What the community says about 2 de Mayo
Really great two player game. It seems at the beggining to be unbalanced, but it is not. Both sides have a very difficult task. The look of the game is great, and it captures somehow the heroicity of the day.
Juego de acciones simultáneas con una ambientación insuperable. Es para dos jugadores, y las partidas se juegan rápido (30-40 minutos). Básicamente se trata de que el Francés consiga eliminar a los españoles antes del turno 10 (sin perder cuatro unidades y colocando al menos una fuerza francesa en cada puerta de Madrid). Además conocí al diseñador en el IV encuentro nacional de juegos de mesa. Un tipo interesante.
Un diez para el diseño y la ambientación, aunque me da la impresión de que se toma partido del lado monárquico. El juego no está mal, pero me resulta demasiado corto.
