Dorfromantik: The Board Game
- Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
This cooperative and solo tile-laying game is peaceful and laid-back while also being strategic because of basic landscape placement rules and the task tiles that dictate how many adjacent landscapes of a specific type are required to collect them for end-game points. Once all landscape tiles are used, the game ends and players add their points for completed forest, grain, village, railway track, and stream tasks, as well as their longest railway track and river. There are also flags that gain points if they are surrounded by landscape tiles. The player with the highest score wins the game!
Another nice feature of this game is the optional campaign mode. After scoring is finished, you can fill out a campaign sheet that tracks progress from game to game. Reaching certain achievements and results lets players unlock one of the five component boxes included in the game. These add new challenges and tiles to create new and varied gameplay. Because these boxes also add lists of included components, players can pause a campaign with one group of players and adjust game components to either start a new game or continue another paused game with another group.
The manual for Dorfromantik is concise and clearly written to get new players up, running, and having fun quickly. I love the game’s uniqueness, and I am enjoying every minute of its play! Each game session lasts about 30-60 minutes with a player count of 1-6. Note: Dorfromantik won the prestigious Spiel de Jahres award as game of the year in 2023. ~ Marsha
In Dorfromantik – The Board Game, up to six players use hexagonal tiles to form a beautiful landscape together and try to fulfill the wishes of its population. At the same time, they must lay the longest possible train track and the longest possible river, and take the flags into account, which provide points in completed areas. The better the players succeed in designing their landscape, the more points they can achieve at the end of a game. During the replayable campaign, new tiles can be unlocked with the points scored in earlier games. Those tiles are initially hidden in small, closed boxes. They provide the players with new, additional tasks and make it possible to keep increasing the high score in this cooperative game.
It's hard to get more basic - and solid - than this program. The no-nonsense black and white worksheet format might deceive you, but fight it! They are engaging, with straight-forward teaching instructions (concept, introduction with manipulatives, how to use page) at the bottom of each. The scope and sequence is similar to Singapore's Earlybird Math and designed to prepare the student for Primary Math. It can be used as a supplement to Earlybird or as a stand-alone program. Many household items are used as manipulatives, but the few specific ones suggested are listed below (balance and pattern blocks are only referred to a very few times). ~ Janice
