Wonderfully varied strategy game with must-have extension

Sure, games are a matter of taste. That's why I open this recession coincide with a "This game may also like, if you like Dominion and settlers".
Honestly could not find 'I' Kingdom Builder "the first 2-3 times so special. In direct comparison with Dominion or settlers a round can be over and in every train is not necessarily as much tactical calculus be plugged, as in some other board game (no, it provides three wooden houses on's board and well-being) very quickly.

But: The very fast way of playing makes many players fun. One is always quickly turn and the round will not be bored.
In addition to play here like to have a second and third round, while usually looks at the end of a settler-game at the clock, startled notes that already "soooo late" and the players chasing home ;-)

Kingdom Builder has become our new favorite game. By changing landscape maps, changing scorecards and changing promos every game is completely different. TIP: I also recommend nor the nomadic expansion with new assessment cards that are partially not at the game end, but after every train. This brings an extra swing into play again.

Small drawback: to look for the right for 4 quadrant location tiles out and place it on the game board takes (especially if you have a nomadic expansion with even more local platelet his own calls) felt exactly as long as the whole game and is usually an annoying matter.
We have started to leave the location tiles in the box and to use only the "Survey location tiles", which is placed on the game edge. So you have indeed always consider what promotions we must do, but at least the start of the game is delayed each time too.

For Nomads extension:
===================

This extension provides the ability to embed a player more, more landscaping maps and more evaluation cards come into play.
Of particular interest: Additions include assessment cards that give not only the game-end points, but after each train! This brings an extra swing into play.
I play Kingdom Builder now prefer having two "end" -Bewertungs cards and an "every round" -Bewertungs card.

Small drawback:
Through the added nomads fields (similar to the local fields with a special promotion that may be, however, done only once in the next train; not every round) and their local platelets that must be placed at game start on the game board, are quite a bunch. Before each game begins, it takes 5-10 minutes, the platelets rauszusuchen 4 groups that are needed in the game.
We now have the location tiles put aside and leave it in the box - they built first or runner-up at a local field, you have to stop in the next round remember and can read from the Switchboard local tile on the edge of the game board, Promotions which one can perform. That's less annoying, as always the constant platelet Raussucherei before each game starts.
