Sardegna Review

About Sardegna, from BoardGameGeek:

Embark on a journey to the 14th century where the Kingdom of Sardegna is on the brink of greatness! Ambitious nobility vie for control, aiming to leave their mark as the most influential Sardenians of all. Command ships, build towns, erect grand towers, and settle villagers and priests across the rugged landscape of Sardegna! In Sardegna, players use character cards to deploy and maneuver pieces, claiming influence across the island's 16 provinces. In each round, Victory Points are up for grabs for the two players with the most sway in the scoring location. However, Strategy is key because you'll only know the next two scoring locations at any time. So, clever timing, a keen wit, and preparation will be your greatest allies. Each player utilizes an identical set of character cards with unique abilities and limitations, and every move can shift the fortunes of influence. Opponents will do their best to thwart your control, scoring zones can jump unexpectedly, and your provinces can lose their value in a flash!
