Among Nobles
Among Nobles is not reinventing anything, but at three players it delivers a tight, pleasing hour that can come down to the final marriage.

I had a reservation about Among Nobles: a previous game with five had not gone especially well. At three, though, it showed a much better face and became a genuinely enjoyable outing.
The rules were familiar enough that we could get straight into it without losing the pace. There is nothing revolutionary here, but there are several clever touches, enough to make its hour feel properly occupied.

The real business between players arrives where it should: at the final marriage. Our game was decided exactly there, and that last move felt as though it mattered. Lovely. So, who is marrying whom?
I would not sell it as a forgotten classic, but Among Nobles is perfectly sound as an hour-long game, especially with three. And now that it counts as an old one, finding it at a good price would make it a quietly good addition.
