"War is better for two"

If you are looking to spend quality time with your life partner, children, niece, colleague or friend, a board game for two is always an excellent choice to spend time, together, of quality.

Because yes, board games have the surprising capacity to strengthen relationships, while putting it to the test, while putting us on the test.And this by immersing us, us and our partner, in a tense showdown to win the victory. Ce qui est clairement le cas ici dans It’s a Wonderful Kingdom.

Apart from this micro-competitive aspect, playing games together strengthens communication skills and creates good memories.It is also an idea of potential ritual: launching a game one evening a week, per day, every noon ... and playing remains a much more stimulating activity than to collapse on a sofa and watch a screen.

While many board games require several people to play it, sometimes even groups of 4, 5, 8, there are many that are only planned for two.Because let's be honest, when it is indicated from 2 to 4, or from 2 to 5, or from 2 to 6, or ... you understood, the 2 version is a kind of wisdom.With special rules that often introduce a sort of moldy AI, a "neutral player" that must be managed in addition.And these games only offer real intense and exciting playful experiences.

It’s a Wonderful Kingdom est donc la version pour 2 (ou en solo).Redesigned, reworked, this adaptation is not just cosmetic or commercial.

"In war as in war.»»

Dans It’s a Wonderful Kingdom vous vous retrouvez à la tête d’un duché et devrez lutter pour vous emparer du trône du royaume.

We find ourselves here facing a resource management game.Which implies strategic choices in order to be able to quickly develop your kingdom by reporting as many victory points as possible.Mechanics is very close to its predecessor.

The great novelty lies mainly in the draft system which is here replaced by a brand new mechanics of "split and trap".Understand, "divide and trapple".A mechanics that adds a large part of bluff - it incorporates much more interaction and tension in the game than the original game.

"The one who knows how to overcome does not undertake war.»»

The game takes place in 4 rounds during which you receive 7 cards each time + 1 calamity card.Each of the sleeves is available in 3 phases of play:

At the start of each round, two cards are already arranged on both sides of the game board.At the rate of 16 successive laps, alternating a tour in which you offer 2 cards to your opponent and a tour in which you recover the cards of it, you will constitute your hand.

You decide which cards you keep under construction and which you recycle to benefit from its market value (resources).

In 4 successive production steps you collect the resources corresponding to the cards already built in your “Duchy” development zone.

"If you want peace, prepare the war.»»

Calamit cards are special cards.They cannot be recycled and are automatically added to your duchy.They will make you lose victory points during the final count.

At the start of each round you and your opponent go to collect a calamity card.In turn during the choice phase, 2 spy tokens in your possession and renewable at each round, will allow you to have your visible or hidden face cards.The goal is of course to get rid of your calamity cards and refourguer them to your game partner.To, finally, make him lose a maximum of victory points.

Tout va très vite dans It’s a Wonderful Kingdom ! Les 4 manches passent très vite et il va falloir faire preuve d’efficacité et de tactique pour rapidement étendre votre suprématie sur l’ensemble du royaume tout en déjouant les pièges de votre adversaire.

Each part is played with one of the 3 modules offered with each time interactivity and a higher or lower play difficulty:

Note that a solo mode is also offered.

For the assets tested all three, the modules are very well thought out and very well balanced.These three ways to play each lead a slightly different game mode.

« Faites l’amour, pas la guerre»»

Our preference is on the advisers module.It makes it possible, in our opinion, to better regulate the difficulties linked to the calamity cards.And perhaps also, to be less in direct contact with, against his opponent.A mode recommended for household peace ... if you play with your partner.

The choice of cards from our hand, which we decide to make available to our opponent, is a real decisive headache.How to make sure to recover the coveted cards?While baiting it on other choices?While avoiding the negative cards that he will try to force us to take?Argh.

Il ne faut pas s’y tromper, It’s a Wonderful Kingdom n’est pas un gentil jeu coopératif ! Pour espérer sortir victorieux, il va falloir faire chauffer son cerveau, mais pas seulement.Prepare to get involved in bloody conflicts.While surpassing your opponent in cunning.If you are not ready to do battle, stay with It’s a Wonderful World.Because in this adaptation only for two, you will necessarily leave feathers!

It’s a Wonderful Kingdom est un jeu vif, rapide, à forte interactivité.He requests strategic, anticipation and rapid questioning.The game is extremely tense or even frustrating ... but it's good !!!The perfect cocktail for wanting to replay to improve your tactic.Or simply buy back his honor.By choosing the different modules and the developed strategies this game has a strong replayability.

From an illustration and material point of view, we remain in the same very successful aesthetics of It’s a Wonderful World.The anatomy of the cards is very clear and readable and the tokens and resources are pleasant and easy to handle.

The rules are clearly detailed for rapid grip of different modules.The immersion in the theme is finally quite secondary in the face of a strong play mechanics.

It’s a Wonderful Kingdom, verdict

A great success for this highly anticipated game!It has all the qualities of its predecessor while having its own assets which creates the novelty.

A very good game for two ....Not to put in all hands nevertheless because the arduous battle does not make a neighborhood!We love it!Even if after having played there we only talk to each other any more the intermediary of our lawyers.

A two -live, tense, playful and teasing game.We love.

Grand!
