Next month will see the release of Aldabas: Doors of Cartagena from Grand Gamers Guild. The light tableau building game will task players with filling their neighborhood with interesting neighbors and their doorknockers. Aldabas: Doors of Cartagena is for one to four players, ages 13+, plays in around 30 to 45 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $24.99 when it arrives September 7th.
About the game:
In Cartagena, Colombia, the doors speak. Not with words, but with the grandiose knockers that adorn them. In Spanish colonial times, the knockers announced your job and your social status with the design and detail. Lions, lizards, sea creatures, and hands proclaimed the homes’ occupants as soldiers, nobles, fishermen, and clergy.
Aldabas is a puzzley tableau-builder in which you you seek to fill your neighborhood with the most influential citizens. On each turn, players will take actions to build their neighborhood or increase their wealth. Clever placement will unlock bonuses, but only if you build in the right way.
Those who keep the best company (and the fullest coffers) will surely be held in highest regard.
