Medici the Card Game by Reiner Knizia
15Medici is a classic game of auctions and careful bidding. In this Card Game version, Reiner Knizia has taken the essence of that and boiled it down into a fantastic push your luck card game without an auction phase.
Reveal 1, 2 or 3 cards - you must take the last card on the row! You are trying to collect sets for the Phase 2 scoring but also trying to collect high value cards for the Phase 1 scoring. Whoever has the most coins wins the game after 3 rounds.
I quickly unbox, review the components, take a look at the flow of play and make a light review of this new game from Grail games
Clarifications:
Cards without goods (the green 2 and the black 7) are not stored in the warehouse, and so are returned to the box and are out of the game.
I didn't do Phase 2 scoring, I should have done so to show the total score for both players. I think it ends up at about 40 vs 35 florins after the first round.
Official Commodities are grain, spice, fur, dye, and
cloth. NB - any number of green cards can be loaded onto a ship, as these do not require a loading space
