite a bit. It made me want to play again, with the additional scientists so I could see their powers.

To us, Cassiopeia played like an open-handed version of Citadels, with a little more complexity due to the varying resources and more flexible player order.

Ähnlich wie schon Bronze ist Kassiopeia nur ein kleiner Pluto, wenn es um den Regelumfang geht, wird dann aber bei drei oder vier Spielern beim taktischen Gewicht zum Jupiter.

Der Autor macht hier aus wenig Regeln und Material viel Variabilität und Spieltiefe -definitiv ein Zeichen hoher Eleganz.

Kassiopeiaist mehr ein Kennerspiel als etwas für den Kindergeburtstag, es ist taktisch und kein Glücksspiel.

Italian Review by I Giochi del Topo — Reading Time: 5 min.

“Cassiopeia” non può essere considerato un gioco difficile, ma bisognoso di qualche turno di assimilazione e quindi anche di un giocatore medio che avrà l’interesse ad entrare nel piacevole sistema che il gioco offre.
