Strong buy recommendation :-)
We play regularly, among other things, the large, well-known board games. Some of us are so "Dolle" in Essen that they have to leave game exhibition and spend several days there ..
This game was a gift one of those "crazy game" .. for under 10 euros, and sometimes just to play ..
Port Royal there for some time and was available under a different name. Now it is up Port Royal and sounds right times to Caribbean ..
Game goal
here to grab the most boiling. This is not a cooperative game ..
How to get to destination
Well, it is to compete against pirates to load the boat with certain important depending on gameplay and characters to meet orders.
The or the one of / the twelve or more victory points reached triggers a final round. Then everyone else is off again and then the game and it is the highest victory score determined.
When the game starts everyone gets three cards representing gold, characterized by a coin on the back. One after pulling cards from the deck until you want to uncover any more cards. But be careful: one discovers two same boat tickets on the train to the end, you get no money and can buy a map. The closest is tuned .. you actually pulled the Popokarte :-)
Are at play
Contracts - are placed first aside and can after completing the conditions, are carried out
Characters - even bring the boiling points or are precisely the conditions for fulfilling the orders. By some characters gets Zusatzfunktioneren you that are of interest and to which you have a certain Tatik can lie back.
Ships - by this card you get depending on the ship 2-4 Gold
Tax year - The Treasury plays with and who has the same or more than 12 gold, must give half
With uncovering of two identical boats, the train is actually at an end, but by certain characters you can acquire strength and ward off the "attack".
Gold you get through the vessels of gold coins, which one discovers and can take. By luck you can also get more, because if four different ships were pulled, one must take two cards.
In addition to some tactics but is the luck factor even more decisive. Therefore, it makes sense to uncover only times slowly and not to play poker too high .. unless you have a Gladstone Gander character :-)
To get gold is always good at the beginning and then gradually buy meaningful characters, depending on the game.
my opinion:
a relatively easy-to-learn game that I expect to kurzweiligeren games. It must be kept no tactical discussions, each card can a mess everything, but it is great fun and is playing away quickly ..
The game equipment is standard. Nothing ergonomically or Haitian really challenging, a reasonably priced, nicely designed game for a really good price.
Playing time varies, play a few times can be called, perhaps as an average of 30 minutes. It is playable from two players.
