Asterix & Co is a tactical card game for 24 players built around the world of the famous Asterix comic strip. It’s designed for families and mixed-age groups, with straightforward rules that open up into genuine strategic decisions as the game progresses.

Each round, Asterix album cards are laid out on the table each shared between two neighbouring players, with a Gallic side and a Roman side. You play character cards from your hand onto albums to build the stronger army, but the first card played on an album locks in the faction for that side, forcing your opponent onto the other. Neutral characters can be played anywhere, adding flexibility. Collect 50 laurel points to win but watch your opponents’ hands as carefully as your own, and trigger character powers at the right moment.

What’s good?
