Really enjoyed playing this (3 games back to back) It would be lovely to have the rules and player aids reformated to fold into a card size so they'll fit into a small box with the cards (please!)

We weren't clear on the rules for a couple of things, Valley of the Guardians - what decides if things are connected? Do mountain and rivers separate areas? Close neighbours - seems very unlikely to score more than 9/12 on this, so a net gain of -1 or 2 points makes it undesirable to choose. Maybe 2 points per square works better? Land of plenty - do you lose 10 points before scoring it too?

Thanks for a beautiful game!

Thanks for playing! Card sized rules & player aid are a good idea. I'll give that a look once I have some time to revisit this.

To answer your rules questions:

Valley Guardian: Connected just means spaces that touch each other in a group. For the purposes of Valley Guardian, only mountains separate the groups.

Close Neighbors: This scores in square number increments (so, 1/4/9/16/25). You're right that it's probably not worth it if your biggest square is only 3x3, but a 5x5 can be very juicy.

Land of Plenty: You do lose 10 points for this one, yes.

Thanks for the reply, we've played this so much in the last few days and I've gifted it to 2 people already. It's a game, really pretty and satisfying. Please add to BGG so I can review, and perhaps think about expanding it! Please!

Good to know there's interest in an expansion. That's definitely a possibility!

Thanks! Review written. I actually think you're underselling it calling it a microgame. It's a fully fledged game in a compact form. Please do expand!

Porfavor haz una expansion para este hermoso y entretenido juego espero veas este mensaje.

Y no estaria mal que tradujeras las reglas al español

Gracias por las palabras simpaticas! No se cuando podria hacerlo, pero tengo algos ideas pequeñas para una expansion. Traducciones de las reglas estan posibles tambien, pero necesitaria ayuda con estas

Enzogaleas1 year ago

De nada, ojala esas ideas para una expansion se hagan realidad (la esperare con ansias).

Sii ayudaria mucho que tradujeras las reglas al español ya que el traductor de google no siempre es tan correcto y por lo menos p as ra mi fue un problema poder entender algunos textos.

Muy agradecido de que repondieras y de que tengas las sugerencias en cuenta.
