Hagoth

Builder of Ships

Players embody ship building apprentices who design, build and sail the best combination of ships from their Land Bountiful north to the Land Northwards, because they want to earn the Honorary title of „Builder of Ships“.

Each player chooses a color and receives to corresponding ship markers, a victory point marker and five cards. In your turn you always choose between playing two cards and implementing them or implementing one of three actions without playing a card. Your options when playing a card are: Start on a new ship blueprint, add to an existing print, go wooding, sail, attack an opponent or play one card and discard the other card. Without cards you can either go wooding or build a segment of a completed blueprint or sail a ship one position further to the Land Northwards. A ship is considered to be built when there is a piece of wood in each segment of the blueprint. Whenever you launch a ship you score victory points in the harbor and at the end of its journey. Some tactics is possible in deciding if you build more valuable big but slower ships or smaller fast ones that reach Northwards earlier, because you need to find the optimum combination of ships to be the first to score 25 points and win.

Just like King’s Vineyard Hagoth, too, is an attractive little game, with a not so often found topic and simple mechanisms, the percentage of luck is rather high due drawing cards and to rolling a die for cutting wood. The rules give good explanations for the cards and all in all Hagoth makes for a good family game, the minimum age given is absolutely correct.
