Saint Petersburg
On May 16th, 1703, Czar Peter laid the cornerstone for the first building in Saint Petersburg. Quickly, glorious buildings were added, always being expanded, so that Nobility (bringing victory points) may want to move in. But to accomplish this, one needs merchants who can provide the necessary Rubles, or the glory is over. The competition isn't sleeping either, and can sometimes steal a desired card right out from under your nose.
What is Saint Petersburg
On May 16th, 1703, Czar Peter laid the cornerstone for the first building in Saint Petersburg. Quickly, glorious buildings were added, always being expanded, so that Nobility (bringing victory points) may want to move in. But to accomplish this, one needs merchants who can provide the necessary Rubles, or the glory is over. The competition isn't sleeping either, and can sometimes steal a desired card right out from under your nose.
Saint Petersburg has a board to tally victory points and to set out the four types of cards. It is the cards themselves that players need to collect. In each round – with the number of rounds dependent on the number of players and the randomness of card availability – players first pay for CRAFTSMEN who supply money for further purchases; then BUILDINGS to score points; then ARISTOCRATS, who are needed for money, points, and end-of-game scoring; and finally, unique cards from all three categories which give greater benefits. During the first rounds, players never have enough money to buy every card they want. During later rounds, they have plenty of money, but the cards they'd like to buy may have already come and gone...

+ Expansión El Banquete (2008) - Cartas enfundadas
Juego sencillo de cartas, pero con bastante estrategia. Se juega por rondas y cada ronda consta de cuatro fases que corresponden con otros cuatro mazos: artesanos, que principalmente dan dinero, edificios, que principalmente dan puntos de victoria, personajes, que dan un poco de todo,y actualizaciones, que mejoran las cartas anteriores. Tras cada fase, hay un recuento y se cobran los puntos/dinero que corresponda, excepto la fase de mejoras. El juego finaliza cuando se acaba uno de los mazos. Es un juego muy sencillo de explicar, pero exige bastantes calculos y unas buena gestión para asegur

Un juego fantástico para 2, 3 o 4 jugadores, aunque la experiencia de juego es muy distinta en cada caso. Muy recomendado para "no jugones", ya que no es demasiado complejo. Fantastic game. Plays well with 2, 3 or 4 players, but game experience is very different in each case. A must-have. Very good game for non-gamers. (It is not too complex)
Esp) Cada vez que veo esos juegos "novedosos", sobreproducidos, con mil componentes y cajas enormes, me acuerdo de Saint Petersburg! Un juego con una mecánica "de reloj" y elegante como pocos. Es un juego de cartas (pero que, en verdad, no lo es) en dónde tenés que ir montando un set collection que te va a ir dando puntos de victoria y rublos (dinero). Finalmente, el que tenga más PV será el ganador. La temática de este juego podría ser cualquier otra. Es, en definitiva, un abstracto genial, perfectamente balanceado. Acaso, lo más sorprendente de todo es que el juego es horrendo estéticamente
Es un juego astuto que emplea los criterios elementales de la eficiencia económica: dicotomía entre gastar y conseguir puntos o invertir para conseguir con qué gastar. Fácil de aprender y fácil jugar bien a él. Adictivo. Gustará a jugones y a novatos, aunque no a quién se encuentre en los extremos de estos grupos. Buena idea lo de "sin huecos en el tablero no habrá cartas nuevas" (deberás comprar -gastar- cartas que no te hagan falta para evitarlo). PEGAS: tiende a jugarse con piloto automático porque está basado en un algoritmo que se vuelve repetitivo (como San Juan o Dominion y no tiene si
