  Thurn & Taxis

Thurn & Taxis

 

In 1490, Kaiser Maximilian I awarded Franz von Taxis the contract to deliver mail between the Kaiser’s residences in Innsbruck and Brussels.He did such a good job, that postal services in the country continue to be connected with the name Thurn and Taxis. With the introduction of postal carriages in the middle of the 17th century, members of the family were raised to Count status and given the hereditary title of Postmaster General. The game begins at this point in history.Can you emulate the achievements of this family and build a successful postal network? Do you have the talent to connect the right cities to create an effective network and not lose sight of the need to acquire new carriages when they are needed? Plan your moves carefully and watch your opponents’ moves carefully, so you are prepared to respond to them.The game takes you back in time and gives you challenges that will bring you back to the game over and over.

Reviewer: Rob from Conrwall   4 Stars
This is a land area game based on postboxes - yeah very strange, the good thing is it plays real well. Good points: plays in 1 hour, nice production and mechanics Bad points: rules need a bit of work and clarification but you can work out most of the issues yourself
