About the game

What is At the Gates of Loyang

At the Gates of Loyang is a trading game in which you are able to produce goods by planting them and later selling them to customers. You can use the abilities of some helpers to increase your income or production.

Fields, customers, helpers, and market stalls are represented by cards. Each player receives two of these cards per round distributed by a bidding/drawing mechanism in which you end up with one of the cards you draw and one of the cards of a public offer filled by all players. Additionally to these cards, you always receive one field for free each round.

Placing one good on a field fills the complete field with goods of this type. Each round, one unit per field is harvested. After planting, harvesting, and distributing cards, each player can use as many actions as he wants, only limited by the number of his cards or the number of goods he owns. At the end of his turn, he can invest the earned money on a scoring track, where early money is worth more than late money. The game ends after a certain number of rounds, and the player who is first on the scoring track wins.

Cada jugador es un comerciante que tiene que conseguir dinero para escalar en el track de puntos de victoria. Ese track llega hasta 20. En cada turno, puedes pagar 1 para escalar un puesto y después pagas según lo que te diga el track. Cada turno tiene tres fases. Cosechar, repartir cartas y realizar acciones. En la cosecha consigues vegetales, con las cartas puedes conseguir ayudantes (personajes que te dan ciertas ventajas), clientes habituales, clientes eventuales o mercados. El juego consiste en ir meneando tus mercancías de la forma más óptima para conseguir dinero. Es un juego de gestión

Fun game about "Trueque" or trading stuff, i found it pretty hard to get and you need to plan in advance several turns before.

Juego del maestro de refritos que me ha dado sopor jugarlo...lo jugaría alguna vez si me da por quitarme la vida.

Con solo una partida, buenas sensaciones. Juego de gestion de recursos con una original selección de mano de cartas. Con menos duración que el Agrícola puede que sea una buena elección en alguna sesión jugona en la que se disponga de menos tiempo.
