Winter
Every winter, the lake freezes over. It won’t last long, so we have to play as soon as possible, trying to dominate the frozen parts of the lake before everything unfreezes and we lose everything. In order to win, choose key spaces wisely before your rival does, and control them. Show that the cold never bothered you.
What is Winter
Every winter, the lake freezes over. It won’t last long, so we have to play as soon as possible, trying to dominate the frozen parts of the lake before everything unfreezes and we lose everything. In order to win, choose key spaces wisely before your rival does, and control them. Show that the cold never bothered you.
In Winter, two players compete to be the player with the most chips of their color on the lake at the end of the game. The game is divided into two phases. In the first, the freezing phase, players will create the frozen lake in a contiguous form using their snowflake cards. They’ll also attempt to secure zones in which they’ve managed to group four snowflakes of their color using chips. In the second phase, the unfreezing, they’ll undo the creation by moving and retrieving their cards and chips of their color. At the end of the game, the player with the most chips on the table is declared the winner.
Winter is an abstract game for 2 players ages 8 and up. Games last 10 minutes in which good decisions are everything. This is a reissue of the 2016 edition with all new mechanics.
Winter was the winner of the 2021 Cardboard Edison Award. It’s the first of a series of the 4 Seasons series that will continue later with Autumn, Summer, and Spring.

Josué y Mio
Se trata de un filler de creación de patrones al más puro estilo puzle para dos jugadores. Sin dar muchos rodeos, este juego no nos ha convencido. Nos hicimos con él debido al bombo que se le dio (un punto para Devir y sus campañas de marketing agresivas) pero no ha cuadrado en nuestra ludoteca. A mi compañera de juegos le parece que es muy fácil desbalancearlo según como se roben las cartas que conforman el puzle. Por otro lado el juego en sí tampoco nos dice nada ni nos incita a darle otra partida. Una pena, quizá a otras personas les cuadre mejor.

It is one of our first abstracts and, although we have no other abstracts to compare, we find this one a good experience for its price and the size of the game. Perhaps the first phase is a bit simple, and I think it could have been saved with a setup, but the second phase can have some very good moves if you anticipate your opponent's moves.
