The Great Zimbabwe

Players act as rival tribal leaders in a logistics-driven economic game set in a precolonial African region. They develop trade networks, produce ritual goods and staff craftsmen to supply and growing set of monuments dedicated to a chosen god. Each player selects one of several gods, each granting a different blessing and victory requirement, and balances investing in technology, craftsmen and resource production against the increased scoring those choices demand. Gameplay centers on optimizing scarce resources, routing goods from producers to monuments, and using turn-order manipulation; each turn grants a single action, so incremental planning and timing determine progress toward higher monuments and victory.

    #55 I really like it. It takes a little bit to explain it, but afterwards it plays quite quick. If everyone thinks a little bit beforehand you can do your turn within 20-30s. But in my second play one player was unable to calculate the costs and therefore was very slow. So it really depends on the players.

    Es abstracto, eso está claro. Y el arte no es demasiado descriptivo de lo que está pasando en el tablero pero quema el cerebro desde el minuto 1 y a veces es lo que necesitas para no estancarte viendo todo el día series lineales de televisión. Un pepino que se puede atragantar.
