Newton

Players take the roles of aspiring scientists in the Scientific Revolution, traveling across Europe to visit cities and universities, study, build instruments, discover theories and earn income. The game runs over six rounds; each round players play five cards from hand to activate actions on the board. Actions vary by location and board symbols, and one card must remain on the board at round end—boosting that action but foregoing the card for future use. Players acquire new cards to expand their options and score points through discoveries, research, and development. Final scoring after six rounds determines the winner.

    No, no, no. Just no. Multiplayer-Solitaire garbage at its best. The only thing that prevents you from playing simultaneously is the buying card part and who gets the little boni first. Very boring and dry euro game.
