Lagoon: Land of Druids

Mario López Menésstar5,9

A complex, unique game with outstanding fantasy art. PROS - It is GORGEOUS. - The production quality is amazing. These tiles are by far the thickest I've ever seen. - The baseline rules are pretty simple. - Gameplay is actually amazing when fully grasped, but that can take several games. CONS - The rulebook is not as clear as it should be. - It is heavy, like reeeally heavy. There are lots of possible actions and combinations, and something about the gameplay is not intuitive.

This game is kind of interesting. The idea is you get these little workers who walk around this hex board exploring areas, destroying areas and collecting tokens. There are three icons in the game, and at the end, whichever icon has the most presence left on the hex board determines what tokens and destroyed tiles are worth points. We played 3 player, and it felt like the player in first had a hard time, because he had two other players gunning his progress down. I will say that in 4 player mode, the game uses two teams, so I think perhaps 3p not an awesome player count for this game. The tiles had some interesting effects and combos. I'd play it again, but it didn't blow me out of the water. ★ 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
