Clair, Tasty Minstrel Games SKU ZBG-TTT1017 Availability Downfall: Conquest of the Third Reich Preview 4 — Action Rounds Continue, by Bob Heinzmann and John ButterfieldAs a whole Downfall is a pretty simple game. The rules take minutes to read and about the same amount of time to explain to new players. The game has a recommended age of 7+. I think children under the age of seven could play the game as they shouldn’t have any trouble understanding the rules. I think the age of 7+ is due to younger children not understanding the strategy behind the game.

Downfall is a game of gears, twists and turns, and strategy. Players take turns using their game key to turn one gear at a time, with the aim being to get all 10 of their tokens down through the gears and into their chute first to win. Players need to be strategic and think ahead! Every move could actually help their opponent on the other side of the game unit. While players try to outwit each other, they can practice valuable skills in strategic planning, critical thinking, and visual reasoning. This game was reviewed by Mensa for Kids.

Buy Premium Box »Downfall is a two-player game for players aged 7 and older, first marketed by the Milton Bradley Company in 1970. For your first couple of games it will be impossible to tell where the other player’s discs are on a particular dial. Since both sides are not lined up with one another there is no way to tell where a disc is positioned on the other player’s side of the gameboard. The only way to know where the discs are located is to play the game often enough that you have memorized the differences between the two sides of the gameboard. Even if you have memorized both sides of the gameboard you could still have a hard time remembering all of the locations of the discs. Basically if you don’t play the game frequently enough to memorize the other side of the board, Downfall becomes a guessing game. This is not necessarily a bad thing but it may drive people nuts who want more control over the outcome of the game. I mentioned semi-simultaneous turns because, even though the rulebook says you can do most actions simultaneously, in practice that only works for a few of the actions. Any action that requires a player to move to new tiles or, more importantly, discover hidden tiles can't really be performed unless all players are paying attention because it's important for all players to see what has been discovered as resources are so scarce, and doubly important once players start to expand their territory and bump into the territory of other players.
