The game material is of good quality and beautifully designed. In addition, the theme of the game we like it very much, it is also quite unused.
But the essence, the game mechanism. This consists of two elements for us. Once the bidding and then around it. Bidding is the funniest and best part of the game. They bought about combining dice results shops. But as you get the goods, if you do not get a contract at the end and the number of goods is higher, the higher the final bid, each with increases always. And it makes the auction at a tactical skirmishes with lots of fun, what we have so far seen in any other game. For this, we would give full marks.
The trappings then indulges to change things and move in various ways. Thus, the cube can be manipulated, for example. Warescards exchanged or.
Since each player (presumably) has another goal in his secret objective card at any plays with a slightly different tactic, which makes all very exciting and it is not clear who is at the front.
Grog Iceland is not a short, quick game in-between. For this you would need to decouple quasi bidding (but what an interesting idea for a new game). There is much around that is to be observed and the game are also twists. This is around it but somehow not for everyone. The highlight is and remains the bidding. Overall, a good game in which one has to familiarize himself something. We would recommend it for 3-4 players.
The guide, however, is for a ton. She indulges in nichtssagendem chatter without the rules clearly list.
