As a dice drive board games with Marco Polo as the background, the game interprets the background quite well. The player’s actions in the game mainly include traveling on the map, obtaining orders, completing orders, obtaining resources, etc. These are all common items in German games, and the method of executing actions is also an old friend of German games, worker placement. However, in this game, the workers placed are not Mibao but dice. Using dice with larger dice points can often get greater benefits.
Game Overview
This game also has a good control of the balance brought by the dice points. The balance of this point mainly reflected in three aspects. First, if the player’s dice points are too low, he will directly get camel resources or money compensation. The second point reflected in the cost of placement. When a player needs to place a dice in a position where other players have placed dice, he needs to pay money equal to the minimum number of dice he placed. Therefore, the consumption of dice with small points will also be much smaller when placed. Third, players can directly use camel resources to interfere with the points of the dice. A camel can re-roll once. Two camels can add one point. Three camels can even directly get a new dice. However, although so many intervention measures are given, if the luck is extremely bad, it will still bring a bad game experience. It is also the natural attribute of dice games. However, after many revisions, the impact is not so great.
Features of Dice Drive Board Games
With the two characteristic mechanisms of the game: dice placement and variable player ability, the replayability of the game has been greatly improved. Not only will the process of each game be different, but even the game experience will be completely different. The development tendency of each different character is completely different, so the playing style is also completely different. Coupled with the random distribution of the town reward version in the game, the variables of each game are huge. Therefore, many players are happy to repeat this game.
Summary
Whether it is a dice drive board games or a German game, this is a very good choice. Both the replayability and strategy are excellent. The game’s weight is 3.2. However, since the mechanism actually adopted by the game is still a variation of worker placement, these weights are more reflected in specific actions rather than the rules of the game itself. So the difficulty of getting started may actually be a little lower than “The Castles of Burgundy”. Therefore, it is also a good choice for new players. Both new and old players should not miss it.
