Two Fun Knizia Games

[Eric J F]

I just noticed OSO Systems released another fun game, Reiner Knizia's Poison, as a followup to their earlier Reiner Knizia's Penguin.

Both have fairly simple but nice graphics, good game play, are easy to learn but have enough strategy to be interesting, and represent the 'Knizia style' well.

Knizia is a German board game designer with a PhD in mathematics and is good at developing games with challenging odds and fun scoring.

My only criticism of both games is it's not obvious who won- players are ranked in a list at game's end. I'd like to see sound effects in Penguin with on/off sound for both.

But she failed here... I know that she is human.

I know. I also know how hard it is to pull off personalized messages for apps.
Especially when you've run out of space.

I've noticed her 'familiar' comments, too; I almost said redundant...

She's a WPC moderator; she also moves posts around to more appropriate forums.

Real or bot, she does a good job!
