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...

What the community says about Saint Petersburg
de 2 a 4, tablero¿? juego un poco feote en el que el tablero es anecdotico. Especializarse en algun tipo de carta no en todo. Nunca quedarte sin pelas en la 3º fase sino ya vas mal
Really good game. It is quite simple in its rules, but it allows many ways of thinking in the future, and this really makes you think a lot. The board is not estrictly neccessary, but helps a lot.

+ 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
