![]() Yes, it's made of wood! Nepal is the first of Blue Panther's Big Box series. A little bit Euro in style, but it also allows for a bit of conflict - especially when those high powered trade routes are at stake. Game mechanics are simple. Game strategy is where the challenge lies. Each turn you will take up to three actions (move or grow) as you attempt to be the first player to trailblaze a new trade route. Points are scored for building new routes, maintaining them at the end of the game, and for zone control at the end of the game. Players compete to establish trade routes across Nepal via tile placement. This will remind many players of tile placement train games. If the trade to an area gets too heavy, there's a population explosion that could lead to players' loosing previously placed tiles until the population shrinks to a sustainable level. ![]() Featuring all laser engraved and cut components in a nifty wooden box, Nepal is the game that will stand out on your shelf AND when you play it. Includes: •Wooden box •30 wooden "cards" •200 colored disks in five colors •playing board (mounted on wood) •rules Beautiful production values and sure to be the best smelling game in any collection! |
