Courtisans Review: It’s (Probably) Not What You Think
Просмотров 26514 дней назад
This week, Jarom’s reporting on Courtisans, a feisty little game about court-clashing and queen-schmoozing for 2-5 players released by Pandasaurus Games earlier this year. The bottom line? It’s a lot of fun…. Though depending on your grasp of French, the title may strike you as a shade salacious.

    • @JumbleAndGaff
      @JumbleAndGaff 13 дней назад

      Unbridled puns will always received a worm welcome around these parts. Sand's theme is the crucial part of the game for me, as well-- the worm rider dynamic is a lot of fun! With 3-4 people, the length comes in between 2.5-3 hours, usually, though I have had a game go past 3.5 (that was with 4 players, 1 of whom is a particularly thoughtful fellow 😝). Mapping out efficient routes is critical to gleaning success from the game, and folks tend to spend a LOT of time thinking out turns as a result. My personal favorite experience is with 2, but I enjoy playing with 3, as well-- it can get wonderfully vicious 😈 (songs get more important/more contested with more players).

    Great video. Regarding your recommendation to pick uprising if you were new to the game, does your recommendation take into account the weight/complexity of the game? In other words is uprising easier to learn and get into compared to the original?

    • @JumbleAndGaff
      @JumbleAndGaff Месяц назад

      Yes, it is easier to learn, and easier to get into. It's still fairly dense-- as far as rules complexity goes, both titles are about even (Uprising is *slightly* simpler, but just slightly)-- but Uprising trims away some of the sprawl in the original, which makes for an experience that's more intuitive & accessible.

      Not particularly: I didn't find this one nearly as approachable as titles like Splendor or Azul, and the rulebook isn't as well organized as what you'd find in something like Wingspan. It'd be one to jump on if you've tried those games, you like what they offer, and you're looking to wade a bit deeper into the board game pool-- as long as the theme appeals to you! The theming here made all the difference for me.

You only get one map with rain on it. They could have done some card board cut outside to put on the other maps so they can experience the rain. Also they tell you to draw on the Italy map where a sticker would have been great bc sorry not drawing on my base game map. They should have included updated cards to include the new car in the ai cars.
