names for the monastery city/village locations would have been nice also to help with Portugal theme, could be hidden under tile
I have heard that this one and Lorenzo... are very similar. But this one looks more vibrant and easy to follow, with cool little dice castles, so its the one we bought.
I'm italian and I prefer Lorenzo.. :)
totally agree. I was thinking the same exact thing regarding the naming of the characters.
Love this game....I think it can be swingy if you don't hit the "tech" tracks hard....but much much fun.
Top 10 material for the year I guess? thanks for the review...
could be :)
@@rahdo Did the take that cards bother you much?
You should spend a day doing a Portugal-themed game marathon: Coimbra, Madeira, and Lisboa!
TOP!
Coimbra, Madeira, AND Lisboa?! All on the same day? Are ya tryin’ to kill off poor Rahdo? Not even sure if HIS brain could keep from exploding - mine just hurts thinking about it.
That would be awesome!! xD
Silver Fang And include the ex-colonies... Goa, Macao and Brasil (when it is finally out)
Played this yesterday. It does look good and really has sound mechanisms and flow. Also, the level of replayability here is insanely high. On the other hand, it could be called "Some City Somewhere" (which sounds strangely catchy) because it has nothing to do with Coimbra. I agree with the one issue you have with the game. I little bit of attention into theme would have be better than none.
Also, there is a limit to the amount of end game scoring for me. Every player going one lap around the board with end game scoring feels a little too much for me. I would have liked a little more in game scoring and a little less end game scoring.
I also tried Rajas of the Ganges this week which, while not really having a draft, it has Dice Placement and I must say it impressed me more.
I'm a euro guy, but I've entered euro overload, even conceptually/theoretically,,, meaning I'd never have time to play the euros I was interested in, but i'd still have interest, but now I'm just getting conversion/track/area overload.
I really wanted to like this game following up on Tzolkien, etc, but my mojo is not cranking currently I guess.
Good summary though.
Hey!!! Unrelated to this video but please do a new video of what’s on your shelves now that you are all settled in! What made it to the states video!
i always do those early in the year, so it'll be happening jan/feb/mar time
rahdo can’t wait to see it!!!
"A dry dusty euro doesn't have to look dry and dusty"
haha, exactly ... well, we know what he means ... dress up that dust !!! (-:
Richard, Just curious thinking of picking this or pulsar 2849 up. If you had to pick one, which would recommend?
There's a link to an extended runthrough in the show notes, but it's the static cam instead.
argh! paulo goof!!! !
LOL @ "disembodied middle management guy trying to move money around". That's a good way to explain euro economic games.
Looks cool. A little excel sheety look to it, but am all about that gameplay and I luvz me some dice drafting.
Hey Richard, so if you could only choose 1 game - between Coimbra and Pulsar 2849, two dice drafting games, which would you choose? I see that Pulsar 2849 is #81 on your list while Coimbra is #89, so they are both pretty close. What questions should we ask in order to decide between the 2 games? Based on your runthroughs, I feel that Pulsar 2849 is a bit of a heavier game, would that be accurate? Thanks.
yup, they're very close. i would still give the nod to pulsar, in large part because of the huge amount of setup variability.
Played this yesterday and loved it. I will be honest I haven’t seen all the play through but I am surprised that you never mentioned that a small percentage of cards have some tiny take that. Were you ok with that Richard?
At 4:58: Barbades in French ;) (I'm from Québec, Canada)
Thanks for another great video Richard! Coimbra looks indeed very nice. Between Orleans, Lords of Waterdeep and Coimbra which one would be your pick? Thank you!
you can see how i rank all 3 at ranked.rahdo.com :)
I always check your rank but some times i have the feeling that despite you rank a game higher than another, you may like it less. Maybe i m wrong but sometimes you give me that impression by watching you in your videos and see the level of your excitement. Thats why i m asking for your opinion and not just the numbers of a rank :)
@@manos2495 ah, i see. well my rankings are partially about which I like the most, but also about which i think are objectively the best. i like coimbra a lot, but i think both waterdeep and orleans are better games.but they're all within a fraction of a percent in terms of my ranking (i.e. they're all 8's which mean they're all great!) :)
Thanks Richard! Thats what i was talking about :) Anyway i think i m going for Orleans because as you said looks a bit better than Coimbra and a bit less boring themed than Waterdeep. I also like the fact that Orleans doesn't have cards, only tokens.
Great critique. Fully agree with your one issue with Coimbra. It drives me nuts too. And i feel wrong thinking this but in this golden day and age I have decided against Coimbra simply because of their art reuse on the characters. It kills the imagination space for me.
If you had to pick one, Santa Maria or Coimbra?
Santa, definitely :)
@@rahdo, thanks Richard!
Would you recommend this over Marco Polo?
yup :)
@@rahdo Thanks for the help, love watching your reviews!!
Haha one more question... I know they're different gameplay and mechanisms but how did you prefer this to Teotihuacan? Which of the 2 would you recommend?
@@helwrj28 you can see how i rank everything at ranked.rahdo.com actually. and i'd take coimbra over teo mostly becuase teo is a longer game and i'm bugged a bit by its 2p implementation
Would you get this or The Voyages of Marco Polo? Thanks
you can always check ranked.rahdo.com to see how i rate things relative to each other :)
How does this compare to Signorie?
hmm... i'd rank this higher it think (in large part because of the presentation)
No extended play?
the runthrough is so long, it's the length of a normal runthrough plus extended gameplay :)
It's a really fast game, no need for it! the 3P demo I played earlier this year, we could have finished in just over an hour (we were pressed for time so didn't finish)
I hate dummy players that only existe with 2 players (an italian designers fetiche apparently). I don't think thats "good scaling" at all. But thats my biased opinion. So I guess it's another no from me.
It’s not a dummy player as such it’s just like a covered space on a tracj
Great review. I consider this to be the most overrated game of 2018...
I’m personally not a fan of games where all the players are staring at cards as part of tough decision making. If I were I would choose Elysium over this. Also not thrilled with progress tracks but if I were I would choose Shakespeare over this. As for dice placement lots of better games, top being Rajas of the Ganges.
#21 elysium
#109 coimbra
#168 shakespeare
