Belratti

I recently had the opportunity to play Belratti, a cooperative card game with a fun art forgery theme. I was immediately drawn to the concept of working together to outsmart the infamous forger, Belratti, and I was excited to see how the game played out.

The gameplay is surprisingly engaging, even though it's quite simple. Players take turns being either "painters" or "buyers." As a painter, you select cards from your hand that match a given theme, trying to subtly convey your reasoning to your fellow players. Then, Belratti's fakes are added to the mix, and the buyers must try to identify the genuine paintings from the forgeries.

I really appreciate the game's focus on teamwork and communication. It's a lot of fun trying to figure out the subtle connections between cards and guessing what your teammates might be thinking. There's a delightful sense of shared triumph when you manage to identify all the genuine paintings and outsmart Belratti.

The game also features some helpful special powers, which can be used to eliminate forgeries or make it easier for the painters to convey their themes. These powers add a strategic element to the game, and they can really help turn the tide in your favor.

Overall, I found Belratti to be a fun and engaging cooperative game that's easy to learn but offers plenty of replay value. It's perfect for families or groups of friends who enjoy social deduction games with a creative twist. The game is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a lighthearted, cooperative experience that's sure to spark lively discussions and plenty of laughs.
