The Road to Canterbury
60m - 60m
2 - 3 Players
Ages 10+
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.
Set Collection
Maneuvers that directly attack an opposing player's strength, level, life points or do something else to impede their progress.

This light card-game feels like it's carefully constructed and well thought out. You can tell where the designer intended there to be tension and tricky decisions but it still comes off a bit vanilla to me. players "invest" sin cards on to three different pilgrim caravans. Pardoning those sins gets you points, and the more sins of the same type, the more points you get. However you can rarely do more than one thing in a turn, so playing a bunch of the same sin cards will more than likley just set up a rival for a big score. There are some clever ways that the cards circulate. Pilgrims die after 7 sin cards are played on them but some cards get played without the player's control which makes the game less predictable (in a good way). Players can also get a sizeable bonus by ignoring the "main" game of focusing on pardons and simply try and spread as much discord and sin as possible. everything seems to line-up nicely for a fun tactical game. The theme is right, and the ideas are true, but perhaps it's too subtle for me to really latch onto so far. At least it's fast. So I wouldn't mind playing it a few more times before final judgement. As it stands I think that Wyatt Earp has some similar mechanics but is more fun.

First play. Rules are straight forward enough so we launched in quite quickly. First thoughts were that 2-3 was a very strange number for a game, but ho hum. It became quickly apparent that there is a generous slice of luck doled out with this game. The blind draw from one of three deck, the appearance of death cards that can give the next player the chance to 'kill off' the pilgrim, the variance in the relic cards. It all combined to give me the impression that the game was driving the action and the players were just passengers there to enjoy the ride. Somehow the mechanisms just don't seem to gel. Its OK. Not a game I'd ever buy or rush to play again

I'm obsessed with The Canterbury Tales so I figured id love the game too. Its not bad, it just isn't thrilling to play. For some reason I cant really get my brain wrapped around this one. I love the art and antique look, but not my favorite to hit the table.
