Neoville

Very underrated game. Disclaimer: I'm a huge Phil Walker Harding fan. He has never let me down. I love the depth in this. I really enjoy Cloud City, one of his other games, but this one is much deeper, with a push your luck element where you can lose points due to misplaced skyscrapers, that I can see others not liking, but I completely enjoy. I was able to pick this up cheap because it looks like few others likes it. Couldn't be happier!

Current top score: 78 (Peter) The game lacks a little bit of a "fast pace" according to Milos, for kikice she hates counting :D coz she miscounts. Game 4: Peter 78, Kika 60 Game 1: Milose 76, Kikice 30 Game 2: Milose 77, Kikice 74 Game 3: Kika 54, Nicole 30

Oh! We bought this over the weekend and have already pulled it out 3 times for multiple games. What a fun game for the entire family. The game play is simple enough, but the strategizing can be pretty complexe. Plus the "gambling" factor on building and utility placement and te subsequent negative scoring if your bet doesn't pay off adds a fun dynamic to the game. We really enjoy it and I would recommend it as a great age-gap bridging game.

Surprisingly tactic little puzzle tile laying game. I like this better than Cloud City, and also more than e.g. Cascadia, for that matter. It reminds a lot of Bärenpark, which I like better, I think, though this one plays faster and seems more strategic with 2 players. I don't like the theme though, it's very generic, I almost didn't play it for that reason. Also, the 3D buildings are bad, they tend to fall over in the supply, and they hinder counting areas on your board.

Is this PWH's best game? I think so, for subsequent plays get better as players increasingly press their luck for bigger towers and increase the crunchy puzzle element.
