Build boats? Build more boats? Maybe in the evening build even more boats? That's Shipyard in a nutshell. And it's great.
For me Shipyard is in a special place. It's a heavier game that isn't that heavy. The rules teach is relatively straight forward as everything makes sense. This gets you this. This gets you that. This costs this. That does that. Test your boat.
This game is different from most as there aren't these massive combo chains. You work in bursts. Or work for a long time building a giant boat to get one huge point sum. It's lovely.
It's a game that feels classic, yet it feels unique and charming. Fancy a ride on a boat good lad? Well hop aboard! This is something special.
The 4 rondel system and the action choice system are so fun to maneuver. Money is right and using it for that bonus action rockets you forward just enough to be a threat.
This game hooked me on Vladimír Suchy's designs and honestly reinvigorated my love for games like these. For interworking systems and getting better with each play. It reminded me of friendly competition and a live for the craft of board game design. That in and of itself is something special. ✨
