In episode 44, we review Ostia by uchibacoya, Crafty Games, and Skellig Games. But, first! We chat about what is bringing us joy: The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth - Allies, Panda Spin, Kutna Hora: The City of Silver, and Bananagrams.

Ostia is a game for 1-4 players that takes place in 103 A.D. and is centered around the Ostia Portus in Rome. Each player’s board represents the Portus, and that is where they manage their fleet: picking up and placing their ships across each segment like a mancala board in order to build up their resources and take actions like building ships and buildings, supplying food to citizens and nobles, and trading. As players branch out across the Mediterranean, it’s a race to secure end game scoring through destination tiles and bonus reward icons. Along the way, players are encouraged to establish bases beyond Ostia to strengthen their trading routes and upgrade their fleet actions. The homies are obsessed and love how all of the mechanics come together in this game.
