[i]Comments based on playing only an online version of the game.[/i] Euro deckbuilding with a map. Pretty slick game that forces players to hand manage their deck to combo the right resources necessary to build and upgrade to score the most points. The game runs pretty quick, so you never build up a massive engine. And, the card effects are pretty mundane, so there aren't really any crazy combos to pull off. But, the game runs smooth and creates some interesting choices. It almost feels like a straight up better version of St. Petersburg.

[i]Average game, slightly boring, take it or leave it.[/i] This is another resource conversion game where players can gain resources and special abilities buy purchasing sections of the town, which is built with cards every game. Pace of the game is maintained by awarding players extra points for building in the section of town the timer marker is currently located in. This makes it less effective to race off down the board right away and causes players to compete for areas. The theme is like every other euro game (old europe, grain, brick, etc.) and at this point, uninspired. The game's variable setup does allow easily for expansions and variety in play over time. I'd play it again if it came up but nothing that I feel I really need to add to my collection. [c] Rating History: 22 Jan 2020 - 5 (1 play) 17 Jul 2017 - 6.5 (1 play) [/c]

Valletta first seemed like a tiresome pure deck-builder, but soon revealed itself to instead be an incredibly brisk, tense, and tempo-intensive engine building puzzle. Timing your builds with Vallette to earn the lucrative point bonus tugs at the often opposing benefits of chasing synergistic characters and useful income boosts. Additionally, the card pool available each game is uniquely shallow and forces flexibility within and across plays. There are a few rough edges though and the core loop can grow repetitive with successive plays, but on the whole Valletta delivered quite the surprise.
