Stonemaier Games Pendulum, One Size

Good quality

Il prodotto è arrivato integro e nei tempi previsti. Non ci abbiamo ancora giocato per cui non posso dire nulla in merito. Per il resto siamo rimasti piacevolmente stupiti nel trovare all'interno le istruzioni del gioco in italiano nonostante nella descrizione fosse indicata la lingua inglese. Bellissimi i manuali di istruzioni. All'interno della scatola si trovano anche le bustine per conservare le pedine. Bellissime le clessidre.

This is a great game that is totally different than any other game I’ve ever played (not saying it’s the only game like it, I just don’t know if it). I’d recommend adding this to your board game collection is it is a unique experience. I understand that some people feel that it’s chaotic but to me, the chaos doesn’t feel negative. It’s chaotic when you want to go faster than your resources or strategy allows. It’s chaotic when you want to slide your worker in before a timer moves to get more resources. But there are times that you wait for the timers to move so you will have downtime to stop and think about your next few moves. Pendulum has time-based, worker placement, and engine building all in one game and in my opinion, did it very well. I think the game is fantastic and truly recommend everyone who enjoys board games to get it.

Pendulum es un juego Worker Placement y Engine Builder que se juega a 3 rondas. Con personajes asimétricos y componentes muy bonitos, relativamente pocas acciones y pocos recursos, y con un objetivo de juego que no se basa tanto en puntos, sino en cumplir objetivos y no ser el peor. Hasta ahí podría estar describiendo a muchos otros juegos en el mercado. Entonces entran los relojes de arena y el caos comienza. Los creadores, a través del instructivo, te aseguran que no es una carrera, no se trata de ser el más rápido, sólo saber sacar lo mejor de tu tiempo, y efectivamente así es, sin embargo, esto no quita la prisa y ese sentido de urgencia y de tener una vista panorámica de todos tus trabajadores para no olvidar cometer errores, olvidar acciones, u olvidar recolectar los recursos para pagar dichas acciones. Nos divertimos muchísimo con este juego, siempre nos quedamos picados y con ganas de más, muchos hubieras y mucha estrategia que por el estres del tiempo no logramos hacer en algún determinado juego. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, les puedo decir que estaba muy dudoso por la cuestión de los relojes y la prisa, pero no podía estar más equivocado, lo recomiendo al 100%

An “easy to learn”, “giftable” game without too much “thickness” (don’t know the context). Stonemaier drills into your brain the concept of the timers. If you take those away, it’s a very straight forward worker placement game, with a small amount of tableau building. Take an action, get an item, use those items to take a more powerful action. I can see this getting hectic at the 4 to 5 player games. I’m mainly a solo-2p gamer, and this game flows nicely at 1-2 players. Automa is easy to figure out and perform. There IS a way to play without the timers, but I think that detracts from the intention of the game. The timers add an element of tension and player blocking. Without it, I can see it as a stale worker placement game.

No hay AP, en momentos frenético y en otros caótico, grata experiencia y gran adquisición para variar una ludoteca, lo recomiendo al 100
