the Western Evening Game Room F.Lu.S . last night. At the table has been opened "Dakota" dell'italianissimo Piero Cioni, news Essen 2010, retrieved from our president last gaming event of Lucca.
"Once Upon a Time in the West, when the first settlers seeking new territories to expand at the expense of Native Americans, who saw snatch their land. In this game two factions (the settlers and natives) collide to competing for resources is not infinite of which the territory has. But beware, the game is not a cooperative team against the team, but within each faction, each player must make the most of your chances because one is the winner. Each player, before starting of which faction to join: the provision is as follows: three settlers: the Good (Marino, head of toys, we pretend it's good), The Bad (the undersigned Pampa) and bad ( Roby, then I'll explain why). From the natives take sides Drunken Horses (or Mark, commercial, cool fresh initiation of pro-vice-site lunch / dinner all'Arcometa) and SAT TUNA (obviously the Tuna, the our variable crazy).
The game is played in 10 rounds (5 players): In the first phase of each round, each player places three men in their territories available, which show up to a maximum of five resources (timber, game, fish, wheat, iron, horses, bison, and gold) depending on the area from which (wood and game from the mountains, the grain from the plains or the prairies, the gold fish from the river, etc..), or decide to place the market to buy resources. Subsequently, and in reverse order are placed markers "neutral" (settlers or native) that allow you to match any initial differences. When all players have placed, evaluating the most territory by territory. The faction with the highest number of tokens in a territory (or neutral player) wins, and wins its existing resources (a marker for each player). As a result, those who participated in the market can buy resources. In the next stage, using resources or money of equal value, each player can build in order to obtain benefits and victory points, or ask for support from other settlers or cavalry, which may provide greater weight and presence in the territories. Finally, the resources may be advanced and not needed for construction can be monetized, and turn again.
cautious start the game continues: Native and settlers often clash in the same territories and help each other. Slowly but then come the individuality and the ugly (Roby) betrays his colleagues to take advantage of the situation in his favor, and it is chaos, everyone goes his own way, even if the good (Marino) tries to keep the team together. The natives work together instead, because the class ('73) is not water!. But, as history teaches us, nothing can in the long run against the hungry settlers, who just may take the opportunity to plunder the territories which have come in, then with the need to colonize more territory in the West to exploit new resources . The natives do nothing but try to preserve as much as possible within their territories remained, living resources in their strictly necessary and leave the rest to the settlers. Final result after 3 hours of play (in the face of the 90 minutes shown on the box), the Good, the Bad and the Ugly are level on points (15), followed at a distance of two natives. Vince the Ugly (Pampa), "A Fistful of Dollars", discriminating in case of a tie.
What can I say? The strategy seems quite forced, and there are few opportunities to distinguish themselves in the game, just look how that turned the game. Maybe (night reflection of Drunken Horses), a greater imbalance between the factions (eg, four to one) would lead to other effects, with four more aggressive with each other to compete for resources that are strictly necessary, leaving the player free to act alone of the opposing faction. I honestly do not know. I invite you to take to the playroom, to prove this and other exciting games in our fully stocked catalog, as always on Mondays from 21 to 24 and on Saturdays from 17 to 24. This month, we remember, we are also open Sunday from 14 to 28 18. We wait!
