 Interviews by an Optimist #87 - Andreas Seyfarth
Andreas: I was very impressed by the reactions of the players and critics, as we (Stefan Brück and me) didn't expect this kind of reactions.
Andreas: As I don't like to play chess (I liked it more when I was young) I don't like to play other games in the way you play chess.
Andreas: The only problem is to make an expansion as good as the original game (I can’t ingnore this for an expansion)...., so there are lots of ideas, but it's more difficult to get them into a new box.

 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (pc: 2005): Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.
San Andreas (Rockstar Games) is neither PC nor up to general PC standards, but damn great fun anyway.
I honestly cannot give Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas a decent score in good conscience just because this could have easily been so much better as a PC title Let’s hope some patches roll around quickly to resolve the worst of the damage.

Portrait Andreas Seyfarth :: Spieltrieb :: Folge deinem Trieb
"Meine Spiele-Leidenschaft entfachte meine Frau", sagt Andreas Seyfarth (Jahrgang 1962), Autor von Puerto Rico, das in diesem Jahr für das "Spiel des Jahres 2002" nominiert worden ist.
Mit Puerto Rico meldet sich Seyfarth eindrucksvoll zurück - und ist nach eigenen Angaben dort angelangt, wo er seit seinen ersten Entwürfen hin wollte: bei einem Spiel, das mit einem lebendigen Thema für abendfüllende Unterhaltung sorgt.

But I think the method Andreas is referring to is that civs which are passed over in Vinci have 2 VPs subtracted from their cost.
In this way, civ costs are modified not only by the game's mechanisms, but also by the players' choices, with the less powerful civs becoming more desirable each time they are passed over.
To answer the question re: Verrater, Andreas stated in the recent edition of Games magazine that he had the idea for choosing roles *before* Verrater was released.

 Saheli*: Musings and Observations
Looking up these links I was intrigued by the fact that this game actually has an author: Andreas Seyfarth, apparently of Munich.
In the mean time, for sheer silliness' sake, I point you to Google's translations of his profile at Alea, apparently the original maker of Puerto Rico (Google translation of their motto: "alea - the play is good, is pleased humans"), and an article about him on SpielTrieb.
But then the plays became ever more fastidiously and finally turned Karen Seyfarth this hobby the back.Married man Andreas let that be based not on itself and took up contact with different play publishing houses.
