The Venice Game by Klaus-Jurgen Wrede (Carcassonne) has set itself the goal of creating a master builder from a desolate marsh area, the unique city of Venice. In the course of the game must therefore give way to many wetlands and instead be built bridges and stately buildings. For those buildings to get points and can sail with his gondola on the Grand Canal on a bit, to enter to win for themselves.

On the map, the five districts of Venice are separated. Each neighborhood consists of many hexagonal marsh areas, which can later be converted into building sites. The districts are separated by the point bar, which represents the channel.

Now it is up to you, Venice to build and shape. You need to collect the appropriate cards in the correct number to build in the right place and draining the respective construction sites. And your players can participate in the construction and start earning a percentage of profits as well. The clever architect to take the opponents sent off orders to move your pod as the most able.

The motion of points that can be purchased from a closed structure, are critically dependent on the Integrated Bar of points. Have you built a building in a district, besides which the grade is your pod, you'll get a treasure, and thus extra points on the point channel.

Tactically, you can also proceed to the tightening of building cards. You can register for open and concealed cards decide to bring your building as sent to the end.

Klaus-Jurgen Wrede has managed to create a strategic game, which is varied and entertaining. The game is not overly complex, but still offers many ways to win with tactical moves and bold calculations for the win. Very pleasant are the pieces of wood, which are designed very respectable. Only the schedule could have designed something more appealing.

Venice is a nice game for a little round in between.
