  1. 6 out of 10

    A little repetitive but interesting puzzle-race. If you like combos you'll like this game. A little predictable as to who will win in the last couple of turns.

  2. 6 out of 10

    Rather mediocre design in general, but at least it's quick. The game is in essence a race. And you can control only your own engine. Almost no interaction and if it happens it's mostly accidental. So basically a solitaire game of optimization of your engine and someone gets to win at the end. Hardly exciting. The ergonomy (or rather lack thereof) is a smaller issue. But terrible choice of colours make the game more unintuitive than it needs to be. Plus the layout of tokens is really confusing and unnecessarily gets in the way of playing too.

  3. 7.5 out of 10

    A pretty clever design, even if the game itself is very, very dry. I like the blend of randomness vs. pure information, as you can plan several turns in advance while still preserving a lot of uncertainty and variety. I'm not a huge fan of "racing Euros," in which it can often become clear which player is going to win several turns in advance, but the game is short enough that it doesn't bother me. My biggest complaint is that the random setup (both on a player's board and in the Plaza/Siq) can give one player a very advantageous starting position over others.

At the intersection of the most well-traveled trade routes in the old world lies a city within rose-colored cliffs. A place where caravans miles long enter the city, through a narrow canyon called “the Siq.” Inside, traders from faraway lands find shelter and a place to trade their wares among the stunning buildings carved into towering red rocks. This is Petra, and never before or since has there been a city quite like it.

In Passing Through Petra, you are a powerful citizen growing your settlement and your reputation. As caravans pass through the canyons, you’ll welcome traders into your market and facilitate trade with those looking to get their hands on valuable wares. Use these transactions to spread your influence and gain unique benefits to grow your economic engine. Spread your influence the quickest to become the most powerful leader in Petra!
