Board game Hans im Glück The Voyages of Marco Polo (eng) ( 777 )

DESCRIPTION OF THE BOARD GAME THE VOYAGES OF MARCO POLO

 The famous traveler Marco Polo was born in Venice into a merchant family that traded in jewelry and spices. When Marco grew up, he continued the business and decided to take trade to a new level. To open up new markets, he and his brothers and friends began traveling the world, setting up trading posts and concluding lucrative contracts.

 The adventures of Marco and his friends will be discussed in the board game The Voyages of Marco Polo. Participants in this game try on the role of one of the travelers who accompanied Marco Polo around the world. Players have to visit different countries, establish trade relations, fulfill secret goals, earn money and win points. The Voyages of Marco Polo is a table hit that has garnered many awards and prizes around the world.

BEFORE THE GAME

 First of all, we note a huge number of components. Here and cubes, and houses, and tokens, even camels with goods. All these components take place on the big map of the world (playing field), as well as on the personal tablets of players.

 Each city has a bonus token and a city map, contract tokens are sent to a special area, and black dice are displayed on the market. Players exhibit their figures of travelers: one on the track counting points, the other at the start - in Venice.

 Also, players receive and place on their personal tablets action cubes, a starting set of goods, camels and factors, an initial contract token, a secret goal card and a bonus provided by the character card chosen by the participant for the game.

 Marco Polo's Travels is an asymmetrical game, as the characters have different properties and bonuses. There are 10 characters in the game, and in one game with the maximum number of participants, only 4 of them are used.

 The situation is the same with city maps: there are only 31 city maps in the game, with 9 maps used in one game, which indicates a high degree of regradability of Marco Polo Travels.

GAME PROCESS

 Despite the scale of the game and the large number of components, the rules of travel are quite simple. The game lasts 5 rounds, each of which consists of 4 phases:

• Determine the first player. At the very beginning of the game - this is the participant who last traveled somewhere. In the following rounds, this is the player who performed the action of the trip in the previous round.
• Receive bonuses . Players receive bonuses indicated on the tokens of their characters. It can be anything, for example, an additional pair of camels, goods, a contract token, etc. At the beginning of each round, players disassemble their bonuses from the total stock and spread them out on personal tablets in the appropriate places.
• Disassemble the cubes of their color from the playing field, if this is not the first round. At the very beginning of the game, action cubes are placed on the players' tablets.
• Dice action cubes and with the acquired values lay them out on your tablet. With these dice, players will take turns performing actions in the current round.

ACTIONS IN THE GAME

 In this phase, players take turns, placing dice on the field in different areas and immediately performing the following actions:

• To get goods or new camels, place one, two or three dice in the market area.
• To receive a new contract, send one of your dice to the appropriate area.
• The actions of receiving additional coins, the Khan's mercy and the opportunity to travel are also performed.

 The values on the cubes play an important role. Depending on them, players will gain more or less force. Also note that the player who first takes the cell performs it for free, and each subsequent player who also wants to put his dice in this cell must pay for it or fulfill a certain condition.

 In addition to the basic actions, which we briefly described, players have access to additional actions that are performed at any time during the game. For example, the implementation of the contract.

 If a player has collected the required amount of resources indicated on the contract token, he discards them in the general reserve, puts the contract in the stack, and in return receives winning points.

FOR WHOM THE GAME

 The Voyages of Marco Polo are a high-quality and rich Eurogame that has absorbed all the best mechanics of this genre: placement of employees and different strength of their actions, gradual opening of actions in the game, asymmetry of characters, moving chips on the field and secret goals.
