Despite the theme I liked the game - Rococo: A well-made game author in friendly graphical presentation

Video on Amazon.com watch a game in which you take on the role of a tailor who must tailor dresses and skirts for a ball at the French court - seriously? The issue has put me off really long. Clearly it is relatively unused, but tailor clothes ??? VLT. goes some others like me that she keeps the theme of the game. But who is a fan of classic Euro-Games should take a look at Rococo definitely, because it is after all, a well-made.

I once created a video in which I show the game, the game play, and the material again, so you roughly an impression gets of what to expect there, even if I really give in the 10 minutes Only a brief overview can. Everything is explained in detail in the temporarily impossible.

The game as a whole is very solid and well made. Above all, the graphical presentation of Michael Menzel is very well done and captures the subject a well. One might even be able to take any other x-arbitrary topic (craftsmen build ships, etc.), but above all by the graphic design to get really quite well in the 'Clean. Otherwise the game features mainly known elements that have been fairly well linked together.

*** What is it really real? ***
In the game you want to get points, prestige points. This gets you for that one great tailors clothes. You get it during the game, to get them at the end for tailored garments, for majorities in the five ballrooms, for good seats at the grand fireworks and also during the match.
The engine of the game, the hand of cards that allow a player actions. There are masters, journeymen and apprentices. Not everyone may carry out any action. New Hires (ie new card) can only be hired by the master, may also tailor journeyman, but not every dress and the musicians may eventually every purchase. Most hand cards allow players of playing off an additional action and usually each bonus offer is unique, so I always results in a new gameplay and new strategies by own, acquired in the game cards in hand.

*** *** Actions
Possible actions are on the one hand to change the starting player: This is beneficial in so far as anyone is early, gets to choose early the best goods, clothes, cards, etc.. But he must also pay expensive. Who buys later, buys usually cheaper, so you can often not be the first player to the detriment live quite well.

One needs to tailoring raw materials, ie certain cloth or yarn or lace. This you can buy in the store. Again, who buys early more choice, but expensive purchases. If you take a raw material platelets you have to usually decide whether you want to have yarn or tip immediately and then the platelet stores, or if you want to later use the towels to sew clothes.

The dress is sewn in a way the central action of the game. If you have the required raw materials together can take a dress from the display. Depending on where it is in the series it's free or quite expensive. Some dresses can be sewn only by the master. After you pay for their raw materials have to decide: Sell or send to the ball. Sold to the dress simply gets money, depending on how valuable the dress is, the more money there. Money is needed quite frequently, so it is often times sell a particularly beautiful dress. Or you send it to the ball Then you choose one of the free spaces in a ballroom, places it there and puts its own marker on it -. Important at the end. Some places can be occupied only by the master of tailored clothes, in some places there is additional money or raw materials, etc.
At the end is seen who has donated the majority in a hall of clothes, one gets again bonus victory points.

In each room there is a musician. For money you can put his property as an action marker on this. This brings one to a Prestige at the end, the other one wins in a draw at the clothes majority. There are also statues that you can buy, a bring certain clothes victory points, and you can take part in the wells, which the player's basic income can be greatly increased. And finally you can multiply on the roof points for clothes in the ballroom of the King at the end yet.

The Master can also buy new cards. This gets you instantly to the hand, so they can play in the current round yet. Again: Who buys early, buys expensive, but it has more choices.

And ultimately you can even "fired" employees. Each card has a cash value, you remove them from his Deck obtained for money and his bonus action can be used again. Good to the deck to detoxify anything.

These were all actions essential. They will play 7 rounds, then the points are added together and counted. I would have never thought about that, I would say this: I would have here really want a external Siepunktleiste where you can enter the same points. This one would have during the game already a rough overview of the points and could better assess where you are and who even VLT. just has the edge. Go to second also quite good, with more players it is rather difficult. Very nice is also the Schedule is printed both sides, even for 2-3 players and one for 4-5 players.

*** My Opinion ***
All in all, I like Rococo significantly better than I expected. It's a very classic Euro-Game. I know people this kind of hate games like the plague - this should take more distance. By far the greater part of the player but loves these types of games very much. Who counts himself this should necessarily strike because Rococo is well done, not too complicated, but a challenge, it looks nice and has a very unused theme, which in turn is a matter of taste. Those who prefer handled with miniature figures on the field and like discharges fights with dice is not happy here, but if you like a bit of planning, his features optimized collects raw materials and converts them into victory points, which should here everything to their heart.
The playing time is different. Five new players who can play the game do not know to spend good times far more than 2 hours with the game, VLT. even more than three. Two experienced players may have played in 60 minutes the game. Especially complicated it is very prone to the players to ponder, especially the last few laps can be very pull.
If the match is a price gain (eg Kennerspiel) then it will EVLT. enter an extension, but really I do not see any need to expand the game. It's good as it is and does not need any extension. Even though I'm someone who prefers Dices and prefers miniatures in play, so I liked this game yet and had fun at the games. As I said, the game offers nothing actually was entirely new all schonmal somehow there, but unlike Pegasus Spiele 55115G - Istanbul, board game, it does not feel at as already 1000x seen exactly. And I think the game really too good.
Because I fear the PD PD012 - Concordia, Brettspielzu is challenging to win the Kennerspiel price I express definitely crossed the Rococo exists Istanbul. The as already 1000x feels namely been exactly there.
The player interaction keeps in bounds here. Raw materials, clothes, tickets you can buy off each other and occupied places that others would like to prove. This is not earth-shattering, but with players of this type, this type of interaction is very common

Conclusion:
If you like this type of game (and that's in Germany, much of the gambling population) Rococo is very like some games. It is a well-made game in which you have to plan in the short term and superior. A game like this has on the experience of recent years a good chance of Kennerspiel Prize. Let us surprise you sometimes, if it gets him.
