Tobago? Is not that in Trinidad? Strictly speaking, lies the island of Trinidad and Tobago "in Venezuela in the southern Caribbean, and has always been a haven for pirates of the world's oceans. That is there to hide some treasures is self-

The thought probably Play-author Bruce Allen, and ordered the board game Tobago occur in the concerns of the tracing and recovery of resources. That values the players hints that they get to (Schatz) cards and take their SUVs to the determined position on the board.

This proves to be designed and constructed not only as a very beautiful, but also as a highly flexible because it consists of three parts, the front and back can be combined. This created plenty of interesting island landscapes unf therefore variable game histories.

The game itself is a deduction and intuition. This means that many possible solutions to be reduced by playing off of note cards to fewer and fewer opportunities to a unique assignment, the place where the treasure was created.

Players draw cards with messages like so: "The treasure is located on a beach" or "the treasure in two fields located around a hut," etc. These are the four notes simultaneously assigned to-find treasures, and evaluated on the field. For ease of reference to mark stones can be used which are placed on the possible sites.

The gambling treasure hunters are paid plenty, depending on the activity of treasure. It is, therefore, focus advantageous to themselves to certain resources and to ensure that they are within range of the SUV, so they can be reached fast and secure.

The distribution of the Treasury works on the "last in - first out" - Principle: The player who last placed a notice can choose first whether to take a previously discovered gold card itself. If he does, this is his share of the treasure. All other whistleblowers now follow.

The game would be boring if it only to determine "locality" and "race to the locality" would, for the "trouble" - factor would be missing altogether. What could be more than one of the island or foist several curses that are raised during the distribution phase of the gold and make the hoped-for windfall can destroy.

Can protect the player with only a mysterious amulet. Each time a treasure has been found, move the statues on a small piece and make a clear view not previously visible amulets. This, once collected, are flexible utensils, because they protect against a curse, but can also affect other ways the game.

The use of an amulet for example, can result in an additional movement of the SUV to determine accurate references or replace the reference cards. While this is never then Player, but speeds up the treasure hunt a little.

The charm of Tobago is clearly in the permanent "here must be" - "because he can not" and the race to the site. It's equally fun to be able to determine the first one locality, and also to be the first to be there and recover the treasure. The fact that the distribution of the treasure then others will be rewarded, is actually only to maintain the tension in the final scoring important. However, if you want to be truly successful, must have some tactical tricks that can occur as the deliberate use of amulets.

Tobago is in design - price, "Graf Ludo 2010 nomination, which is awarded to the" model-hobby-game "in Leipzig. The award honors game development, which by their design and atmosphere particularly outstanding. With its intelligent and detail-designed fixtures and consistent equipment Tobago has this nomination certainly well deserved as the host in the recommendation list for Game of the Year 2010 ". The game should be in every well-stocked library.
