What is Reef Encounter
Reef Encounter is about life on a coral reef! Using polyp tiles, players grow different types of corals, which they can protect from being attacked by other corals through judicious placing of their four shrimp counters.
To be successful, players must consume polyps from neighboring corals in order to acquire the 'consumed' polyp tiles that are the key to the game. The consumed polyp tiles have a myriad of uses (and have a similar effect to the action points in games like Tikal and Java). Most importantly, they can be used to flip over or lock the coral tiles, which determine the respective values of the different types of coral at the end of the game.

What the community says about Reef Encounter
Las mecanicas de este juego son muy ingeniosas y encajan muy bien. No apto para recien iniciados al mundo de los juegos de mesa. Sin embargo, es una verdadera pasada para los eurogamers. The game mechanics fit nicely. This is not an appropriate game for newbies, but it is a blast for experienced eurogamers.
El primer Eurogame con estilo druídico. Una mezcla inteligente entre un juego económico con acciones de compañías y un wargame táctico. Te gustará si te va resolver puzzles y emplear tu pensamiento analítico por encima de las risas y la conversación desenfadada durante una partida. De los pocos eurogames que funcionan a 2 jugadores. Más estratégico que táctico, compensan más las decisiones a largo plazo que aprovechar oportunidades. Algunos lo han comparado con Tigris y Euphrates... pero sólo porque ambos comparten alguna mecánica de Aquire. Buena idea la de "camarones limitados por jugador" (
Muy buen juego. Más complejo de lo que aparenta y relativamente denso. Bonito.

[url=http://ballearicus.blogspot.com/2008/05/el-grande-y-reef-encounter.html]Reef Encountre[/url] es un juego difícil, complejo en su mecánica, de reglamento lioso, no es apto para para todo los públicos, solo para jugadores con predisposición a asimilar un montón de reglas y gran variedad de posibilidades. La sensación inicial es que el juego te superaba, me costo un par de turnos hacerme con él.
