    The Great Zimbabwe is a game about building a trade based civilization in ancient Africa. It has been inspired by the old kingdoms surrounding the Great Zimbabwe, a world heritage site in southern Africa.
    In the game, players strive to build the most impressive monuments to one god of their choice. They can choose this god themselves-- each of the twelve gods offers a unique blessing, but each also requires a different amount of work to win the game. Building the monuments is done by developing a logistics network stretching across the region. Through this network, players produce and obtain ritual goods to raise their monuments and bring honour to the god of their choice.

    Unfortunately, there is a mistake. Players may use ANY number of acquired specialist cards during their activation. NOT one.
    The rules were quite misleading . Sorry. Annotations are added . Always use Klingon subs!

      Ok, that was a motivating comment. Thanks so much. Use Klingon subs. I made a mistake. You may use any number of specialist cards during your activation. Not just one.

    A couple of times in the video, you say that a player may use their monuments as hubs. Actually, a player may use ANY player’s monuments as hubs (assuming the purpose is legal of course, i.e. not for a craftsman to reach a resource), right?

    • @peakyboardgamer
      @peakyboardgamer  2 года назад

      You are right. I have to recheck the video and add annotations where needed. Thanks

    Hello again, I just played my first game yesterday and I really got punished for building craftsman because right after I did someone built a secondary craftsman.. Can it sometimes be a game of chicken to see who does it first. Thanks for your time

      Never do sth if another player gets more of your action.

    Great job with the video. Im sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't find the answer. What is the number under how many victory points you get from monument height, level 5 is 8 vp and 21 ? Thanks for your time

    • @peakyboardgamer
      @peakyboardgamer  Год назад

      Dont get confused with the +2, +4 +6 and +8 numbers. Forget about them.
      Level 1 monuments worth 1 VP each, level 2 monuments worth 3 VP each, level 3 monuments worth 7 VP each, level 4 monuments worth 13 VP each and level 5 monuments worth 21 VP each
