THE GAME CONCEPT
What is Scripts & Scribes
THE GAME CONCEPT
You are an abbot of a medieval monastery competing with other abbots to amass the greatest library of sacred books. To do so, you need to have both the workers and resources to run a well-functioning scriptorium. To acquire workers and resources, you use a limited supply of donated gold. In addition, you must be on good terms with the powerful bishop, who can help you in your quest.
OUTLINE OF GAME PLAY
The object of the game is to score the most Victory Points. You win Victory Points by winning any of the 5 categories: Illuminators, Scribes, Manuscripts, Scrolls, and Supplies. You win a category by having the highest total number of workers (Scribes, Illuminators) or resources (Manuscripts, Scrolls, Supplies) in that category. This is determined by the numbers in the upper left corner on the cards. At the start of the game, each category is worth 3 Victory Points. As the game progresses, the values on the Value Board will change and some categories will become worth more or fewer Victory Points than others. The game is divided into 2 stages: a Donation stage and an Auction stage. During the Donation stage, players acquire free cards according to an established plan. In the Auction stage, players purchase cards in auction rounds. After the two stages, winners of each category are determined and Victory Points awarded. The player with the most Victory Points wins.

Ha gustado mucho entre mis amigos. Tiene su cosa.
Foliado.
I give it a ten because this game has hit a LOT the table last times because it fits at its best a needed niche for me: A game that is portable, good for two, does't need a lot of table to play, is played fast, rules are simple and has a lot of strategy. Very good game when you are on a terrace having a beer :) and also to play when aour baby is on a nap.

Jugué una o dos veces, dados y misiones sobre eso, poco recuerdo del juego, aunque su arte es bueno y la temática está bien ambientada.
Juego de cartas curioso. En una primera fase del juego, cada jugador se queda con una carta para sí, otra para la segunda fase, y otras tres, que van escogiendo por turno el resto. Cuando se acaba el mazo, comienza la segunda fase, en la que se van descubriendo las cartas que fueron apartadas. Si es un libro, se puja por ello en dinero. Si es dinero, se puja con cartas. Además, hay cartas que permiten variar el valor de los dados, que a su vez, son los que dan valor a cada color de cartas. Sencillo, elegante, rápido.. sin grandes pretensiones.
On the fence as to if I’ll keep this or not. I feel like both For Sale and High Society are both easier to teach. I also want Ra. I like to keep my collection quite streamlined (although I’ve upped my limit from 100 to 150 now. Haha). Too many good auction games…
