Terra Mystica

**Terra Mystica** really needed a bunch of plays to click. Mostly I think this is because it just seems very counter-intuitive from first principles; the game gives you a victory point track and tells you that you want the highest score at the end to win. It also gives you a bunch of terraforming discs and tells you you need to terraform spaces to build on them, and that the biggest settlement at the end will get loads of points.

Nice collection. I am on the same timeline as you. Started buying smaller games about 7 years ago and now I can't get enough Terra Mystica

Influential board game Terra Mystica is spinning out with a simplified standalone game, Terra Nova.

Terra Nova boils down Helge Ostertag and Jens Drögemüller’s acclaimed 2012 board game into a shorter one-hour to 90-minute experience for two to four players - one fewer than Terra Mystica’s five-p...

And while I may have only discovered this wondrous game 5 or 6 years ago, a lot of things were different then.

In the end, it’s all about managing resources and gaining an advantage in Victory points by area control and advancing on the Cult tracks for bonus points. However, the game is so chock full of subtler scoring mechanics that it will blow your mind. Is Terra Mystica better than other Eurogames out there? Maybe

It’s low luck, high strategy and pure cranial demands make it a win in my book. Add that to the fact that each game will play out different with Terra Mytsica’s many paths to victory and there is a lot to love with this eurogame. After quickly selling out of its first print run, it’s finally back in stock

A game that can be played with 2 or up to 4 players that has some depth to it but doesn't take more than 45 min to an hour and will be liked by someone who enjoys Res Arcana and Café. Number of Players: 2 - 4.

Terra Mystica is, but only just. The end result probably averages out to about “pretty good” for me, but it’s challenging enough that I won’t play it very often. I have too many other games that I love actively without toughing it out with this one

The Fuzzy Llama Silver Seal of Distinction Positive Final Thoughts So overall I really enjoyed this game! The choices were interesting and the different factions were fun. I like the different terrain and how the workers work to transform the terrain based on your faction. Bottom line the gameplay in Terra Mystica is excellent and fun

The thing I would say about Terra Mystica master reviews done Tara. Mister, don't do that.
