The Great Split

In The Great Split, you enter a vibrant world of negotiation and strategy as you seek to build the most impressive collection of riches. Each round begins with a challenging task: splitting your cards into two groups, something that sounds simple but can completely change the course of the game. You pass your selection to the player on your left, and the tension builds when you realize that only one of the groups will return to you. During this time, the player on your right is also making an offer, which makes each choice even more critical. Here, bargaining skills are key. You have to be shrewd, carefully choosing which cards to leave behind and which will match your strategies perfectly. While collecting shiny gems, precious tomes and works of art, you must keep an eye on the dynamics of the ever-changing market. The value of riches varies, and what may seem like a good choice to an opponent may not be for you. Customizing your collection is not just about quantity, but about how each wealth contributes to your prestige points at the end of the game. Decisions are quick and moves need to be agile. Be prepared for adjustments during the game, as scores will be triggered and every point counts. Use your gold wisely, exploit every opportunity and, above all, have fun as you compete to become the true master of The Great Split!

GAME mechanics

• I Cut, You Choose - This game uses the classic mechanic of dividing up rewards (or penalties). One player divides up a pool of resources, and the other player(s) first choose which part they want. This creates a strategic tension, as the splitter must think carefully about the best way to balance the options.
• Closed Purchase - Here, players acquire cards or resources in a hidden way, adding a layer of suspense and strategy to the game. By keeping purchases secret, opportunities arise for unexpected moves and the need to predict opponents' intentions.
• Simultaneous Action Selection - All players choose their actions at the same time and then reveal them. This creates a dynamic rhythm, where anticipating other players' moves can give you a significant advantage. The lack of a rigid turn forces quick and adaptable strategies.
• Variable Preparation - This mechanic provides an initial game configuration that varies with each match, guaranteeing unique and innovative experiences. By constantly modifying the starting conditions, players must adjust their tactics right from the start, keeping the game fresh and challenging.
• Trees / Technology Trails - In the game, players have the opportunity to develop skills or obtain resources by following specific paths. Deciding which path to follow is crucial, as each choice can unlock new possibilities or improve existing capabilities. This requires long-term planning and careful consideration of the choices available.
