And Now Its Time For Another Diced

our review with TOm Vassal man Smartphones are everywhere these days folks I’m TOm Vassal and today we’re taking a look at smart phone INc. This is a euro-style game where you will be marketing buying and selling smart phones. I am thrilled about this theme. There’s a lot of buying and trading and selling games and in fact someone we were done with this game said it didn’t have to be about smart phones. It could have been about anything sure but does everything have to be about 17th century selling spices.

This Is A The Same Thing

but selling phones and I like that idea. I think the artworks cool and this game just has a really cool presentation. It was a game that really wasn’t on my radar. I had never heard of Cosmic COsmo Drone games before but. Once I saw the game light out.

I Was Very Intrigued By It

and then I played it. It is a economic game, a buying and selling game, but also can be kind of a cutthroat vicious game. I guess just like actual smartphone companies are with each other here’s our plays. The goal. This game is to get the most points and basically make the most money.

Each Player Is Going To Start With

a certain number depending on what color you pick it. You can see it goes all the way up to 500 points that you’ll be keeping track of on this scoreboard. Each player is going to get a tray and in that tray you’re gonna have some different gob cubes and things you’re also going to get two boards. Each player gets the exact same two boards. However, you have your own little small double.

Board That Matches Your Company So This Is

the one for the yellow player. The game is going to take place over five turns. Each turn has eight phases. In phase one, each player will be behind a shield. They’re going to take these two boards and they’re going to manipulate them covering up one board with the other at least one square.

Although You Can Cover Up The Four

squares that’s going to pick the actions that you are going to do in the following turn, so maybe I want to do this and doesn’t seem like a very useful thing. Maybe this would be better so let’s say maybe for example, this is what I’m gonna do. You can also use your double board and put it on top and cover up and add more icons to what you have so that’s the first phase The second phase. Is everyone’s going to adjust their prices so as you look at your boards. Sometimes your price is going to go up one and sometimes it’s going to go down one.

So Everyones Going To Adjust Their

price and the board over here. It’s base price of five, but it might go higher all the way up to eight and it might go all the way down to 2. Then players are going to produce goods for each black square that a player has they’ll produce a good and then for each thing that they are covering. You’ll produce one so if I cover the boards like this I’m going to produce one two, three, four, five, six and so when that happens I’ll take this and I’ll move six cubes in here to show that this turn I have produced six cellphones or six million cellphones that I’m not. sure how many it is then players are going to take new tiles over here Players are going to get one of these tiles as long as you can see this in front of a player.

Theyll Get To Do These And A

turn order as for many of these things turn orders going to start with the person who has the lowest price phone and go up so the players will get new ones of these, which you can use to put on your boards or you can flip them over each turn and it will just basically give you another good when you’re getting a good set come around and so you’re gonna be able to pick something that will help you and give you more symbols of what you want. If you don’t put one of these on your board. You simply get one of these tokens. Which just means you’re gonna get an extra Goods container each turn then technology Players are going to count the number of Technology symbols that are available on their thing and they’re gonna take these little staircase tokens equal to the number that they’ve gotten and they’re going to put them on the bottom of the board. In these different technology areas.

Each Technology Has A Certain Cost Of The

technology. So say. For example, I want better battery life here so as I look at this better battery life. I’m going to. I need to put four of these in it to research it so if I put three here are those leave them maybe next turn I have two more.

• smartphone
• smartphones
• phones
• cellphones
• phone

So Ill Put One Over On

another technology and I’ll put one here to finish this one once I finish it market so that I know that it’s. My technology and the first person to finish it gets the patent. This is gonna be worth points at the end of the game. It also makes it cheaper for everybody else who is researching it. When you research a technology.

Its Gonna Allow You To Sell Phones To

people who want it, but it’s also going to give you a special ability. There are different technologies that are available you can even switch them from game to game like. For example, one side this technology when I put these extra tiles on my board. I can actually leave them hanging off the board, which gives me an opportunity to put more out or this one here. I can sell three of my goods cubes each term without putting them in a region while the other side says I can add an extra price mark into my thing and in later rounds it gives me an extra.

My Phones Are Going To Be Cost More

and be worth more. After players have done technology. The next spot here is going to be expansion and when you expand everyone’s going to start on the board in a certain spot so you can see green starts here in North, Africa. The yellow starts here in India and so if I want to go to another spot. I just follow these paths and I need two truck symbols and then I can build over here and you’re just going to be building and expanding and anywhere.

Youre At Youll Be Able To Sell Cell

phones speaking of that that’s the next thing and this is really the meat of the game. You’re going to sell cell phones. So remember earlier I produced a whole pile of cubes well now let’s say I’m in India and Emirates. I can sell those let’s say my price I put my price down to four. So I look at these two spots on the board where I can sell them.

This Person Will Buy A Phone For

up to six, so they’ll buy a phone. This person will buy a phone up for up to three. I can’t sell them because I said my price is four but I can sell phone to this person and to this person and then if you remember I got the extra battery life technology but no one here wants it but let’s say. I had also gotten two UK technology that I could sell phone to this person and to this person phones. I don’t sell aren’t going to get me anything and then players are going to get money equal to the number of cubes that they were able to sell times how much you saw them for so I sold mine for four one two three four five five times four I’m gonna get twenty points Also if you have the majority of cubes in a spot you’re going to get points equal to whatever number is shown up here so the more people that are in a region the more points majority is going to be worth.

Here Majority Is Going To Be Worth Two.

No matter which color has the most in it and when you get it to some of these second place will also get points for. Having a majority when this is finished, you’ll reset a bunch of things and go to the next round after five rounds whoever has the most points is going to get this money as most money is gonna get win the game. Don’t forget you’re gonna be adding these patents at the end of the game and then also if you’re playing with less than five players, then some of these spots you’re not going to be able to cell phones in retail strips will be placed on the board instead, and players will be able to put tokens in these you won’t be able to sell phones there, but you simply when you expand here, it will give you an immediate special ability and give you more points at the end of the game that’s how you play so obviously the really neat thing about this board is there. There are holes in the board to put things in and that’s really I just like that everyone likes that as they come across.

Although Oddly Enough The Round It

looks like these should have holes but they don’t. I would imagine that’s just a mistake that the printer made, but it’s not that big of a deal, but man it’s really neat these trays themselves are really cool I especially like how you can move these in now. When you store these trays you simply just take these and put them in and then you’re going to snap a lid on top now it’s pretty cheap plastic don’t get me wrong it’s not like this is great but when I turn it upside down and everything as long as I keep these here in this spot there’s not too much movement around everything is a translucent plastic which looks. cool on the board. Their edges are a little sharp, especially in the cubes and they’re not always easy to tell apart which ones which but it doesn’t really matter you’re just using them for different places.

The Boards Are Good Quality That

symbols are pretty easy to understand and honestly. There’s not a lot of special abilities and things that you need to understand. Each of the technologies has its own special thing, but players will figure it out pretty quickly what they do and there’s I mean the whole thing. This has a really cool look. Also.

I Should Mention That The Game The Shields

which they’re not very big shields, but first of all they have cool artwork. The shields are neat you only use them when you’re putting your boards together that’s it. Then you put your shield down but I think it’s hilarious that they included multiplication charts on them first of all. If you’re selling 17 cubes and you’re selling 17 cubes for seven you’ve won the game. You don’t need the count of your stuff you’re not going to see usually sell that many cubes.

I Think That Most Ive Seen

anyone sells so far. I was like twelve on a turn and I’m pretty sure I can multiply 12 by any of these numbers. But I thought that was amusing and I do think it’s neat that each color has its own specific start which like.
