Yspahan Board Game




(GAME SUMMARY)

Drake says: "In Yspahan, players embody merchants trading with Yspahan. Meaning to take advantage of the coming of the Shah's Supervisor, they score points by placing their goods in the right shops, by sending them to the Caravan, and by constructing buildings. At the end of the game, the player with the highest score is the winner."






(TIPS/COMMENTS)

John says: "Yspahan has a great balance of short and long term decisions with a short playing time. There's an excellent dice mechanic, but an experienced player will likely be unaffected by the luck element."


Designer:

Sebastien Pauchon
