Noutati de la Ludonaute:

The future of humanity awaits you in Space Gate Odyssey. A system of viable exoplanets has been recently discovered and the Confederations are flocking into space to colonize it. In this 2 to 4-player development and flow-management board game, you play the leader of one of these Confederations and play your influence in the Odyssey command station to send as many of your settlers as you can on these exoplanets.

After decades of research and technological development, humanity is preparing to leave the Earth to colonize this discovered system. To get there, only one possible means of transport exists: space gates. For reasons related to physics and other quantum aspects, these gates can be built only in space. The Confederations have therefore embarked on the construction of their own station in orbit, equipped with space gates.

At the beginning of the colonizing era, these portals make it possible to go on one of the first three discovered planets. As soon as an entire contingent of settlers has joined the gate of a space station, it is teleported to the corresponding exoplanet. The landing conditions vary according to the planets and the choice of colonized spots quickly becomes strategic.

As soon as one of the three exoplanets is fully colonized, each Confederation gains influence according to its placement, then access to one of the two later discovered exoplanets becomes possible. At the end of the colonization of the five exoplanets, the stations are teleported to the Hawking planet and the influence of each Confederation is assessed. The leader of the most influential Confederation will be promoted to the rank of Governor of this new system.

One of the biggest challenges in Space Gate Odyssey is your ability to quickly develop and intelligently arrange your space station. The better you optimize the flow of your settlers to your station, then to the exoplanets, the more of them you can send to the favorable spots and thus gain influence.

The choice of the modules, their arrangement, and the distance between the airlocks and the gates are therefore essential elements — especially since, at the end of the game, the domains of the modules you used to build your station will bring you additional influence points if they are in line with the position of the domains on the Hawking planet Predominance.

Finally, you must be careful not to leave too many open corridors on the space void as this represents a real danger for your settlers and could therefore damage your reputation.

Your most amazing quest starts with Space Gate Odyssey. Will you be able to take over your opponents in order to take control of the new system, or will you stay at the dock?

Spielworxx e echivalent cu insta-buy pentru multi.
Daca imi aduc bine aminte, Chuckila a avut niste lucruri bune de spus despre prototipul acestui joc de la Rola & Costa.

China experienced the greatest economic expansion in its history during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). The silver trade between the Americas and Europe and onward to China had a profound effect on the world economy – it may be considered the beginning of a global economy.

In China, social mobility led to the growing of cities, especially in the lower Yangtze area, which was at that time responsible for the main production of wheat for the whole country. In addition to wheat and rice, other crops like tea, fruits, and sugarcane were grown on a large scale. Immigrating peasants changed their profession to become merchants and artisans. Many people from the countryside were employed in private or state run factories, producing commodities like paper, porcelain, refined sugar, or silk textiles.

Trade and commerce thrived in this liberalized economy and was aided by the construction of canals, roads, and bridges by the Ming government. Ming China saw the rise of several merchant clans, who owned large amounts of wealth.

In Yínzi: The Shining Ming Dynasty — "yínzi" meaning "silver" — the players represent merchant clans developing parts of China in the late Ming period in the early 17th century along the last 200 km of the Yangtze river before it reaches the China Sea.

The players plant crops, sell goods to the rural or urban markets, develop raw materials, build and upgrade factories, and sell their goods to ships already waiting in the port. In order to reach the port, the players need to improve their river transport capabilities along the Yangtze.

GLEN MORE II: Chronicles

The first major gameplay change comes in the form of the name-giving Chronicles. These are eight expansions to the core game that are part of Glen More II. Each Chronicle adds a completely new gameplay element to the base game and all Chronicles can be freely combined. The „Highland Boat Race“ Chronicle, for example, tells the story of a boat race, in which the winner needs to be the first to reach his home castle again, after navigating his boat along the river through all the other players‘ territories. The "Hammer of the Scots" Chronicle adds the neutral "Englishman" playing piece to the time track that players struggle to control to get an additional turn - if they can afford him, as he is paid using the market mechanism.

The second major change is the ability to invest in famous Scottish people of the times, represented through the new tile type of persons. Persons not only have their own scoring, they allow to trigger one-time or ongoing effects on the tactical clan board. This adds a new layer of decision making. Especially the ongoing effects allow the players to focus on a personal strategy to win the game through the use of the clan board.

In Glen More II: Chronicles, each player represents the clan leader of a Scottish clan from the early medieval ages until the 19th century, looking to expand their territory and wealth. The success of your clan depends on your ability to make the right decision at the right time - be it by creating a new pasture for your livestock, growing barley for whisky production, selling your goods on the various markets or gaining control of special landmarks such as lochs and castles.

The game runs for 4 rounds, represented by 4 stacks of tiles. After each round, a scoring phase takes place comparing a player‘s number of whisky casks, scotsmen in the home castle, landmark cards and persons to the player with the fewest of each category and awarding victory points according to the relative difference. After four rounds additional victory points are awarded for gold coins and some landmarks while victory point penalties are dealt for the territory size, comparing the size to the player with the smallest territory.
The core mechanic of Glen More 2: Chronicles and Glen More functions the same way:
The last player in line takes a tile from a timetrack, advancing as far as he wishes. After paying the cost, the tile is placed in the player‘s territory, activating itself and all neighbouring tiles. This triggers production of resources, movement points, victory points etc. Then the player who is last in line now takes his turn.

Improvements over the original Glen More are the ability to control the end of the game for each player, bigger tiles and better materials, new artworks and balancing adjustments to the tiles for a better suspense curve. The game is designed to consist of one third known systems, one third new mechanics and one third improvements to Glen More.

Hmmm... nu prea m-am dat in vant dupa original. O fi mai bun asta?

Egizia Second Edition is an updated version of the beloved strategy game. Players travel down the Nile, placing boats as they go, to collect resources that will help them construct some of Egypt’s most famous monuments. With all new monuments to build, new cards to collect, and a constantly shifting river, Egizia Second Edition is a streamlined, modern update that both longtime fans and brand new players can easily pick up and enjoy.
Players each get a chance to build across the Colonnade, a brand new monument. The more columns you build, the better powers you unlock to help you on the river. Perhaps once per turn you can place boats on occupied river spaces, or upstream, or gain an extra point each time you place bricks in monuments. With randomized rewards from game to game, the Colonnade is a dynamic new monument to shake up traditional gameplay.

Below the Colonnade, where the Graves once stood, lie the mysterious Statues—a brand new monument unlike anything else in Egizia. These tiny build sites are cheaper than any other monument, but they hold the potential for high reward if you fulfill their requirements. Players must plan early, as they can only put one brick in a statue per round, and each level they build to has more strenuous requirements for end game bonuses.

Egizia Second Edition keeps all the painstaking risk/reward decisions of the original Egizia, and adds new depths of strategy, balance, and gameplay, for a fresh twist on a timeless classic.

Noi aventuri de la Ryan Laukat:

Welcome to Arzium, land of ancient civilizations, bizarre creatures, unexplained wonders, and vibrant characters.

A great sleeping sickness has spread across the land, sending every type of creature to roam for hundreds of miles in a dazed, incoherent march. It’s your job to seek them out and wake them from their sleepwalk, recruiting them to help you find even more lost souls!

In Roam, you and up to three friends compete to find lost adventurers. There are over 50 unique, tarot-sized adventurer cards in the game, featuring characters from Near and Far, Above and Below, and Islebound. The opposite side of each card depicts a landscape split into six squares, and two rows of three of these cards are placed in the center of the playing area to make the board.

Each turn, you may activate one of the adventurer cards in your party by flipping the card face down. Activating an adventurer allows you to place search tokens on the board in the shape depicted on your adventurer card. When every square on a landscape card has been searched, the player who did the most claims the card, finding the lost adventurer and adding them to their party. Each adventurer you add to your party gives you points and a new search pattern that you can use.

When searching, you also claim coins, which can be spent to use special actions or purchase artifacts with useful powers. When one player has ten adventurers in their party, the game ends, and the player with the most points wins.

Rome and Roll: un joc nou de David Turczi, pe Kickstarter anul viitor.
Contine desenat pe harta.

64 AD: Rome is burnt to cinders, in need of rebuilding. With the city weakened, distant settlements across the empire refuse to pay taxes and need reminding of power of Rome.
Emperor Nero gathers the most influential members of the city with a clear task: rebuild Rome and recapture the settlements. Each player will utilise their asymmetric abilities to do so and earn wealth along the way in this new, interactive, heavy roll and write game.

Players draft from a pool of custom dice to collect resources and special icons that allow them to build buildings - by drawing onto the map of the Seven Hills of Rome, Tetris-style -, collect legionnaires, invade rogue settlements, or build the famous network of Roman Roads to the already pacified ones. Trading resources and other abilities might earn them coins, building Shrines will allow them to utilise the Favours of the Gods, and careful interaction with other players will surely lead one of them to victory!

Wow... Tocmai ma gandeam cand am jucat Neom ca mi-e dor de Surburbia. L-am jucat putin live, mai mult pe app contra AI-ului, dar chiar imi place. Sunt curios ce pret va avea, dar are mari sanse sa-mi intre in colectie!

ETA: Pe site-ul beziergames zice $100. https://beziergames.com/collections/hot ... rs-edition
Poate pe Kickstarter va fi ceva mai ieftin... Dar totusi cred ca mi-l iau, avand in vedere ca include si extensiile.

You are a painter in Couleurs de Paris, and you've decided to participate in "Bateau Lavoir", a friendly competition between several painters in a workshop in Montmartre, Paris. The newspapers know about this challenge, so perhaps this is a good opportunity to become famous, following the path of Cézanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet, or Renoir...

Couleurs de Paris is a management game in which you must take care of your paint tubes, mixtures, and time to create works, all the while anticipating others to perform as needed within a rotating set of actions.
