Awesome episode UDG! Didn't try out this one! Looks exactly like my kinda game! 👏😺

Looks pretty cool. Have you played San Marco? This recently came across my radar and I’ve only found a handful of videos but it looks like an old school streamlined area control using an I cut you choose mechanism with very low rules overhead. Trying to get my hands on a copy now, it looks awesome.

Looks rad! I love how the older games aren't overproduced to hell but still look nice.

Precisely! The aesthetics here are so great. Easy on the eyes. Great artwork. Wooden bits. So pure! They don’t make games like this anymore.

Thanks for the review. I played Manilla from this designer and enjoyed the game very much!

That's awesome! Manila has been on my wishlist forever. That is one Delonge game I have _not_ played yet, but I have always heard good things. Your comment makes me really want to try it! Sadly it's hard to find at a reasonable price. I really like his designs. There's something charming about them. His 2p game Fjords is so fun, but I definitely prefer the original version which is for 2p only. The recent reprint was too overproduced & they changed some rules. I've also enjoyed my limited plays of TransAmerica, Container, & Goldbrau, but I need to explore them more before reviewing them. Thanks for the comment & for being a member! :) :) :)

Why do you think it is rated so poorly for 4p on BGG?
