Deus Board Game

Bom euro de controle de área + gerenciamento de mão. Material de boa qualidade, tempo médio bom.

One of the best games I've ever played. Simple to explain but hard to master, 'DEUS' takes the best aspects of games like 'Race For the Galaxy', 'Imperial Settlers', and 'Terra Mystica' and jams them together in a cornucopia of fascinating mechanics.

El juego es una mezcla única entre juego de construcción de mazos y posicionamiento de trabajadores, se interactúa a dos niveles con el juego: el tablero personal donde sólo tú pones tus cartas, y el tablero modular donde todos los jugadores construyen sus ciudades. Ofrece gran rejugabilidad aunque puede ser algo durillo de inicio, pero el manual está muy bien explicado. Se los recomiendo a cualquiera que desee un juego de peso medio-alto, que escale bien a cualquier cantidad de jugadores y que ofrezca una buena rejugabilidad. La partida dura unos 30 minutos por jugador.

Despite the rather "blah" artwork on the front of the box, this game is definitely one of the best! It's a shame because I think that as a society, we all tend to judge a "book" by its cover. Don't do that here! The game is surprisingly easy to understand (despite being a little frightening in terms of sheer quantity of pieces) and is very satisfying both in terms of strategy and engine-building. Perhaps the thing that makes this game unique and exciting is that aside from the tableau that each player creates in front of him/her self, there is a game board that evolves over time. The pieces on the board are added and moved based on the cumulative effect of the cards in the tableau. There are many decisions to be made and an assortment of strategies that can be used to achieve the most victory points. Admittedly, the resources are not very creative. They are simply colored wooden discs. Even changing their shape would have gone a long way to making them a little more exciting looking. And the boards which come together to form the overall playing surface could have been more colorful. But, these things are superfluous and nit-picky when you consider the game as a whole. Yes, they could have made a great game even better, but at the risk of raising the price, I don't mind. The price that I paid for this game makes it a literal "steal"and gives it a very high fun to cost ratio. If you were on the fence about deciding whether or not to purchase this gem, debate no longer. It really is a great addition to a gamer's library.

This is one of my favourite board games at the moment. There are so many interesting mechanisms in this game (Area Control, Tableau Building, Hand Management, Resource Management), but the way that your tableau of cards is built with each card being triggered multiple times is awesome. In this edition they have addressed some of the issues with colour choices that caused confusion with the first printing.
