Port Royal game review

PORT ROYAL GAME REVIEW AND IMPRESSIONS

 Alexander Pfister is a rock star in my house. All of his games (so far) have been huge hits, and Great Western Trail remains my wife's all-time favorite. Port Royal, a game I didn't know existed (or was erased from my memory after I saw the unpleasant Clemens Franz artwork of the old edition). The game was re-released as Big Box and with a bunch of additions. Each game we started adding new elements to diversify the game and it quickly became our de facto placeholder game that lasts under 30 minutes without ANY preparation/assembly. In short, she always makes us laugh in the face of our opponent's suffering. Isn't that why we play games?

 In this theme-less game, you basically have to buy cards, and the first to 12 points wins. It's that simple! But the 'try your luck' element is where this game really shines. On your turn, you reveal as many cards from the deck as you want, but if there are duplicate colored ship cards, you lose! Your opponent has a chance to buy a card from your pool if they pay you 1 coin, which is an added incentive for you to flip even more cards. Many of the "crew" cards have special abilities that make your game unique, and some help you avoid crashes by dropping duplicate cards.

 The layout and graphics are very nice and thematically sophisticated with a diverse range of ethnicities represented, and even though the types of crew cards are limited, the artwork varies a lot so you'll never get cards that look exactly the same.

 Since the game only consists of cards and a compact box, you can literally play anywhere. We've taken this game on picnics, played it in the backyard, on our game table, and we'll take this game everywhere for fun!

 We HIGHLY recommend this game if you like a fast-paced filler card game.
