Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 7 out of 10

    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.

  2. 6 out of 10

    Did I enjoy the game? Yes. Will I ever think about it again? No. Its an interesting take on deck-building but I don't think there is enough here for any deep strategy nor replayability.

  3. 7 out of 10

    A very good medium/light game that actually has some interaction and strategy in it. Artwork is a little odd but it works. Good components. I enjoy playing this, especially 4 player where I think it shines. Trade value:$20

In 1566, Jean Parisot de Valette, 49th Grand Master of the Order of Malta, laid the foundation for Valletta, the future capital of Malta.

In Valletta, players take inspiration from Jean Parisot de Valette in order to procure raw materials; hire merchants, bricklayers and roofers; and build their own version of the magnificent capital, with its mighty bastions, baroque buildings, and a right-angled street network. Cultivate your contacts with the Order of Malta to improve your reputation.

Players are supervised in their work by de Valette, who patrols his streets as a building inspector. When he reaches the end of his patrol, the game ends and a winner is determined.
