Love this game!
Love this game! May not look like much but it packs a lot of suspenseful puzzle into 45 minutes that provokes an open mind to succeed. For a seemingly tactical game there is a good amount of depth. I could compare parts to Carcassonne or Castles of Burgundy but somehow it provides more satisfaction than both combined. Rules aren’t as complex as Burgundy but more than Carcassonne. The theme and artwork complements the game. You start with a humble lot and shovel to build a challenged city of vineyards, farms, ponds, gardens, bakeries, fountains and buildings each unlocking resources which you then race to fulfill the available scoring cards that change each game. The scoring mechanism is an inventive and very tense concept. My only complaint is the vineyards, farms and gardens are difficult to tell apart.

A great Feld game!
We have quite a few games from Stefan Feld, as he is our favorite board game designer. In a way, the main part of the game, picking tiles, is a mini version of personal Carcassonne. Weâve only played it four times so far, but itâs beautiful, easy to learn (but hard to master) and of course has an insane replay value. This game is lighter than Castles of Burgundy so if we want to play a âMedium weightâ game, this is one of our new go-to games. Good job again Stefan!

Simple gameplay with great replayability
my biggest issue: I agree with others with their sentiment that the game does not look the greatest. For a new/modern game it definitely does not live up aesthetically to other games out there.That said, the gameplay is honestly really fun and unique. Very easy to learn (with a little re-reading of a few instructions). Definitely watch some let’s-play reviews before you get it and you’ll know exactly how to play the game before you even get it. This game is now a regular for us!

I’m a fan of this designer and I LOVE this game
I’ve played many of Feld’s designs but this one is just so clean and fun. Move your guy around in a circle to pick a tile to help you place the tile on your board. It’s a typical Feld “point salad” type game but easy enough to teach new gamers and still be interesting for hobbyists.

Great edition of a good Feld game
We are very happy with this cleaner 3rd edition of a great Feld board game. If you like Castles of Burgundy, you may well enjoy this lesser known drafting tile placement game.

Ahora que acabamos de jugar nuestra segunda partida me gustarÃa actualizar esta reseña con solo dos apuntes:_ Realmente se tarda mucho en desplegar el juego, por un lado es bueno porque las partidas pueden ser muy diferentes ya que los componentes varÃan mucho de lugar y objetivo, pero por otro lado hay un tiempo de configuración que hay que saber gestionar bien entre todos._ El marcador de puntos victoria está mal dimensionado porque se agota siempre para casi todos los jugadores, y al haber cartas de puntos victoria, quizás sea más viable ir marcando los puntos directamente con las cartas desde el principio.RESEÃA ORIGINAL:Juego de colocación de losetas con un aliciente de gestión de recursos, ilustrado como la Roma más liberal pero ambientación poco efectiva ya que podrÃa ser de la edad media o un planeta y serÃa idéntico. Es un âeuroâ de peso medio, con varias posibilidades para ganar y muy fácil de volver a jugar.Para mà el manual no está bien redactado, las reglas están bien explicadas con ejemplos pero con demasiados giros que las hacen muy extensas de leer, cuando en realidad el juego es más sencillo y mucho más dinámico.Los componentes son de calidad media, me esperaba más, pero es suficiente para soportar varias partidas si lo tratamos con mimo.La mayorÃa de componentes son de cartón, tablero, tablero individual, monedas, panes y principalmente las losetas.Luego están las cartas con un formato pequeño en papel plastificado, tanto para las cartas de punto victoria como para otras tarjetas de objetivo y bonos.Por último tenemos los componentes de madera con buenos acabados, los peones, las fichas de colocación y mención especial para las mercancÃas, peces, gallinas, racimos y hojas.Nosotros hemos necesitado 8 bolsas de plástico de 12 x 15 cm., no incluidas, para embalar todos los componentes por separado para agilizar la puesta en marcha de las partidas.Se tarda bastante en desplegar los componentes y en el manual no está bien ilustrado que es cada cosa, asà que para los más inexpertos puede tornarse una tarea complicada al principio⦠paciencia, luego merece la pena.Se trata de crear tu propio pueblo, seleccionando bien las losetas para cumplir los objetivos requeridos. Hay muchas formas de conseguir puntos, eso está muy bien resuelto en este juego, ya que permite definir distintas estrategias y todas pueden darte la victoria, mejorando la jugabilidad, cambiando tu forma de jugar en la siguiente partida.En resumen, un buen juego en lÃneas generales, mejor que otros más populares e incluso una buena opción para familias que quieran profundizar en mecánicas de juego, aportando datos y jerga histórica por nuestra cuentaâ¦Un saludo!

Carpe Diem é uno di quei titoli che é possibile ad oggi recuperare ad un ottimo prezzo grazie alle periodiche offerte disponibili. Si tratta di un gioco da tavolo che gira bene anche in 2 persone, dalla curva d’apprendimento immediata ma che partita dopo partita si rivela sempre più appagante fornendo il giusto mix di divertimento, strategia e abilità . I materiali sono in linea con altri giochi german degli ultimi anni, il contesto non si sente moltissimo, ma la meccanica di gioco é solida ed esente da difetti. In base al numero di giocatori una partita può durare anche oltre 75 minuti abbondanti. Ottima longevità e regolamento molto chiaro, per quanto siano presenti piccoli errori e qualche imprecisione risolvibile consultando le versioni in altre lingue, comunque incluse. Il prodotto é arrivato in ottimo stato.

Good quality components, clear instruction manual and just a great game! Other games by Stefan Feld are better known – and they are also worth getting as he’s a genius game designer – but this one is right up there.
