The Palaces of Carrara

[sourisdudesert]

We are proud and happy to introduce today The Palaces of Carrara, a game by Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling, published by Hans im Glück.

In this game, you have to build palaces in kingdom cities. To do this you must use resource blocks coming from a spinning wheel. On your turn, you must do one of the 3 following actions:

• Pick some resource blocks on the wheel.
• Build a building.
• Score. You can score points depending on your buildings and objectives.

Because of the objectives, this game is a race, and one of the key point to success is to observe your opponents and try to guess when they are going to score. The Palaces of Carrara is really easy to learn, with very simple actions, and we recommend it for everyone. After your first game, we recommend you to play with the "Expansion" option, so you can enjoy all the subtleties of this rich game.

To learn more about the game, you can watch the following walk through:

This beautiful adaptation has been developed by Pierre Scelles (pikiou) using BGA Studio. Pierre is now a veteran BGA Studio developer, and he did an incredible job: thanks a lot!

BGA would also like to send a big "thank you" to the whole Hans im Glück team for their wonderful games, and for making it possible to have this game here.

Enjoy!

My thanks to the alpha and beta testers! You motivated me into making this game a pleasure to discover.
Hope you'll like it as much as I enjoyed programming it ^^

If you feel like you're being asked too often to click or confirm something which seems obvious to you, it's because your opponents aren't supposed to know what's behind your screen.

Another great adaptation by Pierre Scelles!

Wow, "The Palaces of Carrara" is not available in the United States, probably because it's out of print.

Thank you for making this game available. It is hard to find here in the U.S., so I appreciate having the opportunity to learn the game. It is fun, and the game play is smooth.

Well done!

Très bien! Merci!
