Brügge

In Brügge, players assume the role of merchants who must maintain their relationships with those in power in the city while competing against one another for influence, power and status. Dramatic events cast their shadows over the city, with players needing to worry about threats to their prosperity from more than just their opponents. The game includes 165 cards, with each card having one of five colors. On a turn, a player chooses one of his cards and performs an action, with seven different actions being available. In principle, every action can be used with every card – but the color of the card determines in which areas the actions can be used or the strength of the chosen action, e.g., blue cards provide additional workers (one of the resources). All of the action is geared toward the gathering of prestige, with the most prestigious merchant winning in the end.
