Osada (2007)

About this game

Osada ("The Settlement") is a game of development. Players develop their regions from simple and poor settlements to powerful and rich cities acquiring gold and other resources and building constructions like castles, mints, barracks, ports, cathedrals or universities. They can attack each other - and they can be attacked - thus they are able to recruit armies. The key to victory is to balance the economic and military development to achieve final supremacy over other players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
