Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux

A 'not to complicated' euro from Shem. I liked it better than inventors, which I found complicated for the point of being complicated.

I enjoyed the engine building. It definitely ramps up where the next of 5 rounds takes almost as long as all the previous rounds before it. Pretty easy to teach and easy to table.

Yet, it just kind of falls into a mix of other non-memorable light midweight euros. In a crowded field, it doesn't stand out.

I'd play it again, but won't own it or suggest to play it.

I think this is the most perfect medium-light solitaire card game available today. 3 minute setup, no AI, almost zero admin, and plenty of Nemesis combinations to adjust the challenge.

It's really, really difficult though.

A very good draft and tableau building game. Simultaneous action selection saves a lot of time. Must try!

1. Basegame.
2. Kickstarter version.
