Meanwhile, however, I like it, at least enough to give him a place in my collection.
The principle is simple: Each round will be placed at least three compulsory settlements on a game board with hexagonal fields. This determines a map that is drawn per round, on what kind of terrain you can place these settlements. In addition to the field three cards are placed in addition, specify the specific objectives for each game and bring extra points for the Endauszählung.
During the game, it is now important, by building next to certain places that give an additional opportunities to expand its own options, so you have to act and not only build in the frame, the one pretending the solid terrain map
To gain these opportunities and these opportunities also employ clever, makes up the core of the game, since an otherwise dictate the terrain map as a one-way street, as you have to play. But the game will win by any particular depth. Also you can tinker a high number of different game boards together, does not change anything. The game is designed elegantly and smoothly and each round feels the same. Highlights are nowhere.
Ultimately, this is the plus and minus point of the game. So it is not very varied and so it lacks a particular draft as enjoyable it is to play, if you just for in between times and just want to look for have a relaxed half hour without completely shutting down the brain. It is considered less a no-brainer as a low-brainer. Even alone you can play the game very well, if you just play all the parties themselves.
The introduction of new players is correspondingly simple. But it may come as no surprise when I note that the majority will probably find it is not very exciting.
The components are overall very good, justify the price of normally 40 - but not. The settlements are made of painted wood and board components from solid cardboard. The design is so solid but unspectacular as the game itself, but when I think about what I at other table games for the regular price of 40, -. Or even 30, - or 20, - get, Kingdom Builder is quite disappointing in comparison. For the 15, - that I have paid, but I can not complain.
I can play so only conditionally recommended and would encourage to again watch videos to before deciding to buy it, because even though I appreciate it now, I still wonder how Kingdom Builder game of the year are could. I can not imagine that the game in a few years many is still unknown to me.
