Bomarzo
45m - 60m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 12+
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.
Variable Player Powers
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

This game has some potential. Not a simple worker placement, you can modify the board by secretly changing the order of the deities and therefore the endgame prizes for the majorities. A very smart mechanism allows you to copy some other player's action without using any worker or to block the god cards preventing other players to use'em later on the same turn. You cannot figure out who's winning until the very end of the game, even with two players. I guess the game would be even more tense with 3 or 4, because with 2 people there is some interaction but it's not a struggle for supremacy and you cannot appreciate the twists that the game offers to block the others or prevent them to do what they need. That being said, Bomarzo has something that makes the game less enjoyable than one would think just reading the rules. Firt of all, the rules themselves: they're confusing and unnecessarly crooked. The game isn't hard to master but eventually it becomes frustrating to search the rulebook for basic infos that are put together confunsingly. The artwork is beautiful, but the icons on the cards are far from being intuitive and you'll need some games to manage all the symbols in the game without checking the rulebook. Game materials are quite poor and once set, the table doesn't look charming at all, expecially compared to other similar games. That's a pity, because as already said, the artwork is very fine. In clonclusion, this game could have been a really masterpiece but due to some production issues (i.e: bad rulebook, icons and poor game materials) the gaming experience is fairly less enjoyable than it could be.

A tiny bit too chaotic but fairly quick. Interesting mechanisms but I have no strong desire to play it again.

Unique in every way - but great euro - WAY underrated. The scoring is slim pickings so maximize what you have and don't worry about some selective overspending. VERY relevant is the reorganization of the cards before scoring! Can be a nervy finish.
