Great game when it works Great game when it works

But continues to crash on launch on a 4th gen iPad. Have to delete and reinstall after about 20 games to get it running smoothly again. Worth it, though.

bancal bancal

jeter après quelques parties jouées en version standard ou étendue : le jeu n'est pas équilibré, trop grande place au hasard. durant la partie, on joue dans le brouillard en ne voyant que son jeu (comme un rami ou un mah jong où on n'abaisserait qu'en fin de partie. les adversaires programmées sont prévisibles. En bref, ressemble énormément à l'adaptation d'un mauvais jeu de société à l'américaine : dans le genre, mieux vaut essayer Phase 10 ou Lost cities (les cités perdues).

Looks and plays great! Looks and plays great!

This is such an elegant straight forward game about grave robbing. It's a race against your opponents, real or imaginary (AI), to be the first to assemble your own monster. Each turn you either draw from the deck hoping for something useful, or if you have enough cash, can actually grab the top card of one of the player's discard piles. I guess you could almost see it as Advanced Gin Rummy with Economics. Beyond simply trying to achieve your objective before your opponents, you'll need to know when it is best to sell off or auction parts to raise funds to then be able to afford desparately needed parts later, or, even if you can't use the part currently being auctioned off, you bid just enough to make sure Steve can't get it.

But after a while, you're sure to provoke a villager uprising!
