Presentation
Tybor der Baumeister
Builder in Longsdale
Workers and citizens build in Longsdale! At the start of the game you select a scenario card and then a chapter card; if you want to learn the prequel of Oh my Goods! Longsdale in Aufruhr, you can play the chapter in sequence.
In four stages you implement the steps of dealing cards, selecting and using cards and end of stage.
For the phase of dealing cards you receive character cards for your hand and a number of cards equal to number of players x 2 plus 2 buildings are laid out with their “small side” up. Then all players put down a face-down card at the same time; afterwards, players resolve their card in turn order: you either add it as a Citizen to your display on top of your summary card for building advantages and victory points at the game end, or as Worker to the right of your summary card for work force, or you discard it as a builder for the right to take any building from the display; the building is put to the left of your summary card and you pay its costs by discarding workers from your display. Then you hand your remaining hand cards to your neighbor. When all cards in hand have been played, you resolve end-of-stage conditions.
After the forth stage, the player displays are scored; a card can score in several categories; points are awarded for buildings, card symbols, achieved scenario and chapter goals and completing of the secret task on your own player aid card.
A good mix of multiple use of cards with drafting cards; to tell the story of Longsdale in the chapters is a nice bonus and the scenario and chapter cards offer a total of 32 set-ups for a fun and fast game in the Longsdale universe!
