Hello everyone, my latest acquisition. A game in "car" by our favorite author. Do you have any opinions?

There are some good reviews on BGG.  Would be curious to hear your thoughts after playing.  I am going to put it on my “of interest” list…

Thanks for sharing.

I started to explore the rules, the path connecting the action boxes at the start of the game is moderately well marked, then you get used to it, the movement between the meeples associated with the cards is fluid, several modules allow you to enhance the game.

I tried it recently, only the base game without adding the modules.
The game is beautiful but sometimes a bit confusing due to all the design details (not missing a spot to move your meeple isn't always so easy, especially in the later parts of the game.

I'd like to try it again and even add modules, but my gf don't like it so I don't know when I'll have a new chance to open the box  :(

Some modules are essential, such as the one that determines the first player in the next round of play.

When I say without additional modules, I for sure mean optional modules such as Annual Tiles, Whim of the Gods, Status Cards, Progress Tiles, Anaconda and Emissary Board.

The Annual Ceremony, wich determines who plays first for next round, is for sure part of the base game, not part of a module :)
