Cooper Island

In the age of exploration the players arrive at a new home far away from their homeland. They try to settle the big island and each player tries to explore one part of it by placing landscape tiles. Landscape tiles grant resources and those are used to erect buildings with special abilities. Barriers on the island have to be removed in order to explore the island even further. Players build valuable statues and supply ships get them the supplies from the old world they need to be a successful settler on Cooper Island.

What is Cooper Island

In the age of exploration the players arrive at a new home far away from their homeland. They try to settle the big island and each player tries to explore one part of it by placing landscape tiles. Landscape tiles grant resources and those are used to erect buildings with special abilities. Barriers on the island have to be removed in order to explore the island even further. Players build valuable statues and supply ships get them the supplies from the old world they need to be a successful settler on Cooper Island.

The special thing about Cooper Island is the way the players mark their victory points. They sail with ships around the island to show their progress. On their way around the island they find smaller islands inshore that grant valuable benefits. After five rounds, a game of Cooper Island ends and the player who developed the best and went on furthest with their ships will win.

The second printing of the German and English versions of the game, along with the Spanish version of the game, include the Solo Against Cooper expansion that was originally available separately as a bonus item.

Comprado en pedido de Javi, por 33 euros, incluyendo expansión. Aún sin probar. Probado el 16/09/2022 Es un euro sencillo de mecánicas, con la mecánica principal de colocación de trabajadores y un sistema de gestión de almacenamiento y mercado bastante curioso. Los recursos se generan en una isla en función de la altura de las losetas. El track de puntuación viene dado por dos barcos que bordean la isla cada uno en una dirección. El juego tiene poca interacción, y reglas sencillas, pero con muchos detalles. Es un multisolitario, pero es todo un reto intelectual. Tienes multiples formas de cons

The solo game is impossible to beat (in my experience) and I love that. I wouldnt recommend it if you're prone to AP.

A mi parecer es un euro correcto en el que se han sobreencarecido los costes para que se convierta en un euro duro. Si se pudiera desarrollar más me parecería más interesante. No acabo de entender su fama
