Watchmojo top ten games of 2016
Each turn you have to pick a card from the available ones and the cards allow you to get money, to expand your networks, to move your pieces to get contracts. The worker placement mechanism was replaced by card drafting and it works very well. Gameplay is very interesting, at first I thought the game was very different than Russian Railroads, but when you play it, it feels similar. The game´s components are ok, nothing too fancy but very functional. The theme is ok, although I don’t really feel it through the game (nor I did in RRR). After played it I can say I really enjoyed it, it is a good game.įirst Class´ rules are easy to teach. I really like Russian Railroads, so I was very keen to try First Class. I love the game so I´m upgrading its rating. My desire to play the game again is very high. With more plays, I think it can get an improved rating from me. I´m a little sad that I gave my copy away and then I couldn’t buy it again because it was out of stock. It plays very fast, but the decisions can be as deep as you want them to be. I generally don’t mind if the game is ugly, as long as the gameplay is satisfying, but I’m very glad to see the new edition of the game, it is gorgeous.īottom line, Santorini is a great family game, but it is also a great strategy abstract game. The original game was released on 2004, I’m not sure if the game has any changes rules wise, but the art and components of the game sure did. They should come with the expansion, not with the base game, still, this is a very minor issue. Another thing I dislike is that the rulebook of the game includes all the gods, even the ones from the expansion (Santorini: Golden Fleece) and we didn’t have access to them. As it turned out, the app isn’t available yet so I think it is a mistake to include it in the rulebook. After I read the rules I realized there was an app for the game so I spent the next 10 minutes looking for it.

I refuse to play it with 3 players as I really hate the king making situation that arises from this configuration, but I would play it with 4 players in teams.Īfter the setup (random gods), there is no luck whatsoever in the game, a huge plus for me. In general, I love the variable powers, it is an staple of many of my favorite games.īest with 2 players. Each cards adds or breaks a rule to the game and I´m not sure if all matches are fair, but I don’t care much about it as the playtime is so short, so far, we had had problems with Morpheus only. Santorini comes with a lot of god cards and each one impacts the game differently adding a huge replayability factor to the game. It seems very simple, but the game has a lot of depth, which piece to move, where to move it and where to build is not obvious and if your opponent is very good you can think as deep as you like, however, you can also keep it light and fast. Each turn you must move one of your pieces and then build a building with it., that’s it. The goal is to move one of your pieces (you have two) to the third level.

The game´s component are very well done, they look great on the board. I have had plays that ended under 8 minutes and others that ended under 20 minutes, still, a very short amount of time for such a deep game. The rules of the game are very simple, you can explain them under 2 minutes.

After playing it, I have to agree with her. She thinks it is gorgeous and the gameplay very exciting. I was very keen to play Santorini, it is one of the few games that my SO played months before me and she loves it. This geeklist is for my personal use, but any feedback is (encouraged) welcome. To me, a 2016 game is a 2016 game even if it was published on December 31 at 11:59 P.M in an arcane language. To determine if a game was published in 2016, I used the advanced search feature of the geek.

As I’m lazy, I will recycle the comments I have already done in each game. I will list my current Top Ten games from 2016 as well as any game that has a rating equal or superior to 7.0. This is a living geeklist, meaning, it will get constantly updated when I change my opinion of current games in my list or when I play some, yet to be discovered, 2016 game gem. If you want to see all my previous Top Ten lists you can go here. This is my twelfth geeklist in the series. I want to know which games I really like from each year as this topic frequently pops up with my geek friends. After 7 years of boardgaming as my main hobby, I began doing my own lists.
