Always love to see you covering these games from Japanese designers. We are too little to make much of a difference but your reviews make a big impact on showing people the beauty of the Japanese gaming scene.
Thank you for the kind words. I’m very fortunate to have this platform, but please don’t underestimate your impact. I’ve watched and enjoyed several of your videos.
Great review! This game is really good. I was really impressed. It actually reminds me of Agricola. The worker placement is tight, and the cost to feed your population based on the number of ships (workers) you produce is impactful. I like that most of the points are scored up front on the score track with just a few tallied at game end.
Amalfi - renaissance is a Sylex game. It is not just a game; it's a labor of love, a re-development project that pays homage to the original version created by Uchibacoya. While the game's basic design draws inspiration from its predecessor, I'm thrilled to inform you that almost everything else is set to be entirely different. In this new iteration, we've poured our hearts and creativity into crafting a unique and captivating gaming experience. While the original served as our foundation, we've expanded upon it in countless ways: New Characters, new Destinations, new Objectives etcc :)
I was a bit disappointed with the solo mode because it is beat your own score style. It follows a script that reacts to what you do on the board, but in a completely predictable way. It's super easy to run, but does provide a good puzzle, and it's very challenging (for me, at least). I just wish the solo mode was a bit more dynamic.

Love you Mike! Miss you in the weekly group videos but I'm glad you've still been in some of the bigger group vids and stuff. Keep on keeping on!
excited to see this finally getting released, thanks for the review and for the comparison!
Appreciate seeing a review for this game, Mike! I think I need to add this to my collection.
going to preorder it! Trust your review!! Got Palace of Carrera too
great job Mike, thank you for your enthusiasm and clarity👏👏👏
cool Mike!!! I was wondering about this game (bought IKI, Aqua Garden, Tokaido, Namiji, Kohaku, Ohanami))
Great review, Mike!
I looove the look of this game and, oddly, am quite fond of the Mediterranean theme.
The board looks like My Little Pax Renaissance 2nd Edition.

Just discovered this game on BGA and I'm loving it. Might need to get a physical copy of this game!
Thanks Mike. Nice review. I love this game.
Such a great euro game with extra flare. More people need to try this one
I want a game where one builds dice towers in the Mediterranean. One also has to shut the door.
Amalfi Renaissance is coming to Boardgamearena to try. It is in Alpha at the moment. Excited to try it.
🎉 that’s great news!! thanks for sharing
Thanks! I noticed it's in beta now!
Call it Ship Placement instead of worker placement. ;) Thanks for the video.
This is a uchibacoya game i have not yet got my hands on, i didn't know it was getting picked up for US distribution! Cool!

Is this different enough from Concordia to own? I'm thinking of buying it.
have you heard of Sapporo 1876 (same publisher of Aqua Garden)? 😢 out of stock everywhere
Yes, I own it. It’s very good. That’s the same designer of this game.
😭 oh thanks for your reply. I asked Uchibacoya on KS as they have shipped Aqua Garden late pledge to me 😅
How’s the solo?
It’s very good. And very difficult (for me at least).
Would be an idea to film a solo playthrough if you're still doing those :) @@michaeldilisio557

i can see a great pirate game with this type of system...
One reason more folks aren't picking up this intriguing eurogame game is that the rulebook is absolute flaming garbage.
I thought the rule book was excellent. Very clearly laid out and easy to understand.
