What's brown and green and played all over? Hiding behind the earth tones. Alan Moon's New England is a very good strategy game. There's a lot of depth to the relatively short playing time. The rules are simple and very well laid out and the components are excellent. |
There is one thing that makes New England stand out from other "develop your territory to gain victory points"-games, and that is it's bidding mechanism. The way bidding is done, is both simple and effective - and it is excruciating to always have to assess how much you are willing to pay for the privilige of going first. The game flows well and provides a different feel than other games of this type - and the bidding mechanism makes it very easy to teach newcomers as well. |
