difficult entry

After we "to train train" and "Tikal" really know with "Yspahan" good and relatively cool games to play with strategy factor and love had learned, we ventured to the fledgling "Year of the Dragon" as the blurb on the game box a similar gaming experience promised. While studying the game manual but we were a little unsure. At first glance, namely confuse points as different turn order (the player is not necessarily clockwise "turn") and the vote on the lap or playing. Very disadvantageous we felt (three players) that the individuals who you invite a prince in his palaces, are not presented in the Schedules. Only in the further rules one learns quasi indirectly and by the way, bring the qualifications and benefits the people with him.
Otherwise we realized after the first 3 or 4 rounds that the game play is not yet so complicated, but you need to plan ahead and play so as not to suffer in coming events "losses" to. As the events occur with each new game in a different order, every game will invite new optimization strategies.
All in all, a versatile and in some training discipline nice game. Due to the above points but still only 3 stars.
