Agora Barcelona (2005)

About this game

Overview: Ever since Barcelona was founded its citizens, of whatever class or condition, have taken advantage of their moments of leisure to stroll around the city's squares, always finding time to visit their local neighborhood plaça or some other square a little further away. Whether imposing or intimate, latest-generation or laden with legends, verdantly planted or starkly concrete, the squares of Barcelona are genuine spaces of communication and enjoyment. Agora Barcelona is a majority game played on the street map of Barcelona, as the players try to occupy more and more squares with their strollers.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
