Cooper Island

Cooper is wonderful. It's that euro that seems like it's going to be super difficult but the rules are very simple. The manual is very clear and well done, you won't leave with doubts. Its only “problem” is that in the first game you will be very stuck, because you haven't yet learned the tricks to have enough resources to do things. Little by little you will lose the fear of spending your cartographer points and placing pieces on the board. You need to do this to have resources. In the first game you won't be able to do much, but from the second game onwards you will dominate

Very thight, brain burning, thematic resource-puzzle management game with worker placement and very unique VP mechanism.

una joya , muy duro pero muy bueno, el montor es apilar losetas en hexagonos y penaliza mucho no hacerlo bien pero es muy original , si puedes pruebalo es diferente a todo lo demas... tan bueno como el gaia project no digo mas...

Fantastic! Cooper Island is both a game and a puzzle. It's as much fun to play as it is to explore. This was the first solo game that I felt somehow replicated the experience of playing with others. I might even prefer to play solo since I can take as much time as I need to work through the AP on each turn. It's also helpful that the solo rules are streamlined and Cooper blocks spaces similar to a human player. Highly recommended! + Solo Against Cooper + The Skilled Workers

Really tight resource management and worker placement game. Unique scoring mechanism with helm points and the hexagon tile placing and stacking was unique, fun, and rewarding. Really fun and brain burning heavy euro.
