Watch “Messina 1347 Unboxing,” a board game unboxing for Messina 1347 from All Games New and Old on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by All Games New and Old on YouTube:
In this video I unbox Messina 1347 from Delicious Games, Rio Grande Games, and designer Vladimir Suchy.
In this board game the world is being ravaged by the black plague. You play as wealthy citizens trying to help the less wealthy citizens survive the disease.
Vladimir Suchy has designed several games that are highly regarded. So far I've only tried Praga Caput Regni which I really enjoyed. While this game looks really different, I have no doubt it will be of similar quality.
In this video I mention the podcast Board Game Hot Takes a number of times. You really should check them out. Here's a link https://boardgamehottakes.com

About Messina 1347, from BoardGameGeek:
Messina 1347 takes place during the introduction of the plague epidemic (a.k.a. the "black death") and the spreading of its infection through town. During this time period, merchant ships delivering luxury goods to Europe brought to these countries an unprecedented epidemic - and one of the first affected cities was Messina, Italy.
In the game, players take the role of important Messina families who are leaving town and moving to the countryside out of fear of being infected by the plague. While doing this, they are focusing on saving other inhabitants and helping to fight the plague infection in town. They must also endeavor to prosper in their countryside residence, where they are temporarily accommodating rescued residents. They are all waiting there for the epidemic to subside, then they return to Messina to take over and dominate particular districts in the town.
