Quäsenbö

a Decktet game for 2 or more players

Quäsenbö was a popular game at the court of the badger Charlemagne. Its name means "too many." The theme is thought to reflect political issues of royal succession in the many small kingdoms of the Empire; although some feminist historians believe it instead derives from the quäsenbö pan, a cast-iron skillet capable of turning out vast numbers of spätzle at a time.

Game design: Jens Alfke and Ricci Adams
