What is Keltis

Keltis is a multi-player game based on Lost Cities, with some rules changes, later published with Knizia's original rules and theme as Lost Cities: The Board Game.

Players play cards to move their playing pieces along stone paths. Cards show one of five different colors/symbols, each corresponding to one path; in addition, each card shows a number (0-10, twice each). In each color, each player can play his cards in either ascending or descending order. As in Lost Cities, it's better to concentrate on a few paths since the final spaces on a path grant high points, but ending early gives negative ones.

The active player plays one card (out of a hand of eight) or discards one, then moves the corresponding playing piece on the path. Many of the spaces have a token that grants some bonus: either immediate points (counted on the scoring track), an extra move on a path, or wishing stones that are needed at game end to avoid negative points.

The game ends when five playing pieces (from any combination of players) have reached the seventh (or higher) space on their respective paths. Now, scoring happens:

Juego sencillito. Conseguido en la Mathtrade de invierno de 2014, aunque me llegó en Abril. Es demasiado sencillo para la mayoría de los jugones. Yo conocí primero el Keltis de viaje, por lo que es un poquito más complicado que eso. Juego corto, apto (y recomendado) para no jugones y que suele resultar entretenido. No durá mucho tiempo. 45 minutos por partida (más o menos). Vendido el 05/01/2015 a Alberto MErino, a través de la BSK, en un lote de 13 juegos por 200€, con gastos de envío incluidos. Hice dos envíos. Este fue en el primer envío.

A (multiplayer) variation of Lost Cities with the additional board to consider. Adds some decisions (which way to go on the board) but also gets a little more lucky.

Pfff. El cinquillo con cartas de colores y gemas... demasiado simple y no muy divertido, no hay ni interacción
