the most victory points at the end of the game, wins. Players earn victory
points by shipping merchandise from the harbor, but also by erecting and using
buildings, and by abiding by the law.
RGG344
Darjeeling
$39.95
In 1835, the British East India Company leased the region around the
location of the modern-day city of
Darjeeling
. The British had more than a strategically placed trading post in mind
– because of the favorable climate, they wanted to build a sanatorium there as
well! That climate, which was to bring relief to sanatorium visitors, can
be thanked for one of the most sought-after tea varieties in the world:
Darjeeling
. Tea connoisseurs from around the globe treasure the extremely fine and flowery
aroma of the First Flush, the first harvest of the year’s new growth. But the
many flavors of teas from the following harvests are also unsurpassed. For
a long time, only traditional black tea was produced in
Darjeeling
. In the meantime, however, other teas are exported by the region, teas produced
by different fermentation techniques. So these days, for example, Green
Darjeeling is not the rarity it once was. To make the tea varieties more
distinguishable, as well as making other “Regions” which chiefly produce
other tea varieties playable via alternate playing area setups (shown at the end
of the rules), the tea crates in the game are black, green white and red for
black tea ,green tea, white tea and Pu-Erh, sometimes also called red tea,
respectively. While searching for the best teas, the players cross the
entire region and assemble the largest shipments possible for each individual
tea variety. The latest teas to be loaded are always worth more victory points
than the older ones, as tea connoisseurs naturally prefer the freshest cargo.
But preferences for individual tea varieties also bring the players victory
points while loading shipments.

Hamburgum

Hamburg
in the 17th century! Mighty walls protect the city against the devastations of
the Thirty Years War. Thanks to Protestant religious refugees, Hamburghas become
the biggest and most prosperous city of
Germany
. From far away the skyline shows the steeples of huge churches and the masts of
mighty trade ships displaying the citizens’ pride and prosperity. The players
guide families of
Hamburg
in the pursuit of wealth and prestige. They produce beer, sugar and cloth and
sell these goods with their ships overseas. They compete over the best sites for
their buildings and the best berths for their ships in the harbor. But
ultimately they vie for the most prestigious church donations, because neither
gold nor goods, but only prestige decides the game. Hamburgum is a strategy game
for 2 – 5 players without any luck of cards or dice. The actions are selected
according to simple rules on a rondel. The reverse of the big double-sided game
board offers another city, Londinium, a different strategic challenge.

Year of the Dragon
$44.95
In this game, each player takes on the role of a Chinese prince, seeking to
maximize the prosperity and prestige of his province in the ancient
China
of approximately 1,000 A.D. To assist in these endeavors, the princes must call
upon the diverse talents of their courtiers, from scholars and monks to warriors
and craftsmen. These loyal subjects will lend their expertise to the struggle to
shield their rulers from the often disastrous consequences of the myriad
untoward events that plague the populace from month to month. Be it drought,
contagion or Mongol invasion, only foresight and planning will spare the princes
and their subjects from these fates. The better a player can manage his province
and withstand the seemingly unending onslaught of hazardous events, the more
honor and victory points he will have to show for it in the end.

Oregon
$39.95
The year is 1846. Gunslingers, lawmen, pioneers and whole families left
their homes in the East and
Midwest
to try their luck in the West. They loaded their covered wagons with all they
could and headed west across steppes, deserts, and mountains. Many chose to
settle in
Oregon
, where the farming and hunting was plentiful and they could stake out a bit of
land for themselves. The players have already reached
Oregon
and gaze upon the rich farmland below and the potential gold and coal reserves
of the mountains. They build ports on the lakes and rivers, churches,
warehouses, post offices, and train stations on the plains. And, of course, they
must farm the rich land to grow the food necessary for the area to grow and
thrive. To win, a player must choose the right times to farm and the right times
to build, for planning is necessary, even here in the untamed wilderness of
Oregon
!
