The Oracle of Delphi

My favourite Feld game until date. Original, thematic, fun, interactive and with a great theme and great art.

This is a pickup and deliver game where each turn you roll three dice, and the dice determine your success or failure in terms of being able to make efficient moves. Each round a penalty die is rolled, and if you didn't prepare proper defenses, you take a wound card. Once you have a certain number of those cards, you have to skip a turn which can be harsh. The game has a lot of different ways to mitigate your luck, and some engine building which is nice, but ultimately it's a competent but uninspiring efficiency game. Components-wise, Red and Pink were printed on the tiles to mark them and the color is wayy too close to each other to be functional. The game has reverse sides on the tiles that emphasize symbol over color, but the rulebook doesn't have a mirrored setup diagram, which is incredibly frustrating. ☆ 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
