Jocuri noi 2019

Roads and boats si extensia la Food CHAIN magnate se pot precomanda la Regat aparent, dar OMG ce sunt preturile alea? Asa de scumpe sunt jocurile de la Splotter?

Fa o reclamatie

[adelindumitru]

Ce reclamatie? Sunt doar surprins de preț, nefiind obișnuit cu cele de la splotter

[DanielIndru]

Nimeni nu se obisnuieste cu ele vreodata.

[Miţã]

Grafica este oribila

[thenede]

Desi in general Splotter face jocuri uratele, grafica cartilor Food Chain nu e rea - harta intr-adevar e destul de urata, iar The Great Zimbabwe nu e rau vizual deloc.
Intr-o zi vor descoperi si arta tiparitului pe spatele cutiei...

Un fel de Snowdonia pentru doi jucatori:

The men who built the railways arrived with sound boots and got their shovels on credit; they were issued tickets, in payment for their work, which could be spent at the Tommy Shop or (more likely) on beer! As a ganger, or foreman, you are responsible for your own team of navvies as they travel through Mid and North Wales: digging the track beds, laying the rails, and occasionally helping a passenger or two along their way. Foothills lets you participate in grand-scale railway construction while paying attention to the small details; manage your navvies’ work carefully and you should be able to let them go to the Pub at the end of the day.

Goal of the Game
Using your five action cards cleverly, collect resources, remove rubble, build track and stations, and use the action spaces you unlock, all the while collecting more victory points than your opponent. In the end, the player with the most victory points wins!

Foothills is a tactical and intriguing 1 or 2 player card game from new designer Ben Bateson and the designer of Snowdonia, Tony Boydell.

Retiparirea lui Jaipur in 2019 vine cu alte doua jocuri noi "la pachet":

Jodhpur is a tile-laying game in which players each create their own market, trying to collect lots of elephants and connect tiles of the same color together. The components include a small board, a first player elephant token, and 67 tiles.

There are 3 rows of 5 spaces on the board, one in the middle and one on each player's side. You start with 5 tiles drawn at random and placed on the middle row.
The game consists of a succession of rounds, at the beginning of which 3 tiles are revealed. The first player of that round takes a tile and plays it, then it's the opponent's turn, and then back to the first player. The first player token changes possessor, a new round begins and so on until the end of the game.

When you play a tile, you place it either on an empty slot on your side of the board or on a pile of the center row. Placing it on your side reserves it for future use while placing it in the center usually releases a tile (for you, and sometimes also for your opponent). As soon as a player collects a tile, they must place it in their marker, following a couple of building restrictions.

The game ends when all tiles have been played, and players score according on how many elephants they gathered as well as how skillfully they arranged their market tiles.

Ankhor is a quick-playing resource management game in which each player on their turn either collects three types of tokens (with an ankh being a supplemental resource) or buys a tile from a marketplace and adds this tile to their structure, trying to connect tiles of the same color or bearing the same scarab while doing so. By spending an ankh, you can shift tiles in the marketplace and change the cost and type of goods needed to purchase them.

Each player's structure will have at most thirteen tiles, so don't wait too long to start building!

Bruno Cathala + IELLO = AKKAD

From the award-winning designer Bruno Cathala, Akkad is a game in which you play the role of a gardener aiming to transform the dry desert into the Lost Hanging Gardens of Babylon. To accomplish your mission, you will have to plant flowers, which, if you place them well, can help you gather precious gems and activate actions. Whether to buy Trees (which will block the link between two Flower spots, as well as earning you points) or to purchase upgrades (such as getting two more points per Tree card at the end of the game), collecting gems will be a crucial part of the game. Get them before your opponents, recruit apprentices, send them to earn points in the copses of flowers you have created, block others and think carefully of the upgrades to purchase if you want to become the best gardener at the end of the game!

Pe mine ma duce gandul la Five Tribes, cand privesc jocul asta. Posibil sa nu existe nicimic similar intre ele, doar asa ca prima impresie...

Asa mai merge! Incepusem sa-mi pierd speranta in IELLO
In alta ordine de idei, vad ca au gasit o cale de a recicla florile de la jocul cu ciresu'... era si pacat de ele, heh

O noua extensie pentru Pursuit of Happiness, la finalul lunii februarie pe Kickstarter.

Who says life is short? Life is as big as you want it to be! Every day we get to dream of the stuff we would like to do, places we would like to visit, things we would like to experience.

From the crazy carnival of Rio, to a romantic dinner under the Eiffel tower, to a tour on Liberty island in New York. All you need to do is dream, desire and if you are determined, those experiences will eventually become a reality.

Are you ready to begin your journey? Pack your bags and let's go!

The Pursuit of Happiness: Experiences expansion introduces the concept of dreams. This new mechanism allows players to store cards of any type on their "dream" board, in order to make them a reality later in the game. The expansion also includes a new board to place the new Experience cards and features new actions. Within the Experiences deck, players will find a wide variety of trips and events around the world.

Players also get to have kids, meet new partners, and order services bringing their games to the next level.

Pandemic: Rapid Response

[DanielIndru]

De la designer-ul Ave Roma si Prehistory:

Impression is about the history of printing. You manage your own manufacture to be the most successful in the book printing business. Involves development from Gutenberg to the present.

In your turn you choose to:
Place a tile from the common supply to the typesetter. Now you rotate a rondel according to the number of tiles within the row and column, and the color of the used tile.
Buy a tile from the typesetter. You pay as many coins as the number of the missing tiles in the chosen row and column.
Get coins from the rondels.
Then you can do an order fulfillment phase. You can get new orders, also you can pay resources to make progress with your actual orders.

During your game you develop your own manufacture, get new abilities, collect tiles and fulfill orders. At the end of the game, who has the most victory points, wins.

Imaginea e atroce. A new record in ugliness...

[adelindumitru]

Wow, să le spună cineva producătorilor că e 2019.

[DanielIndru]

Mi se pare complet gresita directia in care o ia jocul asta... dar ce stiu eu...

The Age of Sail has come to New Vigil. The tropical lands that surround the Valley of the Ancients are up for grabs, with gold enough to make yourself king, but also the legendary Crystals of Command: an artifact rumored to give the wearer power to control the land, the seas, and the skies.

In Ascension: Skulls and Sails, players familiar with Ascension will continue to recruit powerful heroes and constructs and defeat monsters as they vie to collect the most honor. However, in addition to using runes and power to control the game, players will use a new resource, crew, to move their ship around the board map. Cast off around the board to gain an advantage over your opponents...or to challenge, Thukal, The Kraken!

And what pirate adventure would be complete without raiding and treasure? Players can use the new Raid ability to capture valuable treasure cards from their opponents.

Take command of your ship and join the adventure. Find gold and glory on the Severed Seas!

cred ca intentia e sa-l transforme, incet-incet, intr-un soi de telenovela cu sute de sezoane in board gaming terms. noi avem trei cutii mari (si mici), prima thanks to you si e o bijuterie de joc, insa e intr-atat de bogat si "replayable" incat pe al treilea nici nu l-am incercat, nu ne-am saturat inca de primele doua. inteleg ca sunt deja 7-8 si ca scot unul in fiecare an, nu?

[VZQ]

inteleg ca sunt deja 7-8 si ca scot unul in fiecare an, nu?

More like 14 - fara collector's editions (din care vreo 11 cutii mari)...

Este (cred) destul de greu sa mai aduci elemente noi si sa pastrezi si povestea la un nivel coerent; personal nu gust deloc tema (pirati, bleah), dar din putinele informatii disponibile, pare a fi un set construit pe ideea de confruntare directa intre jucatori, idee care-mi place mult.
