Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling
The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.
Set Collection
Tile Placement games feature placing a piece to score VPs, with the amount often based on adjacent pieces or pieces in the same group/cluster, and keying off non-spatial properties like color, "feature completion", cluster size etc.

Kind of a bittersweet upgrade to the original. Reminds me of the lorenzo expansion in that it took a silky smooth hour-long game, doubled the amount of stuff going on, and added a half hour to the playtime. Normally that bothers me, but heres what it comes down to: burgundy anniversary is NOT recommended for people just getting into burgundy, or those who have played between one to ten times. I had played it just over 30 times and was able to play on autopilot. Win or lose, The game stopped challenging me At all. This version of burgundy was something i didnt know i needed, but did. It breathed new life into it, and its burning my brain again. The shields are also kinda bittersweet: they warp the game to the point that they have become the most important element, but its a fine tradeoff as they add SO much variety and now even new paths to the game. As far as the new art: yeah, its wayyyyy less functional and my girlfriend hates it but the old art was so ugly it hurt my retinas. Thanks to the new art, looking at this game no longer makes me sad, so its another fine tradeoff. The lack of an insert, which even the OLD VERSION had, or even cloth bags is unacceptable however. Im soooooo pissed off about this. So, final verdict: this is only for hardcore burgundy players who were burning out on the game.

Carried by its unique dice-mechanisms. Ugly, but well balanced, with lots of replayability and puzzly math. Set up ist fast, gameplay also. A deserved classic status.
