Very good. Why no-one else has made a rich, interesting pick up and deliver game in the intervening 30 years since this originally came out is beyond me. Classic version edges it for me.

The variable setup of this game makes for a different play each time, inspite of relatively simple concepts driving the play. I absolutely love this game, and if three or four people that know the rules get down to business it can finish in 90 minutes. This one is not to be missed. Oh, by the way, original rule set. Apparently FFG rewrote the rules, which is kind of like rewriting MacBeth to tighten up the dialogue. Sometimes you just need to let things alone! ]]> Fri, 26 Apr 2019 16:42:25 +0000 <![CDATA[Merchant of Venus: ]]> https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1281 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1281 ]]> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 18:30:35 +0000 <![CDATA[Merchant of Venus: ]]> https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1133 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1133 Deep, satisfying routes game that randomizes every time. The supply and demand system is brilliant on a number of different levels. ]]> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 07:22:03 +0000
