Coal Baron: The Great Card Game Review

[@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran]

Glad you covered how it played with two-players. I was semi interested in this one, but because I play a lot of games two-player I opted for other games I knew more about. Thanks for another great review.

Kramer and Kiesling have become almost as much of a "must buy" as Stephen Feld has for us. We tried the original Coal Baron a few years ago and were very pleasantly surprised by it. Looking forward to trying this out.

Thanks for reviewing this great game! Quick clarification: at 7:28, the objective card is for contracts instead of shares.

Good catch thanks. Got the terminology cross-eyed there.

I really like this more than the original game. It's very similar to this, but a bit more fiddly, and involves money which this abstracts out. The idea of being able to use a space another player has used by placing one more worker there than they did originated with the board game, but is more interesting here, because the workers on the cards can be added but not separated.

Cool. Ya that jives with what some of my friends said.
