Terra Nova — board game details

About the game

What is Terra Nova

In Terra Nova, players try to claim areas of land by moving control markers and placing fences. Each turn, a player must take three actions, first moving a control marker, then taking two further actions from these possibilities:

moving a control marker (whether the same one or a different one) and/or

placing a fence next to a control marker that moved this turn.

Areas are scored once they're enclosed and contain no more than three types of landscape. Whoever has the majority of pieces in an area scores points based on the number of spaces and the number of types of landscape in the area, with fewer types scoring more points. Points are split in case of a tie. The game ends once all areas have been scored.

Sentencia_JG7.5/10

2-4 J. (2 mejor). Juego cerebral y altamente interactivo en el que no puedes dejar ningún flanco sin cubrir. Cuidado con el análisis parálisis.

Juego casi abstracto de mover meplees y colocar piezas de vallas que encierren una zona, en tablero hexagonado, a puntuar el que mayor numero de meplees tenga dentro. Máximo 3 tipos de terreno distintos puntúan cuando se cierran. Sencillo de explicar pero no de dominar, muy entretenido. Un tanto caótico cuantos más jugadores.

Regalado con el preorder de Naufragos juego abstracto en el que el posicionamiento es fundamental y deberás encerrar a los otros jugadores para poder puntuar grandes zonas y conseguir la victoria. Con esta explicación recuerda un poco al pinguinos & Cia, pero la manera de puntuar difiere mucho lo que los distingue lo suficiente.
