Barrio (2023)

About this game

Build houses to form the best view of the neighborhood, but be careful because here you share the materials with the rest of the neighborhood and it may be that they get ahead of you or that you end up building with more of what you needed. In each round, each player will be able to add resources to the common market or build houses to add to their neighborhood. Each house needs different resources, and each house will be connected to another depending on the type of neighborhood.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
