New game at home, “Candamir”

Last week I picked up a new game, Candamir: The First Settlers. I’ve played it a few times so far, and it’s pretty good. I thought I would share some analysis I’ve done on the tiles and movement cards.

• The tiles:
  • 2-player–This group of tiles contain the following bonus equipment and victory points: - Necklace (+2 Charisma) on a Plains tile - Bow (+2 Agility) on a Forrest tile - Boots (+2 Strength) on a Forrest tile - Shield (+2 Prowess) on a Mountain tile - Cattle on a Plains tile - Cattle on 2 Forrest tiles - Goat on 2 Mountain tiles
  • 3-player–This group of tiles contain the following bonus equipment and victory points: - Bow (+2 Agility) on a Mountain tile - Boots (+2 Strength) on a Plains tile - Cattle on a Plains tile - Cattle on a Forrest tile - Goat on a Mountain tile
  • 4-player–This group of tiles contain the following bonus equipment and victory points: - Necklace (+2 Charisma) on a Mountain tile - Shield (+2 Prowess) on a Plains tile - Cattle on a Plains tile - Cattle on a Forrest tile - Goat on a Mountain tile
• Movement cards with ability tests:
  • Fight Bear–7 of the 49 movement cards have the “Fight Bear” test. Ability rolls against Prowess are: - 6 or better: 1 card - 7 or better: 2 cards - 8 or better: 4 cards
  • Fight Wolf–6 of the 49 movement cards (with 7 tests) have the “Fight Wolf” test. Ability rolls against Agility are: - 6 or better: 3 cards - 7 or better: 2 cards - 8 or better: 2 cards
  • Catch Snake–9 of the 49 movement cards (with 10 tests) have the “Catch Snake” test. Ability rolls against Agility are: - 5 or better: 2 cards - 6 or better: 3 cards - 7 or better: 2 cards - 8 or better: 3 cards
  • Help Lumberjack–7 of the 49 movement cards have the “Help Lumberjack” test. Ability rolls against Strength are: - 6 or better: 1 card - 7 or better: 4 cards - 8 or better: 2 cards
