Shakespeare the Bard Game by Überplay / Sophisticated Games / Esdevium. For ages 12+ Takes about 60 minutes 2-5 players Box measures roughly 12" x 12" x 3" and is quite heavy at just shy of 1.8 kg. Questions by Helen Barton, author of The Shakespeare Quiz Book. Made in Germany. ISBN 1932742123 A family game for 2-5 players, aged 12 or older. A prior knowledge of Shakespeare is useful but not a necessity. The gameplay has been designed so that even if you know next to nothing about the Bard you can still play the game - and win! A normal game takes an hour to play, but you can choose to play longer is you wish. Shakespeare the Bard game triumphantly combines the fun of a family game with a journey through the world of the world's greatest playwright. Playable over and over again, it is truly a game for all seasons! The scene is the early 1600's. Each player in the game takes on the rôle of one of the great Elizabethan theatre entrepreneurs, whose aim is to put on plays that will pack the house. In particular, the chase is on to acquire scripts from the greatest living playwright of the time, Will Shakespeare. To stage these extraordinary dramas, you will need to form a company of actors, acquire all the props that the play requires, find a patron, and last but not least, acquire large sums of money to enable these productions to go ahead. Along the way there is many a pitfall to waylay you.

It has been played only once, by 3 of us, all adults. The little tokens, cards etc are in bags to keep them separate, the bags not being in the original box. The contents of the box are just like new. No damage to tokens, booklets, counters, coins etc etc at all. The large playing board is just like new. It measures approx. 22" square. The box is just like new, save 3 of the outside corners having the absolute tiniest of wear to them, which I will photograph, and which may well have been there when bought.
