Bruges
Stefan Feld's card game of 15th century Bruges, where every card has six jobs.
What it is
A merchant's life in 15th century Bruges, told through 165 person cards. Every card offers six possible actions, and hiring the person shown is one of them, so the question is what each card should be this round. Coloured dice hand out threats, and three of one colour bring a disaster. A brisk Feld that suits people who like a busy hour.
What we love
- 165 person cards, so the same town is unlikely to come up twice.
- Canal paths pay bonus tiles when finished.
- Dice showing 5 or 6 add threats, and a disaster can cost you houses, coin or workers.
Honest trade-offs
- Card draws and dice bring heavy luck, which reviewers flagged as limiting for planners.
- There is a lot of card text to read across 165 people.
