Manila
Barges, freight and profits are what it's all about in Manila, a speculative contest for 3-5 players. Goods shipments, intended for transport along sea routes, are in danger of gathering dust in the warehouses or being lost at sea in a storm. While the players speculate about success and failure, the ultimate fate of the ships will be determined by the dice.
What is Manila
Barges, freight and profits are what it's all about in Manila, a speculative contest for 3-5 players. Goods shipments, intended for transport along sea routes, are in danger of gathering dust in the warehouses or being lost at sea in a storm. While the players speculate about success and failure, the ultimate fate of the ships will be determined by the dice.
There are four shipments that need to get to Manila - jade, ginseng, silk and nutmeg. A round begins with an initial auction to become harbour master. If you win, you'll be allowed to buy a share of one of the shipments, choose which three shipments you'd like to take down river and how likely they are to make it to their destination in the harbour. If they make it to Manila, their share price will increase. The aim of the game is to bet on the outcome of these shipments, with dice ultimately determining their fate. How many of the three boats will make it and which ones? Would you like to provide insurance against possible failed ships or perhaps you think pirates will snatch a chance to take control? Manila is a fun family game that takes minutes to learn and brings the river boats of the Philippines to life!

Son muchas opciones que hacer pero todas muy sencillas de comprender. Las reglas se explican en 5 minutillos y en enseguida se aprende la mecánica. El azar es muy elevado, pero es la base del juego ya que son apuestas puras y duras y nunca sabes con seguridad si un barco llegará o no, pero aquí está la chicha del juego y las risas. A parte, los vigías retocan un poco este azar. Por último los piratas le dan un punto muy gracioso al juego. Mucha interaccion entre jugadores. Puede que el azar bastante elevado del juego haga que muchos se echen para atrás a la hora de jugar, pero esto hace que se

Aunque muy dependiente del azar, es divertido y bonito.
