2015 · Fantasy

Celestia

Players take turns as the captain of a flying vessel and press their luck to reach successive cities and claim treasures. Each round the captain rolls 2–4 dice to reveal hazards (fog, lightning, birds, pirates) and must play matching equipment cards to continue the trip. Other players secretly choose whether to stay aboard for a chance at more valuable prizes or to disembark and lock in the current city’s treasure points. If the captain fails to meet the challenges, the trip ends in disaster and everyone on board scores nothing. Play proceeds through multiple voyages until a player reaches the target treasure total and wins.

    Es inevitable comparar #Celestia con el clásico #Diamant y conozco a muchos detractores de este juego que lo tachan de copia. Para mi, #Celestia es una mejora enorme respecto a #Diamantes ya que la partida no depende únicamente del azar siendo muy importante la gestión de la mano. Además, entre las cartas se encuentran acciones especiales que son muy interesantes y hacen que la partida sea muchísimo más divertida. Actualmente resulta complicado encontrar este juego en tienda, pero os animo a seguirle el rastro. Este juego es uno de los que mayores buenos recuerdos y risas me ha dado de entre todos los que tengo en mi ludoteca, por lo que le tengo un camino especial tanto al barquito volador como a la ciudad de Meiji.
