Sencillote, me recordo mucho al Splendor, y al igual que ese no me gustó, se me hizo repetitivo y lento.

I find resource conversion to be a bit dull as efficiency type puzzles feel very similar to my job. This is a good one though

Juego muy sencillito en el que el jugador en su turno tiene tres opciones. Coger una carta del mercado, dejando un recurso en cada carta a la izquierda de la deseada que no se lleve - eso va haciendo las cartas más atractivas -. La carta que consigue del mercado se va al descarte. También puede cumplir un "contrato".. una carta con unos requisitios de recursos que otorgan puntos. De los contratos disponibles hay dos, los más a la izquierda, que además, llevan de premio adicional una moneda de oro o de plata. La partida finaliza cuando alguien reclama su sexto contrato. Tambien puede jugar una

Lo que me enamora del siguiente juego es su diseño, jugabilidad y estrategia. De los mejores "juegos de cartas".
