  1. 7 out of 10

    EDIT: After two plays, I'm dropping this game to a 7. My comments below still apply, but there is just too much AP in this game to make it worthy of an 8. This game can easily go 1:30 if people AP the hell out of their turns, which is almost a certainty given what you are asked to do in this game. I think this is a brilliantly designed game. It's puzzly and interactive, a combination I love. However, the game won't be for everyone and it's certainly not perfect. The AP here is every bit as big a problem as it is with Pipeline and probably more so because it's critical to build a pipeline network that can both ship and receive goods and what you receive is entire dependent on what your opponent ships. I think that's brilliant. The need to discard truck cards to gain additional tiles is a wonderful mechanism because you need to equally build pipes as much as you need trucks, so you really don't want to discard one to get the other. The tension in that mechanic is great. I really enjoyed this play, but I might be stuck because the person I bought this to play it with didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did, therefore my opportunities to play it again might be limited. That's unfortunate, as this is a great game, very possibly better than Pipeline.

    Really enjoy it! Tip - for receiving just make sure you duplicate what your competitor is shipping. Example they ship a 4 red - be able to receive a 4 red.

    Well it's definitely better than Pipeline, that much is clear. It's kind of a weird spatial puzzle, though, and has a few rules that seem to be there... for no reason other than to make an already tricky game even trickier?

Be the first to review “Curious Cargo”

I stumbled upon a midnight market. It wasn’t selling flowers or farm goods. It was a more curious sort of cargo: energy capacitors, strange crystalline material, and something green and jiggly. Since then, I’ve been dragged into it, deep into the thick of it.

I paid a stranger more than I should have for manufacturing plans I hardly understood. Worse yet, they sold the same stuff to my best friend. Now, I have to get my supply lines up and running to prepare for shipping my cargo — and if my friend starts shipping some of this curious cargo, I’ll have to intercept their trucks and corner the market that way.

By hook or by crook, I’m going to be the king of curious cargo…

Curious Cargo is a two-player game in which you go head-to-head against your opponent by building up the infrastructure of your facility, calling in trucks at the right moment, all while perfectly timing the shipping and receiving of cargo to score the most points. Connect an interweaving web of lines to your shipping and receiving spaces. Play with two-color conveyor tiles, or step it up for an advanced experience and play with all three colors. Ship your custom-shaped cargo tokens to your opponent to interfere with their logistics plans!

The puzzling nature of Ryan Courtney’s Pipeline comes alive in Curious Cargo! With six unique player boards for each player and two game modes, a skillful challenge awaits even the sharpest competitor.
