Coin Age is a microgame for two players
that's played with a single card and pocket change. Players take turns
placing coins on a map to control spaces, outmaneuver their opponent,
and score victory points.
Coin Age uses an innovative "coin slap" mechanism to
determine available actions. On a player's turn, he takes one of each of
his remaining types of coins in hand (one quarter, one nickel, one
penny, and one dime), shakes them up, then slaps them on the table.
Based on the number of coins that match his "side", he can then either
place coins on the map, move previously placed coins to an adjacent
space, or remove them altogether. When placing coins, players may also
place their coins on top of the opponent's coins if their size/rank is
smaller, so while a quarter will give you the most victory points at the
end of the game, it has the highest probability of being covered by
your opponent.
Coin Age is a quick-playing area control game with lots of player interaction and a bit of push-your-luck gameplay.
