Welcome to Crime City,

a city where crime lurks around every corner. Disatrous secrets, devious robberies and coldblooded murders are the order of the day here. The local police are no longer able to control the situation. Therefore, the work of clever investigators is required. MicroMacro - Crime City is a cooperative detective game. Together, the players solve 16 tricky criminal cases by determining motives, finding evidence and convicting the perpetrators. An attentive eye is just as important as a deductive talent in order to unravel everything riddle on the 75 x 110 cm large game board. A magnifying glass is included in the game to help with finding every detail.

Heated negotiations are the name of the game in Kyoto

By Johanna Sadkovich, North American Sales and Marketing Executive - Pegasus Spiele

G

erman board game publisher Deep Print Games is excited to announce its latest release for the North American market, Kyoto!

Thematically centered around the 1997 Climate Change Conference in Japan, the world is depending on international leaders to take decisive action to prevent environmental collapse.

In this semi-cooperative family game by Sabine Harrer and Johannes Krenner, you are the decision makers! Players must scramble to quickly review and approve critical efforts aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change, convincing fellow campaigners to reach shared reduction goals while preserving as much of their own country’s wealth as possible.

Kyoto is played in a series of 90 second negotiation rounds, each broken into 3 phases. The first phase allows the round’s current speaker to collect money from the shared environmental fund and add it to their own coffers, as well as taking back certain cards still on the table from previous negotiation rounds.

The second and third phases see players examining various studies, proposing shared reduction and funding goals, and offering their own contributions to the cause. Visible impacts of each study are shared, but only the speaker will know of

the study’s hidden impacts, a recipe for underhanded dealings in favor of powerful interests lurking in the shadows.

During the game‘s Contribution Phase, countries may also bribe each other to rescind offers that carry undesirable effects, or to propose something else that is more favorable. After the 90 seconds are up, the elected speaker evaluates whether or not the negotiations were successful. If the necessary reduction and funding goals were met, the negotiation round was a success and players may move on to addressing the next concern. However, if any goals were not met the speaker must resolve the study’s impacts, potentially resulting in worsening air pollution, rising global temperatures, and the extinction of entire species. If any type of environmental damage reaches critical levels before the study deck runs out, the conference will founder, and the leading country will shoulder the blame for

their failure to act. Can the world’s most powerful nations succeed in bringing Earth back from the brink, or will money and private interests win over all?

Kyoto features striking artwork by illustrator Christian Opperer who perfectly captures the game’s dilemma in a satirical manner. Take a deeper look into one of the most burning issues of our time, and discover rivalry, fun, and excitement in this entertaining real-time competition for the future of our planet!

Kyoto is designed for 3-6 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 30-45 minutes.

It will be available in the US and Canada in Q1 of this year. Visit www.pegasusweb.com or check with your distributor for details.
