Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 2 out of 10

    Same problem as Mage Knight. Everybody wanders off doing their stuff and what the other players are doing is mostly completely unimportant and unrelated to what I am doing. So essentially it is a solo game with added down time waiting for other players taking their turn.

  2. 7 out of 10

    Perhaps a few too many mechanics happening in the game, but overall I had a great time playing. I like walking around and gaining the sticks. So much to do and fun choices!

  3. 4 out of 10

    FIRST IMPRESSION: One rule in the game really destroys the game for me and I would definitely house rule it to be 1-2 gold wagering at most. There is a mandatory gambling game where the person visiting the hotel must force a gambling game that everyone participates in and sets a value from 1-5 gold. In a game where gold can be quite challenging to acquire, particularly if you roll poorly, that can lead to quite nasty consequences such as losing an action card (and thus a turn). The game is otherwise enjoyable enough although the price tag is way too high for what the game brings to the table - we joked how it was a modern day dungeon dive except we were walking around experiencing life. It was also annoying how so many of the special characters were not that special. In the end, I was glad to have played but don't have much interest in playing again.

Auf der Walz is a game that has the "journeyman years" as the topic. This is a tradition that dates back to medieval times and is still alive in German-speaking countries. A craftsman has to be "Auf der Walz" (roughly translated as "on the road") for three years and one day without ever getting closer than fifty kilometers to home. The young journeyman wears a traditional dress: flared pants, waistcoat, jacket, black hat (as a symbol for freedom), the "Stenz" (traditional curled hiking pole), and the "Charlottenburger" (coarse cloth to wrap up the belongings). They work (for a little bit of money but also for board and lodge) for people on their journey.

Auf der Walz is a "travel game" with resource management that takes place in the second half of the 19th century. Like life on the Walz, it includes uncertainty and random elements. Each player earns points at the end of each year on the journey and in an end-scoring after that additional one day.

The engine of the game is a deck of cards. Each player has six cards per year (and an additional card for the last day) and conducts actions with them: traveling, working, finding travel mates, etc. as well as leisure activities: music, writing, painting.
