PLAYED FOR YOU
Bangkok Klongs
COOK SHOPS, SHRIMPS AND FLOWERS
Bangkok’s floating markers, the mongers with their boats and goods! What a topic! The boats are made up from goods, monger and value. Boats depicting a monger are neutral. You start the game with four boat cards and place one of them on a free water spot: In the first round an an entry spot, from round two adjacent to a boat already in the water, all in all a maximum of three boats in a quarter of the market. Twice in the game you are allowed to relocate a boat. When the boat that you just placed shows a Luk Phat marker, the Luk Phat figurine is advanced and then he enters a scoring space you score accordingly. When Luk Phat reaches a market day spot a “Small Market” scoring takes place. When “Big Market” is triggered and scored this scoring is followed by a scoring of your goods storage and you win if you are furthest ahead on the scoring track.
The anchor places for boats are very important because when a market is scored you can only score at full anchor spaces. To score well with your goods storage you must focus on some goods and must focus on the boats, which you take back after a market scoring and place them on the table for goods storage. The boat also offers a tactical version with two stacks for boats without mongers and boats with mongers and special abilities, you decide from which stack you want to draw.
In the basic version Bangkok Klongs offers a perfect family game with a medium chance factor from drawing the boat cards; it is important to place empty boats and take them over by placing your own trader in it; as regards to special abilities the cook shop surely is the most valuable one.
