The Gazebo - Issue #3

cal manipulation. We played with a group of four, but I can see the game being easily playable all the way from two to six.

Trans-Europa also has a sibling - Trans-America. I’ve not played Trans-America, but the owner of the set I played tells me that the map makes for a more challenging game, and more extreme results, but has identical game-play. If you’re looking to buy one or the other, keep this in mind.

LITERACY: None.

CHALLENGE: 3/5 - easy game to play, luck factor is present, but not overpowering RULES: 5/5- Exceptionally simple.

SPACE NEEDED: 2/5 (1 being smallest, 5 largest)- board space only REPLAYABILITY: 4/5- simple strategies, cards make the game near-infinitely re-playable PORTABILITY: 3/5- while not big, the board wouldn’t stand up to moving (or bumping) well.

PACKAGING: 3/5- standard sized box, no wasted space QUALITY: 3/5- simple board, cards, and playing pieces.

OVERALL RATING: 9/10- great game, lots of fun, easy to play, quick to pickup
