What is Yspahan

1598. Yspahan the fair becomes the capital of the Persian empire. Thus, being placed at the center of the world, the city enjoys a period of cultural and economic blossoming. The cities and villages of the region intend to take advantage of this expansion. Caravans loaded with goods and jewels set out for the desert, bearing the promises of a radiant future....

The players embody merchants trading with Yspahan. Meaning to take advantage of the coming of the Shah’s supervisor, they score points by placing their merchandise in the right shops, by sending them to the caravan, and by constructing buildings.

In Yspahan, players draft their action for the turn in order, but a roll of the dice determines which actions are available and how powerful they will be. You can earn points in the short-term by claiming shops in the city or by sending your traders to the caravan. You can also improve your infrastructure by constructing buildings that improve your actions or picking up action cards that give you extra options. Every 7 turns (each "week"), points are scored in the city and caravan, and after 3 weeks, the wise traders will see who among them has profited the most...

Comprado a mila-spiele.de en medido conjunto en julio del 2010. Consiste en hacer más puntos que los demás colocando cubos en los zocos de cuatro barrios diferentes, enviando mercancías a la caravana o construyendo edificios. Me gusta mucho y me parece bastante origian el sistema de configuración de acciones disponibles (fase de suministros) a traves de la colocación de dados. La partida dura 21 turnos repartidos en tres semanas. Al final de cada semana hay un recuento según los barrios ocupados y se limpia de nuevo el tablero. Las partidas dan la impresión de ser bastante rapidas... La unic

Dados y control de aereas por mayorias!!!! Que mas se puede pedir?? Mini camellos de madera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Un juego entretenidisimo, facil de entender, facil de jugar y muy dado a la interaccion ( lo que en mi casa se llama puteo vamos...) Ademas si lo encuetras por 6 euros como yo... pues un juegazo vamos.

Eurogame puro y duro. De duracion media corta y muy sencillo de aprender. Lo "novedoso" la torre que se rellena con una tirada de muuuchos dados. Para 2 se queda corto, mejor para 3 o 4

Lot of fun with this game. Different strategies for victory. I think your strategy has to adapt to your dice rolls. Game experience improves a lot by using a dice tower. Juego divertidisimo, sobre todo si te gusta el tema de los dados. Imprescindible una torre de dados para jugar a este juego.

Un eurogame ligero de gestión de recursos y control de áreas de duración corta (60 min.) que me recuerda de lejos a Goa en sus cartas y en algunos edificios. Muy destacable la forma en la que se usan los dados que determinan la adquisición de recursos y las maneras de conseguir puntos : las dos principales (los zocos y la caravana) y las dos secundarias (las cartas y los edificios), además del movimiento del supervisor, que añade interacción al juego. Hay azar en los dados, pero no tanto cómo pudiera pensarse... sólo la justa para que el juego no sea soso/seco. Buena elección para ocasionales
