The ease of the rules and the finely meshed processes open up a competition for trade goods and coins, at the end of which everyone wants to be the best merchant in Lydia.“Lions Of Lydia”: Coins replace barter“Lions Of Lydia” takes place in ancient times. In Lydia, today's Near East, archaeologists have found the oldest known coins. This is exactly where the game comes in: it addresses the transition from barter to the monetary economy.The players' task is to skillfully use their merchants to acquire and upgrade land and generate resources. The Lydian merchants gild the property and bring in coins, which provide advantages as the game progresses and victory points at the end. Although the mechanisms have few rules, the opponents always have to carefully consider how they want to use their merchants and what adjustments they want to make. In addition to resource management, it is also important to keep an eye on progress on the influence track and the composition of your own merchants. Anyone who recognizes the tactical finesse can achieve success in a more targeted manner.The mechanism: two actions and many possibilitiesAt the start, each player has an estate and a bag with four merchants of different colors. On their own board, everyone can also show their possession of resources in the four colors that match the merchants, as well as their progress. The game board shows two areas: four goals - one each in one of the four colors - and a well field. There are also several lands available. On your turn, you reach into your bag and carry out one of two actions. He sends the drawn merchant either to one of the gates or to the well.The merchants generate resources at the gate. These come from our own lands that match the color of the gate, from the gate itself and from Allen the merchants who gathered there after it was installed. If you like, you can now convert resources into coins, provided there is one of the special Lydian merchants at the gate. The coins replace any resource and can bring in a lot of points at the end of the game.When a player reaches the sixth space on a resource track, he can either upgrade a land or advance on the progress track. Every new field brings a bonus during the game or for the final score.At the end of the gate campaign, the merchants are pushed to the well, and there are two colored ones at the gate. Finally, the player grabs one of the figures from the fountain and puts it in his bag.Merchants assigned to the well can acquire or upgrade additional lands. Both cost a certain number of resources. More land brings more resources and therefore wealth. Improved land increases the effect significantly. There are three different types of land: the silver-colored ones provide resources for goal actions, the gold-colored ones provide coins and the purple-colored ones provide victory points at the end of the game.Fine interaction of many sub-mechanismsThe trick with “Lions Of Lydia” is to optimize “bag management” on the one hand. With merchants in matching colors you can earn valuable goods at the gates. If these also fit your own lands, powerful leverage can be created. However, a certain element of chance remains. At the same time, everyone must keep an eye on your resources. These are important for acquiring and upgrading lands and for advancing on the progress track. Both are necessary to get the important victory points. From the interaction of these sub-areas, the players can develop tactics, the consistent pursuit of which can bring in a lot of victory points.Eight expansions includedIf you like, you can integrate the eight game expansions into the process. Each expansion brings just a small additional detail. However, the combination of these modular options noticeably changes the process and creates very different challenges that ensure long-lasting fun and enormous gaming excitement - the perfect board game for families and connoisseurs.Contents:1 city board4 player boards1 chariot racing board4 wooden gates40 merchants (wooden figures)16 resource markers (wood)4 influence markers (wood)48 wooden coins1 wooden figure of King Croesus12 purple land cards8 golden land cards4 fountain cards20 silver land cards4 silver starting land cards4 cloth bags1 well marker1 Kickstarter Edition wooden fountain marker4 grave/estate tiles (Alyattes' grave)4 courtyard tiles4 builder tiles1 scoring blockWith game rules in the following languages: DEThe title deals with the change from barter to coins in the ancient Near East and impresses with its elegant and tricky mechanisms.
