Coimbra introduces an innovative new dice mechanism in which the dice players draft each round are used in multiple different ways and have an impact on many aspects of their decision making. While there are many paths to victory, players should always seek to optimize their opportunities with every roll of the dice. Combined with ever-changing synergies of the citizens, expeditions, and monasteries, no two games of Coimbra will ever be the same!

Only played it 2P, but think it really shines at 4P. I think this is the next evolution for Dice Drafting (first Pulsar 2849 with choosing better dies and losing on a track) with paying the amount for the dice that you want. There is this push/pull and is difficult to decide to go for something "better" versus having to pay more money. Edited: best at 3 player. Wonderful at this player count.

Solid Eurogame, in the same league as Lorenzo, il Magnifico: lots of strategy. Check solo option on files.

Just didn't click with me. I realized I don't like competing on tracks and this one has 4 of them =/.
