About this game

Famfrenzia is a card-based game for 4-12 players that is easy to learn and quick to play. The game has no player turns and comes with a companion web app. Inside the box you find 120 character cards, 29 action cards, and 20 announcement cards. The character cards represent 17 families from around the world and each character card shows details of the character such as name, country, generation, location, points, and two possessions that the character owns. The objective of the game is to build sets that earn you bonus points. Set types include families, social events (based on possessions), generation sets, duos, and murder mysteries. The game is played in rounds. Each round has 4-5 stages: Each player gets 2 character cards from the deck. The game master auctions two character cards and one action card. Players have 2 minutes to negotiate and exchange cards. At the end of each round, players can use one of their action cards. At the beginning of every other round, the game master reveals one announcement card and ask the players to carry out its instructions. Players use the companion app to add/remove character cards, search/filter for cards they may need, see their completed sets and missing cards from other sets, bid auction amounts and keep track of their digital money, and see updated victory points. The game ends when the deck runs out of cards and the player with the most victory points wins. —description from publisher
