Les palais de Carrara

Nah, nothing special. I guess this game has a 'rich get richer' problem. As soon as one player gets the more valuable stones he can build on the more lucrative spots and therefor get more money/points and can buy more stone than others... Buildings are hard to distinguish when they have the same background color. I liked the rondel with the stones on it.

Es un juego muy redondo que consigue combinar condiciones muchas veces contrarias. Sencillez con profundidad. Un diseño y unos materiales buenos con un precio aceptable. Es un juego que su tamaño, sus distintos niveles de complejidad y su ilustraciones tan agradables le conceden un grado máximo de versatilidad. Ha sido una grata sorpresa disfrutar de este Kramer. http://mesasdejuegos.blogspot.com.es/2013/09/los-palacios-de-carrara-diseno-italiano.html

Very smooth mechanisms and quick turns. In this game, colored bricks are placed on a rotating wheel. The position and color of the bricks on the wheel dictates the cost of the bricks. Whenever a player buys bricks, the wheel rotates and refills on the next player's turn, which refreshes the selection, but also makes the unpurchased bricks less expensive. With a build action, you discard a number of bricks that match the cost of a building tile, but the color of bricks you use determines which city you are allowed to build in, and they al have different rewards when scoring. The game ends when a player has completed a certain number of the faceup goals, as opposed to a hard timer. Since scoring is an action you have to actually take and not something that just happens to you, the tension stays high and exciting. ★ 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
