Review: Strategic and fun to play! - A nice introduction to people who only wants to play chess. Better yet, introduce them to Century: Eastern Wonders (which would be more chess-like). Pros - East and fast to learn. - Easy and fast to teach. - Fast to setup and play. Easy to tweak for even a shorter game. For 2 players, can be less than 30 minutes. - Fun and exciting to play! Executing your trading plans, getting those point cards, competing with other players for the cards, etc. really makes this game fun. - Flows smoothly. Doesn't feel too heavy. But if you just want to relax after a long day at work, I'm not sure if this is the game you want, you're probably better with Coloretto. - Interactive, mainly because of the competition and race on the cards. - Very high replayability, mainly because of the race and competition against your opponents. There are different ways to execute your plan based on the cards that appear in a game. - Very strategic. No luck in this game. The player who thinks ahead and builds his cards correctly will win the game. - Very simple design, but with tons of replayability and strategy. The designer also designed Reef, which is another simple game. Neutral - To me, while this game is fantastic and better than Splendor, I prefer Century: Eastern Wonders (C:EW) because it feels more strategic and thus more rewarding. You have to be more calculated in C:EW, I really felt like I was traveling by boat, harvesting, and trading, all as part of a planned sequence, which if executed is very satisfactory and feels like you achieved something, it also feels very thematic. Here in C:SR however, due to the lack of spatial element in the game, it feels like a very dry game, like an improved version of Splendor. You can execute the harvest and trade anytime you want, no need of careful planning. You will never be locked out in this game, as you can always just take back all your cards. Cons - Components. The inserts doesn't fit sleeved cards, they also overflow. I don't understand the gigantic cards used here, why not just stick with the usual 63.5x88mm or even the smaller 57.5x89mm cards. This one has unnecessary 70x120mm cards with pictures that you don't even look at while playing. The gold and silver coins look the same. On the other hand, the box itself has a nice quality. - Not much theme. If you want more theme, buy Century: Eastern Wonders instead. - Since there is not much luck in this game, if you lose more times across multiple games than your opponent, you can't blame someone for being lucky, you just have to admit that the winner is smarter than you :)
Review: Great Game - One of my favorite games. Easy set up, easy to learn. Very stragic strategy to win the game. Have taught several families to play this game. They have another one called "Golems" girls seem to like it more because it was Jewels instead of cubes. But it's the same game. I have literally bought 8 of these and given as gifts. Great replay value. And for $40 or under is a steal. Fun for up to 5 players. Art and quality of the pieces are great. Highly recommend this for all ages.
