Super fast write ups of early/mid Winter…  ⛄️❄️

Hello all!

Snow has fallen here on Long Island… and snow has melted. The temps have remained below freezing for more consecutive days than in years past… <sigh> but, this just means more time for gaming!  Well… or uh… traveling.  Ahem.

Anyhoo… I’ve spent the last few days getting my tax info prepared… and doing the same for my Uncle’s taxes.. and well… it’s going to be another “copy/paste the basic write-up into each new game” sort of day. And laughably, the next little section is copied from my December write ups… and is still relevant! Someone save me… from myself! 🙏😆

Is that a smidge underwhelming? 😬

Why yes… yes it is.

But will that let me finish in time for a late dinner? 😃

Why yes… yes it will (or at least it should). 😅 Haha. My LIFE! 🚀

Here we go… buckle up. 🛻

This Upstart bundle includes Tabriz Premiere Edition and the Metal Coins and the Wooden Dice Tower and the Punchboard Promo Pack that was a gift for followers of the campaign! So… everything there is. 😉 That’s it, folks! That’s it and that’s all!

OK… I have to at least break my time-saving-rambling-silence to mention that I absolutely adore this game!  I play tested it a bunch with Randy and friends/family… and I have always loved it! You all know I am exceptionally partial to worker placement… and this game just hits all the wickets for me!  I’ve always loved it even more than Cascadia!!!  <gasp> It is solid… trust me. SOLID!

Here’s my quote from the Gamefound campaign page (yes, the people at Crafty were nice enough to ask me to add a few rambling sentences.  OK.. they didn’t say “rambling” sentences… haha… but those are the only sentences I deal in. 😆😅

“I LOVE THIS GAME!! Tabriz is an incredibly fun experience every time I’ve played. it just works on so many levels. Elegant mechanícs… immersíve
theme… wonderful artwork and bits… Plenty of tension in every decísion! My mind is constantly jumping from “I hope no one buys that plant dye!”
to “Sweet, sweet silk… you’re míne!” and “Eeeek! I’m loving this! OK, I’m smitten. There, I saíd it.” — Drew Schiemel – Upstart Boardgamer

Oh brain… you are an interesting guide.. haha. Moving right along…

As always, if you have ANY questions.. please reach out! I am here to help! 😊

I’m usually available unless I’m driving, flying (usually in a jet), fiddling with my wood burning stove, reloading my bird feeders, or asleep! 😅🚗✈️🪵🔥🐦‍⬛💤

Gamefound Campaign Link – to check and see all wonderful game bits and juicy exclusive content!!

I do want to at least post a link to the original campaign… in case you want to take a closer look… 😉 The link can be found HERE.

Again… sooo sorry, everyone! I’ll get back in the swing at some point… argh! 🏴‍☠️😭

Description

Tabriz Premier Edition and extrasAnother ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC game by Randy Flynn and the good people at Crafty Games! Tabriz Premier Edition and the metal coins and the wooden dice tower and the Promo Punchboard pack (Bonus Tile & Dice Pool Board – aka the Followers Gift)!! SO dang sweeeeeeeeeeet!!

Weave and sell luxurious carpets in the bustling Persian market city of Tabriz. Fill commissions for the commoners and before long the merchants and royals will take notice as well. Earn the most prestige from completed commissions to win the game and become known as the undisputed master of your craft.

On your turn, you move one of 3 assistant meeples through the Grand Bazaar and take the action where it lands. Actions include buying, trading, and rolling dice for wool, camel hair, silk, plant dye, and carmine dye. Each assistant has limited range, but with careful planning you can set up a quick and efficient series of actions to net you all the materials you need for your commissions before another player completes theirs.

At the end of each turn, if you have the necessary materials, you may complete 1 commission you have in hand.

Resources are limited and the market fluctuates every round. Watch for opportunities to grab more for less, and be careful to avoid moments when the resource you need is out of stock everywhere. Gain skill to attract better commissions, move your assistants further in each round, claim and complete multiple commissions at once, and earn bonus prestige. Optionally, play with the Advanced Workshop Mode so every weaver has their own unique ability taken at the start of the game and at the end of every round.

When any player completes 9 or more commissions, or gains the maximum of 14 skill, the current round is finished and the player with the most prestige wins!

Includes a robust solo mode with multiple AI opponents.
