Phoenicia
Each player in Phoenicia starts with a ‘village’ of a Hunter, a Farmer, a Training ground and a Storage/Treasury tile.
The Hunter and Farmer tiles have cumulative spaces on them, allowing you to see ‘at a glance’ what Production/VP the tile is worth; they each start with 1 worker, giving 2 VP and 3 Production at the start of the game.
They get 1 untrained worker, plus 2 coins in the Treasury, plus a Production card.
On with the game play. Phoenicia game where you purchase things that give you more income, more people, storage, and points. You have to balance them.
You need the extra income, but you need to be able to store it. Then you generally need the people to put them to work, otherwise you wont have anything to do with the money.
That all sounds ok, and for the people in the game who are ‘close’ to each other, its good.
Phoenicia is not a bad game; it’s an auction game. If you don’t like auctions, I would not recommend it.
