Familienbande

About this board game

Familienbande is a fast, funny board game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of around 20 minutes and a recommended age of 8 and up. Designed by Leo Colovini, it focuses on the dynastic succession of royal families.

In this humorously illustrated game, royal families grow through engagements and births. Players choose brides and welcome heirs, while distinctive family traits become an important part of the game. Large noses, red hair, cauliflower ears, and other unmistakable features appear on the cards.

These traits are not merely decorative. They must be used to score points and combined as players develop their royal dynasties. The result is a lighthearted family-building game in which unusual characteristics can have valuable consequences.
