Amazonas

2005 · Exploration

Amazonas

Players lead expeditions through a 19th-century tropical jungle, laying path and river connections between villages to establish outposts. Movement and route-building determine how quickly each village is reached, while hazards like crocodiles and jaguars affect travel options and planning. Outposts cost more the longer a village remains unconnected, so players balance speed against risk and limited funds. Each player also has a secret objective to complete for additional points. The game resolves by scoring connected networks, fulfilled secret directives, and the efficiency of exploration.

    #NetworkBuilding #SetCollection Too much turns where you can't do anything. Normally you save money for 1-2 turns then you spend it in one turn and then you start saving again. Really boring.
