    A great game with a natural flow. You build momentum as it progresses. the motif and artwork is really good stuff and makes the game play that much more fun. Am looking forward to the expansion Cut throat where you can possibly sabotage your opponents turns!

    Wow was this game random. I played two player and basically every single thing went my way. I guess on average things should be more even, but the point is that luck can be a huge influence on the game. You get random buildings to build and random citizens come out to stay in them so you need to hope that these things match up. And then there are the events and visitors, one of each of which comes out every turn, and these can really help or hurt one player basically through no fault of their own. It really was incredible how one-sidedly everything went in my game, where at one point when my opponent sort of started to stage a comeback I thought about how embarrassed I'd have been if it ended up even close. It didn't, I think I won 35 to 21, and I'm convinced that had nothing to do with how I played. And I'm not even convinced that the core gameplay would be all that interesting even if it was a lot less random. It's pretty uninspired, you buy resources to build buildings that get you money to buy more resources to build more buildings, etc. And then the buildings are also worth points.

The year is 1123. A new count has been given dominion over the settlement of Blankenburg. People are coming to the town from the surrounding countryside in hopes of a better life. You have seen an opportunity to make your fame and fortune as the town is built.

In Builders of Blankenburg you are competing to construct the town and earn the most prestige while doing so. Each player takes on a persona which provides a unique benefit during the game. You begin the game with some basic resources and a small amount of silver. While all structures can earn you prestige, only building what the town’s citizens demand will earn you the silver necessary to bid for and purchase more resources. Each turn consists of four phases:

Bidding (the primary means of gaining resources)
Building (constructing and occasionally demolishing)
Income (gaining silver for the structures you own)
Marketplace (an opportunity to buy plans and resources)

The game introduces the citizen track, a growing group of town folk that allows all players to see which structures will earn them income. It also serves to signal the end of the game once the town is full. The town is split into four districts, each limited in size and awarding bonuses at the end of the game for anyone who controls more of a district than their opponents. If there are no other plots on which to build, the game also ends. Beware, while the citizens are known, the best laid plans can be ruined by events and visitors to the town. The player with the greatest prestige at the end of the game is declared the winner.
