Brought Ishtar by @iello_usa , a family / gateway game about building gardens in the desert, out to the table and enjoyed it. ? — We played 2p, with me taking the win at 87-71. ? Area control games normally fare well with more player counts because of its nature, however, this one played really well with 2, which I believe would shine even more with 3-4p. — First of all, Ishtar looks aesthetically awesome, colorful and really great on the table. I also totally enjoyed the gameplay mechanisms and experience it brought. — I just love how the mechanic in this game in terms of area control doesn’t have players going back and forth over having control of a fountain. Once you take control of a garden/fountain, it’s yours until the end of the game. The fun part that adds thrill is the fact that players can however, mess up your area and cut off your largest contiguous group of blooming flowers or limit the spaces where you can expand further in your area. I also loved the puzzly resource gathering and contract fulfillment aspect of the game, where you pick up different colored gems by placing a tile that matches patterns of gems on the board while avoiding tablets, and also fulfilling recipes with the gathered gems. — This game just has the elements of a nice and enjoyable gateway game and I would love to play this again and again. It really helps that set up of boards always vary in every game, so that it may provide better replayability. Turns are really quick as well, which I really appreciate, so as to keep everybody engaged. Ishtar is definitely a gem of a game! — ⭐️⭐️⭐️8/10⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice area-control game, with tile laying. The production is stellar. The game is more on the tactical side: try to profit from the situation, without making a move that sets others up for great moves. Unfortunately it's slightly longer than what it should be, and has to be played with 3 players (4 is too long, and 2 is too cut throat). Also, I'm afraid that the replayability is not great, and the rules explanation not hard but rather tricky, since there are areas inside areas.

Gosto muito deste jogo O setup e um pouco demorado e o jogo é incrivelmente rápido, acredito que é mais demorado explicar o jogo do que jogar uma partida inteira Ele te da muitas opções e acaba que só é possível fazer 2 ou 3 coisas por partida, eu gostaria qu ele tivesse uns 2 turnos a mais. Quero jogar mais!
