Let's save the trees on our table with #treetopia! #boardgames #tablegames
0In today's video we're going to discover a board game that I wasn't sure about bringing to the channel, but after seeing it on the Hirtemis new releases shelf and talking about it with Renato, I decided to try it, and was pleasantly surprised, the board game in question is Treetopia!
For a few years now, trees have become the real protagonists of board games, outclassing heroes, adventures, explorations, but also our beloved workers: there isn't a month that a board game doesn't come out in which you create forests and ecosystems and perhaps for this very reason when I told you about Treetopia, in a Tg Table, I wasn't particularly impressed. Fortunately, however, I decided to give Treetopia a chance and trying it I found an interesting and very competitive board game.
Treetopia is a board game in which we should save trees from hostile environments, transporting them to a sanctuary, making sure to fulfill their needs; all through a system that holds together the trees to be saved and the resources that we will need to save them and the requests of the trees themselves, in the same card.
The game design provides only 2 actions: one in which we will recover the cards containing the trees and another that will allow us to skip the turn to use spells from the next one that will expand our possibilities for that turn.
The main action of the game that allows us to obtain resources and possibly save the trees but also has a counterpart, at the end of each round we should necessarily have in our hand only three cards and the extra one must be made available to the other players sitting around the table in a common reserve, this expedient means that in each round we should be very careful in being able to pursue our strategies without favoring the others. Furthermore, by saving the trees we will not only obtain the points shown on the card but also bonus points based on the positioning of the latter in the sanctuary, which will reward those who will increase groups of trees. These and other aspects make Treetopia very interactive and competitive.
Florian Sirieix seems to have wanted to create a board game, in which every type of player can immediately understand the mechanics to set up a strategy, the presence of a sheet that clearly and directly explains all the needs of trees seems to go exactly in this direction!
Treetopia is a board game for 2 to 4 players, recommended for ages 8 and up, for an estimated duration of 20 minutes, created by Florian Sirieix, with illustrations by Laura Bevon, published in Italy by Little Rocket Games.
