PLAYED FOR YOU

Letnisko

SUmmer Resort

In the 1930ties in Poland, somewhere near Warsaw - summer resorts are springing up along the railway track - the better the resort the more money you can earn with it.

Round comprise three phases: In Phase I a train carrying resort guests arrives at the station. In Phase II players in turn place their markers to claim actions. In Phase III, after implementing all actions, players receive their Investment cards and Vacationer cards, which are placed into buildings. After 10 or 12 rounds the game ends and you win with most victory points from money and properties, cards and forest are worthless.

The number of arriving vacationers depends on the number and quality of resorts and weather conditions. For Phase II you hold action markers, which are placed in turn - in the first round of placing them you can use both and must then pass in round 2. If you have the Porter marker you can do an additional action. Possible actions are inviting vacationers for Phase 3, take a package from the train = receive money or to invest in land or buildings. Allocating guests to houses is governed by stringent rules: Each house can take two guests of the required characteristics, empty houses are filled first and guests must be allocated to the lowest possible number of houses.

Letnisko is a short compact worker placement game with a charming topic in which you can do any investment, but at a higher cost for later choices - unless you use two action for one investment and get it for free! A sophisticated game with great emphasis on clever planning, a game that is rewarding to try, also due to the nice design!
