Valletta Board Game By Z-Man Games | City Building Strategy Game | 2-4 Players
The year is 1566. The Order of Malta has placed the first stone of what will become a powerful city in the Mediterranean. It is up to you to undertake the building projects that will complete the city and make Valletta the future capital of Malta. Procure raw materials from craftsmen and hire builders, masons, and woodworkers to construct the mighty bastions and beautiful baroque buildings of the capital. As your projects progress, enlist the aid of historical figures such as Emperor Charles V or Jean Parisot de Valette himself to score even more points and become a master builder. Hire the help you need, manage your resources, and leave your mark on the city!
Craftsmen and merchants aren’t the only people you’ll meet as your projects progress. Jean Parisot de Valette, the man who commissioned the construction of Valletta, also patrols the streets as building inspector. If he stops at one of your sites, you can fire workers by discarding them from your hand or hire new ones by drawing cards from the supply. The game reaches its final phases when de Valette reaches the end of his patrol, so make sure to wrap up your projects quickly! Ingratiate yourself with the elite and call upon additional historical figures to help you score points. Architect Francesco Laparelli can convert excess goods to points, while Emperor Charles V scores you one point for each blue building you’ve constructed. Wait for the perfect time to play these cards, maximize your points, and become the greatest builder Valletta has ever seen!
