San Juan Board Game Review - Still Worth It?

[@bushibayushi]

I love that the Polish second edition of San Juan comes in a tiny box (even smaller than the original Jaipur). It makes for a great travel game.

We sometimes play it with 14 cards end game condition because we feel 12 is too short ...

6:21 Please give some warning before winking at me like that mate, I nearly couldn't hide my semi in public

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Only a semi?

[@harveydents]

@@BoardGameBollocks BRag!

Played PR once, didn’t really like it. Did, however, enjoy SJ, for exactly the reasons you described. Easier and faster play, more interesting decisions. PR takes too long to get going IMO.

Great review. Owned it for 20 years and will play it any time.

I have tried this one and really liked the gameplay, but the theme is as exciting as a tory party conference and the artwork looks like its from those 1980s Bibliobus books from school. Good game, but looks wank.

See you next Tuesday....nice!

[@Paarskoningkonijn]

Nice review! This is one of my gaming group all time favorites. I have a slightly different version I think. The cards look different in yours

[@mikaelpelletier1954]

I agree, San Juan is still relevant those years when you don’t want to digest Race and you like Puerto. However, the dragging and frustration that could come along with it limits the number of straight games we want to play. Like one game is enough as a longish filler.

[@jasstan3191]

Still play this regularly. Way easier than Race for the Galaxy, plus really don't do space themed stuff. Thats for super nerdy geeks only. I just like to play reasonably easy games.

[@pothocket]

Still worth it? No, because Race for the Galaxy exists. All you need to do is learn an entire new language of symbols and you're good to go!

Bollocks!- San Juan is superior

Check the video description mate 😂

[@JanusZudnik]

An acquaintance did a Root re-theme on this one, available via BGG

[@BoardGameBollocks]

What’s BGG?

[@harveydents]

@@BoardGameBollocks yeah i was gonna ask that myself?
