What is Bruxelles 1893

Bruxelles 1893 is a worker placement game with elements of bidding and majority control. Each player is an architect of the late 19th century and is trying to achieve, through various actions, an architectural work in the Art Nouveau style. The most successful building yields the most points. Each player can also create works of art to increase his score.

The action board is modular, with not every player having access to each action each turn. Some actions cost money – acquiring high-quality materials, building a level of your personal house, finding a patron, creating a work of art, selling that art for money and prestige – while other actions are free but can potentially cause you to lose one of your workers; these latter actions include acquiring low-quality materials, activating your patrons, visiting the stock exchange, and taking one of the actions with a cost. Once everyone has passed on taking more actions, the round ends and players have an art exhibition during which they can sell works. After this, players receive prestige points or bonus cards based on the symbols they've placed their workers next to on the action board.

After five rounds, the game ends and players score bonus points based on their architect level, their bonus cards, how well they've completed their work, and their money on hand. The player with the most points wins.

juego de colocación de trabajadores con una original mecánica de selección de acciones. En cada turno, se saca una carta que determina unas coordenadas sobre una matriz de acciones. El jugador debe colocar una frontera en esas coordenadas, que reducirá la superficie donde se pueden colocar los trabajadores. Se pueden sumar puntos por muchas cosas. El juego tiene tres tracks que actuan como multiplicadores. Bastante sesudo. A los jugones les encantará. a los que no estén iniciados en los juegos de mesa, les parecerá un quebradero de cabeza. Me lo regaló por sorpresa Marc en mi cumpleaños e

Euro muy curioso, me gustó en especial lo de la corrupción de los meeples, el reloj y la tabla de venta/puntos de las obras de arte.
