Elasund: The First City of Catan – a first blush
by Karrde on Apr.13, 2006, under Games
So, Elasund came in yesterday and Lisa Staci and I sat down to give it a go.
As a learning game for all of us it was a little rocky. We started off on a Wall race, but Lisa and Staci seemed to back off after a bit. I eventually built all nine of my walls.
There were quite a few hiccups on turn phase order, but we eventually got it worked out. Building happened quite well, and there was a few bumps of smaller buildings. Lisa started off the Church earlier than I expected.
Staci tried to start with the big buildings quick. After a bit I managed to break out a building right along the water, not only gaining the 2 VP for the building, but moving me up 3 along the trade track and providing 2 more VP there.
I finished the game with my one and only Church, completing 10 VP. Staci and Lisa ended up at 5 VP each.
