Sweet Lands

Gabriel Trujillostar7.0

I’ve played Sweet Lands three times and enjoyed it, but I found several issues that make me reluctant to propose another game. 1. It is a long game. Even with three experienced players, our games lasted more than three hours. This would not normally be a major problem, but combined with the other points, it became something I did not enjoy. 2. The interaction is fairly limited. There are many available actions, but I rarely felt that I had to compete with the other players for them. Most of the time, you want to play your cards because they are usually your best possible actions. As a result, the game sometimes felt like multiplayer solitaire. Once you increase your gold income, you can play almost independently from the other players. 3. Your path is largely determined by your character. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but most of the strategy seems to come from exploiting your character’s abilities, which is usually not particularly difficult. I do not think the game is very complicated. It has many different elements, but it was easy to teach and easy to learn. In my first game, I almost reached 500 points, so I checked the rules twice to make sure we had not played something incorrectly. However, in the second game, another player scored around 440 points. It felt as though we had not found the game’s supposed complexity, because we almost always knew what the best move was. The only time I scored significantly fewer points was when I tried to do something different and explore another strategy.
