Bergnein is a card game for 2–6 players in English, based on the door system and entry requirements for the Berghain nightclub in Berlin, and released in late 2017. The game was published under the Ninja Print imprint by Beware of Ninja AB, based in Gothenburg, Sweden.[1] It was created by Alexander Kandiloros, with game mechanics by Alexander Kandiloros and André Forsblom, and designed by Joakim Bergkvist.[2]
Bergnein achieved a degree of attention and notoriety both before and after its launch, thanks to a cancelled Kickstarter campaign which was covered extensively in the international press,[3][4][5] and a series of threats and legal action on behalf of Berghain and its head doorman, Sven Marquardt. The game was printed and sold to people who pre-ordered it, but as a result of the legal action, it was subsequently withdrawn from sale and is no longer in print.[6][7]
