Rondel (gaming)
A rondel is a wheel-shaped game mechanism with a number of different options. A rondel game (or aspect of a game) is one in which a player's choice of actions is limited by their ability to move around the rondel, and so the player is restricted from taking the same action repeatedly. A player is usually able to move farther around the rondel by paying a cost. Boardgamegeek. See also * * * |
Game
A game is a structured form of play (activity), play, usually undertaken for enjoyment, entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool. Many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games). Games are sometimes played purely for enjoyment, sometimes for achievement or reward as well. They can be played alone, in teams, or online; by amateurs or by professionals. The players may have an audience of non-players, such as when people are entertained by watching a World Chess Championship, chess championship. On the other hand, players in a game may constitute their own audience as they take their turn to play. Often, part of the entertainment for children playing a game is deciding who is part of their audience and who is a player. A toy and a game are not the same. Toys generally allow for unrestr ...

Mac Gerdts
Walther M. Gerdts, known as Mac Gerdts, is the designer of German-style board games such as '' Imperial'', ''Imperial 2030'', '' Antike'' and '' Hamburgum''. His games introduced the concept of a rondel rather than dice as a mechanism for play. This is designed to prevent players from repeatedly taking the same action in quick succession without paying a cost. Like many German board games, all of Gerdts' games include a mechanism designed to keep game length roughly within the specified time constraint. In Imperial, the game ends when a nation reaches the 25-point on the counting chart. In Hamburgum, the game ends when six churches are constructed. Games * ''Antike Duellum'', released in 2012, is a two-player version of Antike. * ''Antike II'', released in 2014, is the follow-up of Antike, modified to make conquests easier while also allowing players to have possibilities of winning without necessarily attacking other players. * ''Antike'', released in 2005, is about evolution ...

Imperial (board Game)
''Imperial'' is a German-style board game designed by Mac Gerdts in which the object is to accumulate wealth in the form of bond holdings in successful countries and cash. Players take on the role of international financiers who purchase government bonds in the six pre-World War I empires of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Russia. The principal bondholder of a nation gains control of its government and can order importation or production of armaments and ships; maneuvering of military units; construction of factories; and taxation. During play, an investor card is passed around which allows the purchase of additional bonds. A rondel – a wheel-shaped game mechanism with eight different options – is used to determine the options available to a country. The game box states that it is for 2–6 players, but a developer-supported variant allows play with seven.*Gerdts, MacFirst time SEVEN player session Feb. 20, 2007. ''Imperial 2030'' is a f ...
