Yellow & Yangtze via the fun #oilistapp. Up to about play 5 and it’s maturing in interesting ways as our play evolves and adapts. One interesting thing is that while Tigris & Euphrates seems to really want 4 players, Yellow & Yangtze seems pretty robust at either 3 or 4. Anyway, continuing to quite enjoy. #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgames #yellowandyangtze #grailgames https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn5miP4BsKw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=71lm8ktrxll0

My first play through of Yellow and Yangtze went fairly well. I haven’t played Tigris and Euphrates, but my friends who have said that Y&Y smooths out some of the right edges found in T&E. I will definitely be doing another play through soon! @grailgames #boardgames #thedicetower #gamergirl #todieforgames #games #tabletop #geekandsundry #geek #geekgirl #analoggaming #fun #new #gamer #gamergirl #blerdgirl #blerd #yellowandyangtze https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnit95MDm2i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q8ikhq6e3p39

Yellow & Yangtze (2018, Reiner Knizia). La reimplementación de toda una obra maestra como es Tigris & Éufrates, ahora ambientado en la antigua China.

Getting locked in with Yellow & Yangtze, up to about 6 or 7 plays now. It’s won me over. I have to say one of the things that struck me was the ease of setup. Playing a lot of contemporary euros, getting the game set up properly can be half the battle of learning to play - getting all the stacks of cards laid out properly, the cubes seeded, the chits in the right boxes, the players their starting cards, and so on. This you just empty the box, put out a small number of initial tiles into clearly marked spaces, draw your hand of 6 tiles, and go - it’s great. One interesting thing I noticed is that there’s an interesting bend in the river where, if you have 3 Farmers in your starting hand, you can just drop your blue leader and build a Pagoda on turn 1. It seemed like a super-strong opening play if you had it. But it turns out that the way the river there constrains your growth and the way the topography of the board kinda channels growth - in a way that’s rather different than the original Tigris & Euphrates - that opening play can be vulnerable as well. Last random observation, my general feeling about Tigris & Euphrates is that it really wants 4 players; 3 is OK but feels less tight to me. Yellow & Yangtze seems equally good with 3 or 4, and I kinda suspect it has something to do with that blue Pagoda site in the middle of the board. While in T&E players will tend to build from the edges and corners and move in, Y&Y focuses your attention on the middle of the board right from the start. Anyway, really interesting game, and I’m sure it’ll have no trouble getting to 20+ plays. #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgames #reinerknizia #yellowandyangtze #tigrisandeuphrates #grailgames https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp_ggysDxA_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13x7kd7qjt0ii
