About the game
Stroganov: Big Box is the most complete edition of the classic Russian exploration game. It brings together the base game Stroganov Deluxe and the Turukhan expansion, all in one deluxe package. In 2024, players embark on a journey across the vast Siberian territories, hunting for precious furs to build wealth and reputation. The board unfolds gradually as players move from spring to autumn, and each movement decision can open new routes or block rivals. Action Points and Worker Placement mechanics let you choose between moving pieces, claiming resources, or placing workers in strategic spots, while Map Addition adds new sections to the board, ensuring no two games are the same. Point-to-Point and Area Movement combine to create a smooth flow, where a piece’s position determines collection opportunities. For collectors, Set Collection offers a chance to gather different types of furs, earning points and tactical advantages. The game also features a Solo mode, letting you test strategies without opponents. Turn Order: Claim Action adds a competitive element for controlling the flow of play, while the Exploration theme keeps the adventure vibe alive every turn. The package includes high-quality components: a PVC board, leather-fur pieces, event cards, worker tokens, and an expandable map that can be placed in various positions. The Russian aesthetic, coupled with detailed graphics, creates an immersive visual experience reminiscent of old country adventure tales. If you enjoy games that demand careful planning, strategic decisions, and replayability, Stroganov: Big Box is a pick that will keep you hooked for hours.
