Un abstract interesant:

There are still a lot of mysterious things that we have to learn, especially when it comes to rocks and minerals. An exciting journey to unravel nature pieces of art hidden deeply under the words surface awaits! Are you ready for it?

In Minerals, players will move around the board, that they've created during setup while gathering different types of titled minerals - depending on their pick, they will receive for those a specified number of victory points along with the same amount of movement points. Set collection aspect presented in the game will allow them to gather even more points. Sometimes they will use their valuable minerals to activate action cards to make even more strategic movements. The game board is depleting all the time, meaning that players should plan their moves, since this will be limiting their choices every turn while indicating how much closer they get to the end of the game. Their goal is to gather the minerals of the highest values and gain as many points as possible!

Magdalena Śliwińska is both the designer of a fantastic artwork as well as the mechanics of this game. She's graduate of an Art Academy in Katowice, that's why Minerals are both excellent as a board game as well as a piece of art.

Finalul trilogiei de tile laying cu polyominoes se incheie cu:

Spring Meadow is the grand finale of Uwe Rosenberg’s puzzle trilogy following 2016’s Cottage Garden and 2017’s Indian Summer. The complexity of the game is set in between the two games and fans of the trilogy will find familiar elements combined in an innovative way.

The first delicate flowers herald the end of a harsh winter. The sun shines longer day by day and pushes the snow back. Lush meadows bloom and curious marmots slowly awake from hibernation. Finally, spring is coming into the mountains. The perfect time for a hike.

Choose your route carefully, watch out for the burrows of the marmots, and pack enough snacks. Your chances to earn an edelweiss hiking pin are rather low if you sit hungry in the snow.

In Spring Meadow, the most interactive game of the trilogy, the player who earns their second Hiking Pin during scoring wins the game. When these scorings will happen is determined by the player's selection of Meadow tiles from a central game board. The Hiking Pin goes to the player with the largest meadow during the scoring.

Place your Meadow tiles with 0-2 holes skillfully on your Mountain board to receive extra tiles when creating or expanding groups of holes. Find your way around the burrows of the marmots because they can restrict you during tile placement.

New puzzle challenges are guaranteed with 172 tiles in 49 shapes.

A traveler wanders through the South American highlands and brings the inhabitants new ideas from his travels. Anyone who meets him can take advantage of these assets. A public trading point makes it possible to obtain rare goods in exchange for opals. And a variety of fortunes adds even more diversity to life among the mountain ranges in Bolivia and Peru.

With Altiplano: The Traveler, the planning of moves in Altiplano becomes more important and accessibility to resources becomes more interactive. Above all, the assets that may be purchased from the traveller open up completely new ways to increase one's own wealth. But unforeseen fortunes sometimes demand spontaneous decisions which influence planning.

Thus, the drive for success in this inhospitable region turns into a completely new challenge! Who's prepared for this?

Ceva retro de la Hans im Gluck: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/260757/lift

1950/1960: The race into space is in full swing! We're making great progress on the techniques for supplying astronauts and space-ready machines, for optimizing launch conditions, and of course for designing the much-needed rockets. All this to explore the sheer vastness of space.

But in Lift Off, not only are two superpowers competing for the most glorious milestones of space travel, no, we players are also very involved. In this game, we each play a private space agency that wants to develop in their own areas. We must hire specialists, improve our rockets, and expand our capabilities because soon we have to decide which missions we want to carry out and what we want to bring into space. Only those who plan ahead and properly manage the resources available will win this race to the stars...

Un worker placement ce arata deosebit si suna promitator: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame ... otten-city

Nested within a fantastical grove of giant trees lies a forgotten city where you find yourself. When you wake up, fairies help you on your path to remembrance by recollecting memory fragments, bringing about miracles, stopping the nightmares, and creating lasting imprints within your own memories.

The Forgotten City is a 2-4 player strategic city-building game. There are three major ways to score points, and players may sequence their actions to optimize for a path from the very start. Through limiting the number and types of actions in certain
situations, the game pushes players to focus sharply on optimal decision-making, yet encourages players to choose divergent strategies, creating a tight, brain-burning experience.

Un joc nou de la dlp games, a carui coperta a generat multe discutii aprinse pe BGG: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/20 ... -confusion

The Canadian province of Manitoba is wild, fascinating, and almost without any limits: countless lakes, majestic mountains, a vast tundra in the north and endless prairies in the south. Manitoba — a country whose name derives directly from Manitou, the big spirit of creation of the American natives.

In Manitoba, players become clan leaders of the Cree tribe and try to become the chieftain of them all, but this is not easy as they have to cope with the capriciousness of nature and must provide material as well as spiritual richness for their clans.

In the course of the seasons, everyone has to consider several things: When and where do I plan to get active in the hunting grounds of Manitoba? Or would it be better now to emphasize spiritual development and walk on mystical paths? How can I exchange and exploit my resources cleverly? Players can also manipulate the wooden disks of the totem to influence the possibilities of all players strongly. Many situations demand wise decisions...

Un amestec de mecanici intr-un setting spatial de la doi designers cu antecedente bune: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame ... -freighter

It's been almost one hundred years since the Scorpius system was settled. Over the decades, the Government has taken control of everything. Tens of billions of Sentients live in Scorpius with no hope of advancement, no hope of escape — except that not everyone in the Government toes the line.

Some still believe in freedom. A few bold freighter captains use the system against itself, handling their sanctioned job duties...as well as a lot of extracurricular activities like smuggling restricted medicines, passing censored information, and facilitating transactions below the Government radar. They are fueling the revolution.

And the revolution is coming.

In Scorpius Freighter, you are a rebellious freighter captain smuggling goods and information to thwart the oppressive government.

Recruit crew: From the back alley brute to the elite educated, they are the best at what they do.
Customize ships: Outfit your standard sanctioned freighter with hidden holds and an upgraded cockpit.
Smuggle goods: Conduct illegal transactions while dodging the authorities.

To rebuild the Eternal City, the Roman Emperor summoned the most talented builders of antiquity. Each of them is trying to create the best draft — but talent is not enough in this city.

Dl. Friese revine la jocuri economice. Fingers crossed! https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame ... /futuropia

In Futuropia, Friedemann Friese's big utopian economic game for 1-4 optimizers, players live in a future Utopian society that possesses desirable lifestyle qualities for all of its citizens. Too bad this is not today's reality...

In this Utopian society, we all will work much less. Our robots can do nearly everything already. There is no need for great envy. It is simply about equality, justice, and the fair allocation of the complete and still necessary work, which then gives us ALL more leisure time.

Success means we will have time for the activities we like the most: fishing, farming, fencing, flying, ..., as well as gaming, building, painting, traveling, composing, and more. If somebody wants to work more than needed, they should do that. This is about the freedom! So let us rethink this: joblessness is not a disgrace, it is the new goal!

We are members of a team striving to realize this utopian ideal. We try to develop completely self-sustaining homes that function as efficiently as possible. They must generate enough food and energy to allow the residents the greatest possible freedom (thus, leisure time). The more people in our development who no longer need to work, the closer we are to reaching our goal! The player who builds the best development will win the game, and their development will become reality!

Futuropia is a luck-free economic game. To ensure you always encounter new challenges, we offer multiple game set-up variations, which create a variety of gameplay situations, ensuring new experiences and replayability. The solo game offers you an option to learn the mechanisms and processes of Futuropia before you play it with other players. See our hopeful future in...Futuropia!

Dupa Edo si Rococo, tatal si fiul Malz au ceva nou: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame ... valparaiso

In 1811, free trade is declared for the harbor city of Valparaíso in Chile. A short time later, Chile proclaims its independence. As an influential citizen of Valparaíso, you want to push the development of your city, so you send merchants into the hinterland to get hold of important export goods and send your ships overseas to gain new achievements there.

To do well in Valparaíso, you must plan well ahead, keep an eye on your opponents, and react to their actions at short notice. Almost any action influences the other players by changing costs or trading possibilities. Each building of a house must be given a lot of thought, every trade must be well-timed. Whoever wants to change the order of their initial planning during the course of the game must pay a penalty, but if your plans aren't good enough, time will slip away — in the short run as well as in the long run. You all plan simultaneously, and the end of the game may come sooner than you've hoped!

For advanced players who like planning while pressed for time, the game includes a variant using a sand timer.

In fiecare an astept cu sufletul la gura jocul de dificultate medie spre mare de la Pegasus.
Anul acesta avem: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame ... rown-emara

Good times in the tiny kingdom of Emara: During the reign of King Thedorius the Wise, wars, uprisings, and other inconveniences became a thing of the past. Thedorius always cared more for the well-being of his subjects than for power or riches. Therefore, only the nobleman who is able to care for Emara's citizens as well as Thedorius himself did shall become Thedorius' successor and wear the Crown of Emara.

To test the skills of all aspirants, Thedorius and his counselors issue a challenge of practical use: Whoever can persuade the majority of the newly arrived citizens in the capital to support their claim shall become the future king of Emara. To achieve this, players have to cater to the citizens' needs and — most importantly — offer proper housing for everyone. This means that promoting the building activities in town will be one of the major tasks of the candidates.

Crown of Emara skillfully combines card actions with worker movement actions, allowing players to plan their turns carefully during their downtime. The two counselors available to every player move in two separate roundabouts, requiring players to optimize every move. Additionally, two scoring tracks lead to a multidimensional playstyle as only the lower score counts towards victory and thus both tracks have to be advanced equally.

Anul acesta, Feuerland Spiele publica un medium weight sci-fi: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame ... magnastorm

When the first exploration vessels entered the cloudy atmosphere of the planet Magnastorm, they discovered not only evidence of abundant natural resources, but also the remains of a long-lost civilization. At the bidding of the magistracy, scout vehicles are lowered to the barren surface to search for suitable mining areas.

The goal of Magnastorm is to be the first player with a certain number of reputation points. You acquire reputation mostly through fulfilling objectives, taking control of one or more of the eight commanders, and building transmitter stations. The flow of the game is controlled by an action board with two action panels, each of which has five columns. At the start of each round, there are a 3-5 action tokens (crew members) standing in each column on the upper action panel. To carry out an action, a player:

A) takes an action token from the upper panel and places it on the lower action panel either to gain resources or to pay for a movement on the planet surface, or
B) pays for every action token still standing in a certain column on the upper panel to gain control over the commander and his ability at the top of that panel, after which the player places those action tokens on the lower panel.

Since option A) will reduce the cost for option B), the players have to find the right timing for their actions. A round ends when the upper panel is empty. For the next round, the panels are swapped.

Magnastorm is a big, tactical board game with very little luck. Choose the right moment to perform actions or buy influence over helpful commanders. You will reap success through resource management, clever logistics, good timing, and a shrewd eye on the actions of your opponents. At the end of the game, each player receives one of 120 reward cards, which can be used in later games to compensate for varying levels of skill among the players.

Un joc despre farming si ceai: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/248900/ceylon

During the second half of the nineteenth century in what was then Ceylon, today known to all as the nation of Sri Lanka, a deadly fungus killed off all the coffee plantations on the island thus causing a serious economic crisis. The Scot James Taylor, and later many other entrepreneurs, set about substituting coffee plantations for tea plantations and hence creating what many connoisseurs today consider to be the best tea in the world.

In Ceylon, players take on the role of the pioneers who developed the Ceylon tea industry. As such, they build plantations in different districts and at different altitudes. They produce tea and try to sell it to the most important export companies. To favor this task, they must win the favor of the counselors of each district and develop the necessary technology that allows them to get ahead of their competitors.

At the end of the game, players score points for having plantations in each district, for meeting demands that have been set, for the level of technological development reached, and for the amount of money collected. In the end, the player who has the most points wins.
