Small game makes it big: "Prince & Princess": Florian Racky wins Hamburg Game Designers Award 2016
Hamburg,
Germany January 8th, 2016 – German game designer Florian Racky wins
the Hamburg Game Designers Award 2016. On January 6th
the award was presented to Racky and his micro game „Prince &
Princess“ by the Hamburg game designers guild „Spielwerk Hamburg“ and
the well-known publisher Pegasus Spiele. Rackys minimalist card game was
one of more than 50 entries from Germany, Austria and
Switzerland in the annual game designers contest hosted by the
Spielwerk Hamburg and was able to fascinate the entire jury.
"I
am delighted that I won this big award with such a small card game“
says the 44 year-old game designer from the greater Frankfurt
area as he received the award trophy from Pegasus‘ managing editor
Klaus Ottmaier. Ottmaier states „I was amazed by the sheer amount of
innovative ideas I was able to see and play in the course of the design
contest. „Prince & Princess“ however, took our editorial
staff by storm – we couldn’t stop playing it.“
„Prince
& Princess“ is a micro game for 4-10 players, consisting only of 18
cards. Players secretly take the role of courtly characters
who strive to acchieve their own personal goal before the prince and
the princess have their royal wedding. It is a game of hidden roles,
bluffing and backstabbery that plays in 15 minutes. Florian Rackys game
is now under close consideration at Pegasus Spiele
and has a high chance to be published in the near future.
Shaun

Contest at the beginning of February.“
