  1. 7.5 out of 10

    Doesn't make sense that the setup doesn't scale the cards per player count. Still fun though; just doesn't inspire confidence that it was developed enough.

  2. 5 out of 10

    KS delivered 9.3.22. Didn’t hit for us. It’s okay but lots of other card games in our collection

  3. 7 out of 10

    This is my first ever kickstarter that I backed so I am biased. I really like the overall system in place here, and I like how holding majorities will score something you might not even have, causing you to be very thoughtful. The door powers activating when a previously-placed door gets a neighbor is quite exciting, and I like the thought which goes into it. My biggest gripe is probably how game-altering Builders can be. I have the expansion and so I will probably switch it out for something else later on. It's also hard to teach people about the invisible 4x3 grid in my experience. A lot of people just don't get it and I don't know how to make it any clearer. Other than that, the game is really fun to play with its decisions and the like. I enjoy it.

In Cartagena, Colombia, the doors speak. Not with words, but with the grandiose knockers that adorn them. In Spanish colonial times, the knockers announced your job and your social status with the design and detail. Lions, lizards, sea creatures, and hands proclaimed the homes’ occupants as soldiers, nobles, fishermen, and clergy.

Aldabas is a puzzley tableau-builder in which you you seek to fill your neighborhood with the most influential citizens. On each turn, players will take actions to build their neighborhood or increase their wealth. Clever placement will unlock bonuses, but only if you build in the right way.

Those who keep the best company (and the fullest coffers) will surely be held in highest regard.
