Hermagor was the surprise of the evening. I was not expecting much and I was pleasantly surprised.

The game is pretty simple. It begins with a sort of auction phase / majority (not really an auction phase but I think it looks so ...) where everyone puts his pawns around tiles and hopes he covets gain the majority. This phase is quite tense but gives a slight perceived lack of control because, despite your best efforts, a player can steal one or another of your majorities ...

Then the action phase is where you will sell your tiles in different cities of the kingdom of Hermagor . Nothing really original, but here comes the strategy needed to win because you think about your next moves in advance.

Different ways of earning money (this is the richest wins) are numerous and allow quite different tactics.

Hermagor is a quite small but fairly long (2 hours), where a portion of luck involved in the auction but when you have to think out hope for the winner. A very nice game that I play again gladly .

SwatSh I join in his critique to say that ultimately Hermagor is not a game very, very complicated. The rules are quickly understood and easily applicable mechanisms.

The material is a good sign and makes me want to play, which is a quality for me.

The two main phases are:
1) the buyers: here, everyone has to put her 4 buyers (one at a time and each in turn). The objective is to acquire goods by tile majority. This is a phase slightly puzzles and where we "lose" time to reflect. It is the longest phase.

2) that of the merchant, around the city of Hermagor , the dealer each player will go from village to village to sell the goods purchased at the market. Less headache than the previous phase, each try to optimize their movements in order to earn a max of dough immediately and during the final phase of income.

The attraction is that the two phases are naturally related: we try to acquire goods market order to sell in the villages most interesting for us.

short, Hermagor is a good game to come out easily. Warning, this is not a game room but more thought (tactical and strategic). During the game, you could hear a pin drop;)

Very nice set but not very readable ...
