  1. 5 out of 10

    Terra Mystica lite? The more I think about it, possibly an improvement on the original? Perhaps Gaia Project and Clans make Terra Mystica obsolete, along different spectrums of the complexity scale.

    Genial juego económico con algunas características de control de área. Me encanta como han implementado diferentes mecánicas en un solo juego y que funcione como la seda. ====================================================== Great economic game with some area control features, I love how they implement different mechanics into one game and make it work smoothly

  3. 8 out of 10

    This is a fun game; the market is neat; and the dance of territory control + money management is satisfying enough, but it's also not particularly different from game to game. The Clans literally save this game and keep it fresh! But there's not terribly many clans that really stir up the basic gameplay. Caledonia a really good game. It creates a cool economic system strapped onto some cast off bits from Terra Mystica, but it also sacrifices some the creative "oomph" in playing a totally different race every game in Terra Mystica for playing mostly the same game every time with slight differences due to your clan benefit. The ports add some tension and variability as well, but they also script the game somewhat. You REALLY want to get on at least one or two ports to shoot for the win usually, and yet they don't feel all that cool to use. They give you a small one-time benefit, but they're really important for maximizing efficiency. I really like this game, but I wish it took some bolder strokes with the variable elements to really bring it to a new level.

Clans of Caledonia is a mid-to-heavy economic game set in 19th-century Scotland. At this time, Scotland made the transition from an agricultural to an industrialized country that heavily relied on trade and export. In the following years, food production increased significantly to feed the population growth. Linen was increasingly substituted by the cheaper cotton and raising sheep was given high importance. More and more distilleries were founded and whisky became the premium alcoholic beverage in Europe.

Players represent historic clans with unique abilities and compete to produce, trade and export agricultural goods and of course whisky!

The game ends after five rounds. Each round consists of the three phases:

1. Players’ turns
2. Production phase
3. Round scoring

1. Players take turns and do one of eight possible actions, from building, to upgrading, trading and exporting. When players run out of money, they pass and collect a passing bonus.

2. In the production phase, each player collects basic resources, refined goods and cash from their production units built on the game map. Each production unit built makes income visible on the player mat. Refined goods require the respective basic resource.

3. Players receive VPs depending on the scoring tile of the current round.

The game comes with eight different clans, a modular board with 16 configurations, eight port bonuses and eight round scoring tiles.
