Hi there fellow gamers! Harvey Cornell from Dragon Phoenix games here again to bring you our latest co-op adaptation in the Games for Friends and Lovers series.
Well, the next up was supposed to be Viticulture, but we scheduled it for next week and we still plan to meet that schedule, but we decided to squeeze another one in this week.
Our Century: Spice Road co-op adaptation is designed for 2-5 players. In this game, each player must acquire point cards adding up to a certain amount depending on the number of players and the difficulty level chosen. The problem is, some spice cubes will be removed from the game after most player turns, making it harder and harder to get what you need to complete the point cards. At some point it is not possible to complete any more cards due to loss of spice cubes and the players will lose if they have not met the point objectives.
We really enjoyed this design and we hope you will too.

Valeria: Card Kingdoms is looking very good and we are close to calling it done. We have moved into the testing phase on several other games, including Tikal, Alhambra, Trajan, and Caverna: the Cave Farmers. We are excited about all of these new adaptations, but Caverna in particular.

Carlie and I will be at the Board Game Geek convention in DFW this November. We will be wearing our Dragon Phoenix shirts and/or our new Games for Friends and Lovers shirts. If you see us, stop by and say hello and maybe play a game with us. If you are going, drop us a note and maybe we can make a point of meeting you.
Well, so long for now and Games Ho!
