Palaces of Carrara Review

[@marcodissa]

I really, really enjoyed this game! I didn't play the original version neither, and I really like how Kramer&Kiesling's games can be both relatively easy to approach, but still so much deep. I'm not a fan of "take that", and Carrara has the right amount of (mostly) indirect interaction I seek. You know exactly what to do but you have to understand when it's the best moment, constantly looking at what other players are aiming at. Brilliant game! And, of course, the Italian setting is a plus 🇮🇹

Glad you are enjoying it! Kramer & Kiesling are good at low complexity/high depth, with nice player interaction. It was a big surprise for us, and one I was really happy to play!

Oh wow! Blast from the past! I like to comment before I watch so I can be surprised! This, Queen's Architect, and Gold West were some of my favorite games for a time (before I found solo gaming and mid weight euros were my sweet spot). I wonder if they would still hold up today? I feel like I would still like all 3 but maybe not as much as I did since I've played so many more games now. Can't wait to see what you two think!

Yeah, this was before our board game journey started, so our first experience of it! :D

I heard new version is not that better than the original production wise, so I got a 2nd hand copy of the first edition. still haven't tried it yet though

[@marcodissa]

Maybe you already know, but in the 2nd edition there are some little changes in the rules (like the conditions to end the game), and the new advanced mode with the statues that adds a final scoring based on majorities.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hope you'll like it! I do not know how big the changes are, but if the advanced version is part of the second edition, I will personally say that it's a few step up for the game!
