Based on the same game concept as London: The Board Game, Wien! is a simple family game that lets the players explore the city, discovering the history of the Austrian capital. The board is divided into two areas: the city map and the Timeline. Moving on the city map, the players reach the most famous locations in town and collect historical cards that can then be played to advance on the Timeline. The first player to complete the path on the Timeline wins. Specific knowledge of the history of the town is not required to play the game because Wien! is not a trivia game.
