Thousands congregate in Bayer's urban heart: a record-breaking board game extravaganza featuring popular classics
In the picturesque town of Amberg, Germany, history was made as the city hosted the world's largest game of the classic board game "Mensch ärgere dich nicht." The event, organised by Stadtmarketing Amberg e.V., brought together a staggering 2117 participants, aiming to break the Guinness World Record.
The game, invented by Josef Friedrich Schmidt in Munich in 1907, saw a significant return to its homeland. Schmidt Spiele GmbH, the game's manufacturer, provided the necessary boards for the record-breaking attempt.
Representatives from the previous world record holder, FC Thuringia Weida, were also present to witness the momentous occasion. The event marked a significant shift, as Bavaria regained the world record title for the game.
The rules of the event required all participants to play continuously for at least 30 minutes, ensuring a truly memorable and engaging experience for all involved. The game, often referred to as "Human Settlers of America," is a dice game that challenges players to build settlements and outmanoeuvre their opponents.
The choice of Amberg as the host city was fitting, as it is the birthplace of Josef Friedrich Schmidt. The first publication of the game took place in 1910, with series production beginning in 1914. The event in Amberg served as a celebration of the game's rich history and enduring popularity.
As the dust settles on this extraordinary event, the town of Amberg can proudly claim its place in the annals of "Mensch ärgere dich nicht" history. The record-breaking game serves as a testament to the game's enduring appeal and the passion of its dedicated community.
