Let us play a little game and earn some Magic Potion!
The first person to name our next game will earn 1 month of Magic Potion! Yes 1 month of Magic Potion!
But that's not all, any person who asks an interesting question (a question that helps us get significantly closer to the solution) will also be rewarded with Magic Potion or Gold. Just be aware that we can only reply Yes or No to your questions. So don't ask the color of the box or the number of letters in the title!
Ready to play? Let's go!
PS: only one rule, you cannot ask two questions in a row or make two propositions in a row! You need to wait for another player to post another question/proposition before asking again. This is just to avoid flooding by one player.

Let's play. \o/

Is it posible to score more than 100?

I don't think it is theoretically possible to score more than 100 points. If it is, it won't happen in practice.

Also not a German designer.
Designer may be known to some, just not broadly well known (as in your example)

-
Was the game released in Germany?
-
Is the original name in English?

It is a good clue though.

Was the game released in Germany?
No. I don't think so.

Is the original name in English?
Yes. 100 gold coins for you.
-
Is it a sequel or an adaptation of another game? (like hanamikoji for example, which is a card adaptation of the board game, or like "keltis or")

Does it take more than 4 minutes to play (happy meeple scale)?
-
Does it take more than 4 minutes to play (happy meeple scale)?
I am not 100% sure yet. But I think it should be more than 4 minutes on the Happy Meeple scale. The Happy Meeple scale is optimistic and mostly based on play against a bot.
The publisher said to me that he never saw a game last more than 15 minutes in real life, but I have played a game myself that took longer (I am a slow player).

Hi :)
Is the game's title made with 3 words or less ?

Yes!

Is it Morels/Fungi?
-
Did the game have a kick-starter campaign?
-
Are there nice illustrations on the cards or not really ?
-
Is it Morels/Fungi?
No it is not.
-
Did the game have a kick-starter campaign?
Yes it had!!!!
That was a very good question. Let me give you 1 week of Magic Potion David!!!
-

Art is always a subjective matter. But I would say the gameplay is a stronger asset of the game than its artwork.
-
I am certain it is a game I have never heard of ;)
-
I am getting stumped. Is it Primar?
-

No.

No, it is not East at all...
-
Wow! Thank you.
Unfortunately I'm stumped!

What does stumped mean? The online translator did not help me much.
-
Confused, perplexed, baffled would be some synonyms off the top of my head.
ie "That question really stumped me!" = "That question really confused me" = "That question has me baffled"

Can we see water on the box ?
-
Can we see water on the box ?
There is no box as such.
There is water in the game though.
-
Dos it hv a ghost on it?
-
Actually it seems what I saw from the game I thought about wan't exactly the box itself.
So I'll go with my last thought : is it Circle the Wagons ?
It corresponds pretty well to the restrictions we found til now especially the "not eastern at all" comment

Ha Ha!
Yes indeed it IS. The water is on the rules cover, but not on the wallet.
CIRCLE THE WAGONS it is.
Well done. Let me now give you 1 month of Magic Potion.
Enjoy!
-
Haaaa awesome ! Damn I feel like the chosen one haha thanks a lot !
-
Congratulations Choosen One! ;D
-
Congrats!
I look forward to playing the new game when available.
-
Great job Alexandre!
Looking forward to this one too, and feeling a bit <slaps head>. I'm in their current kickstarter, which includes this game, and didn't even think of them.
And the not-an-award that it won was the 2016 Button Shy Wallet Design Contest. So indeed, that reply made sense. ;)
-
Right, I finally get this clue! ;D I thought it was a mistype, or my english limitation. Ok, now I get it... ;)
-
I don't know what your next game is going to be but I just played this game today called "Welcome to..." and the whole time I was playing it, I couldn't stop thinking about how perfect this game would be for Happy Meeple! Please look into that one as it is a perfect style game for this!
-
Welcome to... has been under our radar for a long time but we have not had a chance to play it or even read the rules. I was under the impression that it was a bit too complicated for Happy Meeple.
Thanks for the heads up Jeff!
It is also nice reading you think about Happy Meeple when trying new games. :)
