Board Game Geek Rating: 5.85, Avg Player Rating: 6.12. This is the Kickstarter Edition of Coin Age, a board game usually not available in retail stores. It's for 2 players and was published in 2013. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Coin Age is a microgame played with a single card and pocket change. Players take turns placing coins on a map to control spaces, outmaneuver opponents, and score victory points. It uses an innovative 'coin slap' mechanism. On a turn, a player holds one of each remaining coin type, shakes them, and slaps them on the table. Based on matching coins, they can place, move, or remove coins. You can place coins on top of smaller ones. A quarter gives the most victory points but is likely to be covered. It's a fast - paced area control game with player interaction and a bit of luck. At TheGameSteward, a good part of your spending on Coin Age will back new Kickstarter games. Contact us for purchase or game advice.
To play Coin Age, you'll need a single card and some pocket change. There are two players. Each takes turns. First, hold one of each coin type (quarter, nickel, penny, and dime) in your hand. Shake them up and then slap them on the table. Based on how many coins match your'side', you can choose to place coins on the map, move coins you've already placed to an adjacent space, or remove them. When placing coins, you can put yours on top of your opponent's if theirs are smaller. Remember, this is the Kickstarter Edition, and paid add - ons from the campaign aren't included unless it says so. Also, this game isn't usually sold in retail stores. To keep it in good shape, just keep the card and coins in a dry place. Have fun playing and interacting with your opponent in this fast - paced game!
