More About Hoity Toity:

Collecting sets of antiques is the goal in this game, designed by Klaus Teuber -- who also designed The Settlers of Catan. Each turn includes two rounds. In the first, all players simultaneously decide whether they're going to the castle or the auction house; in the second, they decide what action they'll take in the building they chose. It's best to pick a building and action that no other player chooses. Adel Verpflichtet won the 1990 Spiel des Jahres, Germany's award for Family Game of the Year.
