Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa

Well, after 15 plays with nearly always different gamers, I can say that this game will never leave my collection. No matter the configuration, we always play for 2 hours...so well balanced, and the edition is soooo goood.

Ce jeu propose une telle imbrication dans ses choix ! Quel gamedesign impressionnant. Ce système de scoring est par ailleurs très intéressant car il permet à qui sait actionner les bon leviers de ne jamais vraiment être laissé sur le bas-côté. C'est un jeu très lourd qui implique par sa nature un haut risque d'analysis paralysis, il faut donc sélectionner avec soin les joueurs autour de la table sinon la partie risque de s'éterniser. Malgré cela, Sankoré est un excellent jeu dont les choix et les enjeux s'éclaircissent de plus en plus au fil des parties.

Love this game so much! So heavy and thinky. A brutally and beautifully heavy Euro. I am baffled by the number of “Medium - 3” difficulty ratings. Don’t kid yourself. This is a Lacerda-style complexity game. Very lengthy board set-up time though. This game should be getting a lot more accolades and love. So original! Baffling that it isn’t getting more love for top games of 2024 lists.

What an amazing game! After my first play I was hooked. For me, this is one of those games I can't stop thinking about and wanting to play. Fun action selection-worker type euro. Very well designed. Great automa!

Amazingly beautiful heavy euro game. All the game areas are very interconnected and it offers quite a lot of interaction for it's weight. All the interaction comes from it's scoring system which varies depending on the actions each player takes. Maybe most serious euro gamers won't like the amount of interaction this game offers but it's quite a refreshing take on a mostly by-the-numbers game.
