In Buru, you are a noble of the 14th century Majapahit empire, a powerful thalassocracy (maritime kingdom) that presides over the Indonesian archipelago. At the orders of the king Hayam Wuruk and his vizier, the great Gajah Mada, you have set out across the sea to expand the great mandala of Majapahit through commerce and diplomacy. You and your fellow nobles have recently arrived at the remote island of Buru, eager to earn your place in history. Here, you will dispatch your parties to the island to explore, trade, and pay your respects as you compete to win over Buru’s residents and ultimately gain the favor of the King himself.

Buru is a mid-weight, Euro-style board game for 1-4 players. Over five game rounds, you and your fellow players secretly deploy explorers to the four different regions of the island in order to gather resources, recruit islanders, set them to tasks, and pay tribute to the spirits revered there. The object of the game is to win the islanders’ esteem. You can earn esteem in many ways, primarily by paying tribute, but also by pleasing elders, tasking local nobles, fulfilling the king’s decrees, and holding a totem when any player pays tribute to that spirit.

At the end of the game, the player with the most esteem wins and is declared the new governor of Buru!

  1. 8 out of 10

    Es spielt sich schön fluffig , genau richtig wenn man entspannt spielen will. Genug Tiefe und Ärgefaktor ist trotzdem enthalte. Ich mag es sehr .❤️

  2. 5 out of 10

    Played with expansion. A blind action bidding game with excessive mechanics that don't necessarily translate to fun. Also, game balance could be better. Nice colours and art though.

  3. 7.5 out of 10

    Buru is a mid-weight euro with blind bidding, worker placement and recipe fulfilment all brought together in an excellent looking package. The additional modules/expansion which we didn’t play with probably move it towards more of a gamers game and it may be one I keep my eye on when it eventually hits the retail stores
