Game Arrivals: Sept. 8, 2018

Here are our recent game arrivals:




New Game
Warsaw: City Of Ruins
North Star Games

New from North Star Games is Warsaw: City of Ruins, a city-building, tile-drafting, tile-laying strategy game based on the Warsaw’s unique architecture; a culmination of elegant buildings from Saxon times, both World Wars, socialist blocks, and modern day.


Warsaw: City Of Ruins is played over 6 rounds or epochs with 2 phases to each round – construction and income.  The rounds are marked by 6 stacks of city tiles and 5 milestone landmark tiles. During the game each player will construct a 3×4 grid of tiles that will make up their district. Each tile is divided into 4 quarters with one or more of the 7 types of buildings on it. During the construction phase, players will simultaneously select one of the tiles from their hand and either discard it for money or pay its cost and place it in their district according to the rules of placement. One of the rules of placement provides that a player may place a building over the top of an exiting one by paying the cost difference.
Next they will pass their hand of tiles to the player to the right or left depending on the turn number. Play continues in this manner until the hand of tiles has been exhausted. 
During the income phase the milestone landmark specific to that round will be awarded to the player who meets its criteria which can then be placed in their district. Next, players receive victory points and income according to the types of areas and buildings within their district. Additionally, public buildings and landmarks provide special abilities.
Play continues in this manner of construction and income/points through each of the stacks of tiles with two exceptions. At the end of round 3 and round 4 players will suffer the destruction of part of their district through the consequences of World I and World II respectively.  At the end of round 6 the player with the most points wins.
