  1. 3 out of 10

    I considered backing Fuji Koro on Kickstarter but did not wind up back it in the end. When I had the chance to play Fuji Koro, I came into the game open-minded, and I was interested and excited to play the game. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy playing Fuji Koro. I was bored almost from the start of the game. Every once in awhile there would be a kernel of fun, but mostly I was bored. Six of us played the game. All experienced board gamers. One player had to leave before the end of the game, and things seems to improve a little with one less player. The game ran long though. And that was with us playing only to 30 points. The end game was the worst part for me. The race to the point board was very unsatisfying. One player hits 30 points (which took forever) triggers the end game and then starts gobbling up points off the board as the rest of the players try to get off the board to grab some points as well. It’s a bad version of Clank!’s end game. The game is very fiddly. Then there are the stupid, stupid cardboard dragons; that kept tipping over so much because of their stupidly short stands to the point that we started leaning them against the buildings or eventually replacing them on the board with dice. I won’t be playing this game again.

    Played the Prototyp twice on Berlin CON: The (Mine-)crafting mechanism is really nice and I like both artwork and theme very much. I have a few small concern about variability and some mechanisms. I still need to play it more often for a realistic rating, but it looks promissing.

    Such a fun game with a unique theme! I especially like the way you customize your characters. I got the standard version of it on sale--significantly less than half the price of the deluxe version--and I am not regretting it. This game is top-notch even without the bells and whistles. My only problem with the game is that it simply isn't the kind of game I prefer to play. Too much luck and not enough strategy.

Japan Hōsei 4 (1707).

Mount Fuji is on the verge of erupting. Red hot lava will soon consume the three secret Seien-ji (聖煙寺), sacred temples hidden deep in the bowels of the volcano. The Shōgun is determined to preserve the precious heritage and sends his most noble and gifted samurai warriors on a quest inside the volcano to retrieve the valuable goods.

After a grueling climb through snowstorms and treacherous rocky terrain the samurai find the entrance that leads down into the cavern.

The volcano rumbles and the walls start shaking! The floor underneath their feet crumbles and our brave samurai fall into the huge cavern that contains the three temples, which are slowly sinking into the smoldering lava.

It is now up to our heroes to explore the cavern and find as many of the relics, sacred scrolls, and monks as possible, to bring back safely to the Shogun before the volcano erupts and all is lost forever.

Fuji Koro can be played in a competitive mode with 2 to 6 players or a cooperative mode with 1 to 6 players.

Players will try and gather sacred scrolls and blueprints for magical weapons, gather resources, craft the best possible gear, and try to get out of the volcano before it fully erupts. To make matter worse, players will encounter fantastical dragons on their journey throughout the volcano, that they will have to try and defeat by themselves or with the help of other players.

The game continues until the end phase of the game, which is triggered by one player reaching 30 victory points. Once that happens, players will have 8 final turns to escape the volcano.

To win the game, a player will have to score the most victory points by defeating dragons, exploring the cave, crafting the right weapons and bringing magical gear, dragon teeth and monks to the Shōgun during the end phase of the game.
