La Villa

De este juego solo puedo hablar bien. Es junto con el Agrícola uno de los juegos con los que me inicié en este mundo y rápidamente me sedujo. Es un juego muy versátil, consigue atrapar tanto a jugones como a noveles. En fin, un juego que entra en seguida por el ojo. En el apartado de las críticas, decir que quizá le falta un quinto jugador, y algunas cartas que le dieran un poco más de factor sorpresa. Decir esto es ventajista ya que cuando escribo esta reseña, sé que hay un extensión que soluciona estas dos cuestiones, y como en breve será aquí reseñada, esperamos pues. Juego para tener siempre en la ludoteca esperando a esos amigos que vienen a cenar a tu casa, y que seguramente se presten a echar una partidaca. http://mesasdejuegos.blogspot.com.es/2013/06/la-villa-real-como-la-vida-misma.html

Actions are taken by removing a resource cube from an action area, adding it to your supply, then sometimes sending a worker to stand on the board, and sometimes requiring you to move your "time" marker around the track on your personal board. When the time counter makes a full rotation, the worker with the lowest number stickered on him dies. Having a worker die while manning certain action areas results in your getting victory points at the end of the game. Each action area has a limited number of grave spaces associated with it, so once they are full, additional dead workers only serve to accelerate the endgame timer. Every area of the board is it's own little mechanism for points, with those mechanisms being only loosely tied to each other. There's a decent tension early in the game you want to get the most out of your pawns, but you also need to kill them fast enough to ensure they score. As the game goes on and spaces fill up, the core game tension lessens and you just focus on finishing our your plans to the best of your ability. It's an interesting game idea, with some very unique elements that could have really been something special if it the different areas of the board could have been tied to each other a little more, or if the tension of play had been a little more consistent across sessions. ★ 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

Little bit unbalanced actions. Travelling doesn't seem to be great.
