Cuba Libre: Calixto Bot Upgrade Pack (GMT) - Unbox & Quick Look

Watch “Cuba Libre: Calixto Bot Upgrade Pack (GMT) - Unbox & Quick Look,” a board game unboxing for Cuba Libre: Calixto Bot Update Pack on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by KilroyWasHere on YouTube:

“We are not savages ignoring the rules of civilized warfare. We are a poor, ragged army as ragged and poor as was the army of your forefathers in their noble war for independence, but like the heroes of Saratoga and Yorktown, we respect our cause too deeply to disgrace it with barbarism and cowardice.” — Letter from Cuban Gen. Calixto García to American Gen. William Shafter The Cuba Libre Calixto bot update pack brings the successful Jacquard bot system to Cuba Libre. Like its predecessors in Gandhi and Fall of Saigon, Calixto is quick to use and easy to implement but presents a challenge to any Cuba Libre player. When selecting Operations and Special Activities, cards are drawn from the Calixto deck—there are six cards for each Cuba Libre faction. Each card examines the current state of the game and selects the appropriate action for the active faction. A single, faction-specific table then determines where that action will occur. The same table is used to select spaces for Operations, Special Activities, and Events, minimizing the need to flip between multiple player aids.

About Cuba Libre: Calixto Bot Update Pack, from BoardGameGeek:

The Cuba Libre Calixto bot update pack brings the successful Jacquard bot system to Cuba Libre. Like its predecessors in Gandhi and Fall of Saigon, Calixto is quick to use and easy to implement but presents a challenge to any Cuba Libre player. When selecting Operations and Special Activities, cards are drawn from the Calixto deck-there are six cards for each Cuba Libre faction. Each card examines the current state of the game and selects the appropriate action for the active faction. A single, faction-specific table then determines where that action will occur. The same table is used to select spaces for Operations, Special Activities, and Events, minimizing the need to flip between multiple player aids. Playing against Calixto feels like playing against a human opponent. It is unpredictable yet responsive to strategic needs, it goes after its enemies while keeping an eye on its ally, and makes moves until now limited to human players-like choosing a Limited Operation to block an opponent's Event. Calixto can take the place of any faction in a Cuba Libre session and can be used in any combination of player and non-player setups.
