Watch “Board Game Advent Countdown | #2 Coimbra,” a board game video for Coimbra from Family Meeple on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Family Meeple on YouTube:
Over the next 2 days I'll be continuing to share my top 24 "new to me" games from 2022 in Advent Calendar Countdown fashion! Each day, leading up to Christmas, I'll be sharing the top games that I played for the first time in 2022. The games do not need to have been published in 2022, they just have to be ones I hadn't played until this year.
This is a challenge that I did last year through my Instagram account and will be continuing this year both on Instagram and here on YouTube. I hope you'll join us each day as we count down the best games I played for the first time this year.
We want to wish everyone a very happy holiday season however you celebrate.

About Coimbra, from BoardGameGeek:
In the 15th and 16th century, Portugal is thriving under its leading role during the Age of Discovery. Nestled in the heart of Portugal, the city of Coimbra serves as a cultural center of the country. As the head of one of Coimbra's oldest houses, you seek to earn prestige by deepening relationships with nearby monasteries or funding expeditions of the era. To reach this goal, you must vie for the favors of the city's most influential citizens, even if you must offer a bit of coin or some protective detail.
Coimbra introduces an innovative new dice mechanism in which the dice players draft each round are used in multiple different ways and have an impact on many aspects of their decision making. While there are many paths to victory, players should always seek to optimize their opportunities with every roll of the dice. Combined with ever-changing synergies of the citizens, expeditions, and monasteries, no two games of Coimbra will ever be the same!
