Valencia

Valencia arrives as the extensive rework of Strasbourg, keeping everything that worked well while adding a fresh layer. The modular board lets you assemble the city in different configurations each game, ensuring endless replayability. A dedicated two‑player variant was created, so couples or duos can enjoy the experience without waiting for a larger group. The artwork, by The Mico, gives a vibrant, contemporary look that matches the Mediterranean vibe of the Spanish city. The game includes ten new task cards, offering varied objectives and more strategic options throughout the rounds. The turn structure has been updated, making the flow smoother and easier to follow. Five brand‑new buildings – fountains that grant points and special effects – have been added, expanding construction choices. Core mechanics are tile placement, pattern building, and area control, all spiced with "once around" auctions where each player gets a single bidding chance. The economic side shows up in bid decisions and resource management for erecting buildings. With a light weight (2.5/5) and a playtime of 60‑90 minutes, Valencia suits those who want strategic depth without overwhelming complexity. In short, it blends city building, dynamic auctions, and a ever‑changing board, all wrapped in high‑quality components and eye‑catching art.
