Arler Erde · German first edition · (2014)
Your rating:
1-2 players. 85 points on first solo-play. 110 is supposedly the score to beat. Seems easier than Agricola, paying your upkeep isn't quite so crippling. Liked the theme. One of my 2 most heavy games - weighs about a ton! Looking forward to more plays though I wonder if I'll ever find anyone to play it with. I think now I should have got Feast for Odin instead. At least then I could try and offer it up on a game night edit 2024: I had to update my rating. It had over the years fallen down a little. But I recently played solo 4 games of this with the expansion and it just sang. It had been quite some time since it was on my table and in my memory it was just big and daunting. When I got the expansion it seemed even worse. But in the years since 2014 I have played a lot more Rosenberg games and having got this back to my table it turns out it is one of the very best. It plays very quickly as a solo, the differentiation in the worker spots between the seasons is ingenious. I really enjoy the sheep multiplication and the additions of tea and trade are just perfect.
