Game played: Magier von Pangea, Die ( Queen ) BGG Id: 1309

A low turnout this week but it gave us a chance to try out some games that take a lower number of players. First up was Die Magier Von Pangea by Ralf Burkert, a name new to me. The game has some interesting mechanics and plays very quickly with lots to think about, which is a pretty good combination in my book. Players are magicians trying to obtain enough magic amulets to secure victory. However, the number varies depending on how many goods you are also able to acquire. Players take magic actions on their turn which enable them to do things like move the landscape, introduce new workers or move neutral workers. Then you are able to move your workers and buy amulets if you meet an opposing worker, followed by which you are able to manufacture goods.

There is a fair bit to try and judge what actions are able to benefit you best, while checking what your opponents may be able to achieve. Our game was pretty close with Mark G being able to manufacture goods very easily. However, he couldn't acquire amulets as easily as Mark K or me, and Mark K was able to seize the victory with 4 amulets and 10 goods, with me just 4 goods adrift.
