Game:Discworld Ankh-Morpork

Game Box Art

Discworld Ankh-Morpork is a board game set in the largest city-state in Terry Pratchett's Discworld. The game was designed by Martin Wallace and Treefrog Games. They later developed a second Discworld game: The Witches.

Lord Vetinari has disappeared and different factions are trying to take control of the city. Each player has a secret personality with specific victory conditions, which means that you're not sure exactly what the other players need to do in order to win.

The action takes place on a map of Ankh-Morpork, with players trying to place minions and buildings through card play. Each of the 132 cards is unique, and "the cards bring the game to life as they include most of the famous characters that have appeared in the various books. The rules are relatively simple: Play a card and do what it says. Most cards have more than one action on them, and you can choose to do some or all of these actions. Some cards also allow you to play a second card, so you can chain actions" (Wallace).
