Description
Immersed deeply in the world of Dickens’s and Doyle’s literature, Nanty Narking moves you into the realities of the myths and legends of the Victorian era. The events in the game are tied to real and fictional characters and places in Victorian London The same London which inspired so many stories…
The action takes place on the city map, with players placing their agents and buildings on the board through card play. Every card is unique. The cards bring the game to life as they include most of the famous characters who 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.
At the beginning of the game, each player draws a secret personality with specific victory conditions, which means that you can never be sure what the other players need to do in order to win. You need to fulfill your goal while also trying to prevent others from winning!

Quotes (from this video)
- Would not recommend.
- I feel like I must be missing something with this one because Coimbra is a game that I I I thought was fine. Like not even like good. It was just fine.
- Coimbra was a complete miss for me and my group.
- This one also did not work for me.
- It is a fast, light, simple game, but it's also not easy and it's also incredibly like so little decision making in this game.
- the game is random as far as you may get slapped in the face really, really hard in four out of five of the games and then get like a little lucky in the way things come out.
- I just think that I spent enough time on BoardGameGeek over the years that when ratings have been incentivized in some way...
- The vibe I got, like if I found out, I guess the way I'd put it is if I found out they ran a get $5 off your next purchase with us if you go rate the game on BGG, I wouldn't be surprised.

- A player can never have control of a region containing a red grenadiers pawn that region is under martial law and so the military controls it.
