Juego de Tronos: El Juego de Tablero (Segunda Edición)

Iván Saninstar8,5

Juego que funciona bien a 6 jugadores. Tengo la expansión Madre de Dragones que en principio corrige esto para poder jugar a menos jugadores y que la partida esté balanceada. En cuanto lo pruebe haré algún comentario. Respecto al juego, poco que decir, el sueño húmedo de cualquier amante del Risk. Control de áreas, conquista y, lo más importante de todo, con un azar reducido a su mínima expresión. Cuesta sacar a mesa por su duración, pero es muy satisfactorio hacerlo, aunque sea pocas veces.

The second edition brings with it lots of subtle re-balancing, which helps the game immensely. It's a tight 'dudes on a map' game where your opponents are at your borders looking for signs of weakness. Expand too far, and your home becomes vulnerable, but don't expand at all, and risk not making any progress. It's a game where you absolutely need to ally with one neighbor and fight the other, but keep your eyes open always for signs of treachery. For the second edition they removed these castle pieces that protected strongholds from horses, but they kept in catapults that are special units used to attack only strongholds. I thought that was a strange choice. I'm also never sure how I feel about Tides of War cards which add a random element to an otherwise calculated combat system. A lot of new, more compelling 'dudes on the map' games have come out in the last few years. Although thinking about this game makes me sentimental, ultimately this game always winds up a turtling contest until the last turn when everyone makes their move. Sure, there's usually a little jockeying back and forth for a spot here or there, but the map creates natural defensible borders, and if players start conflicts too early, they always see their neighbor on the other side move in. I suppose that's thematic, but the game is too long an experience for something that really boils down to 2 important turns right at the end. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ☆ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ☆ Multiple plays stay interesting ★ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★☆☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment
