Board Game Geek gives Ragusa an average player rating of 8.38! This 2020 board game by Brain Crack Games is a Kickstarter exclusive. It's designed for 1 to 5 players. The game includes the core game, screen - printed wooden score trackers, a custom wood market adjustment token, 4 custom - cut 'powerhouse' wood pieces, and all unlocked stretch goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Set in the legendary city of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik), players are tasked with building the 15th - century city. They construct great towers, boost trade with the East, and seek their fortunes. Players build houses between three hexes, accessing resources in rural areas and actions in the city. A house acts as a worker, triggering three spots at once. Use countryside resources to build, trade, and craft commodities whose values change as ships come and go. In the city, each spot offers access to three surrounding actions. This simple worker placement leads to a deep engine - building mechanism. Building near production spaces uses existing countryside houses, and building near other players' houses re - activates them, giving others chances outside their turns. The game ends when all houses are placed, and the player with the most points wins. At TheGameSteward, we're happy to back campaigns like this. A good portion of your spending on Ragusa will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
How to play: First, set up the game by laying out the core game components, including the wooden score trackers, market adjustment token, and 'powerhouse' wood pieces. Decide who goes first among the 1 - 5 players. Each turn, build houses on the spaces between three hexes to access resources in rural areas and actions in the city. Use the resources you gain from the countryside to build buildings, trade, and craft commodities. Keep an eye on the changing value of commodities as ships move in and out of the harbor. In the city, make use of the actions available at each spot. Remember, building near production spaces and other players' houses can give you and others extra opportunities. The game ends when all players have placed their houses. The one with the most points from all sources wins. Note: This is a Kickstarter exclusive game. Unless otherwise stated, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included. Maintenance: Keep the wooden pieces away from moisture to prevent warping. Store the game in a dry, cool place when not in use. If the game board gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
