Century Eine neue Welt

Worker Placement for Sets of goods

 

Part III of the Century trilogy after Die Gewürzstraße and Fernöstliche Wunder. You are a trader in the New World at the start of the 17th century and hunt, collect, trade and explore.

You have settlers and goods; exploration tiles are laid out. In each round, each player has one turn with selecting one of two options: Work or Rest.

For the Work option, you select a case on the board, it must be free of exploration tiles and of settlers of your own. You place the necessary number of your own settlers - either according to the symbol on an empty case or one more settler than there are in the case; those already there are driven off and given back to their owner. Finally, you resolve the action(s) of the case: Production - you receive goods cubes from stock; Upgrade - you can upgrade goods in your own storage to a higher level; Trade - you exchange goods from storage for goods from the supply; Fort - you exchange cubes from your storage for the points card or a bonus tile or both at the location. When you select the option Rest, you take all your settlers back from the board to your player board. Goods that surpass your storage capacity are always discarded. If someone acquires his eight points card, you score at the end of the round - your points cards, points from your bonus tiles, exploration tiles acquired with points cards and all non-yellow goods cubes in your own storage.

Different from Century I and yet somewhat similar, and again quite abstract despite its topic. You played cards in Century I to to something with goods cubes, you now use worker placement - in this quick and fantastic trilogy finale.
