What is Argent: The Consortium

The time has come for the selection of a new Chancellor at Argent University of Magic, and you are among the likely candidates for the job. Gather your apprentices, ready your spellbook, and build your influence, while secretly discovering and competing over the votes of a limited Consortium of influential board members. Only the one who is able to fulfill the most criteria will claim the title of most influential mage in the World of Indines!

Argent: The Consortium is a cutthroat worker-placement/engine-building game of manipulation and secrecy in which the criteria for victory are secret and the capabilities of your opponents are constantly changing. You'll need to outwit the other candidates, use your spells at the right moment, and choose the correct apprentices to manage your plan.

Argent: The Consortium is a European-style game that minimizes luck and focuses on player interaction and strong core mechanisms that allow new strategies to emerge each time you play.

The designer keeps an updated Official Errata/Typo/FAQ thread on BGG.

I thought I'd hate "interaction" here but love this game. Replayability is high yet overrated since rooms' sides are not that different from each other.

colocación de trabajadores y combos a mil, está bien, pero no es un gran juego, me pregunto porque jugar a Argent y no jugar a juegos de colocación de trabajadores más desarrollados como Agrícola y Caverna. Argent es un juego curioso, muchas cosas que hacer, pero tiene algunas pegas, el poder de los magos rojos que revienta cualquier estrategia y tener que andar revisando las condiciones de Victoria que son distintas para cada jugador. La parte de deducción no me pareció interesante ni evocativa. El resto del juego está mucho mejor, el problema es que creo que existen mejores alternativas, p
