Wadi

Reviews:

- Ben Baldanza in: Counter Magazine number 40, February 2008. Quote: "Wadi is an interesting and effective tactical game (..)."

- Online: Dave Simpson at Boardgamegeek. Quote: (..) play can get quite cut-throat relatively quickly.

Reactions:

It is fast (barely lasting 20 minutes), and you get much more game out of it than you'd expect at first.

A nice balance between dense placement (diagonally) and looser placement (like a knights move), which affects the amount of water pumped. The same is true of the balance between how much you carve out your own little area, compared to how much you intermingle. You want some cooperative pumping but not too much. Simple rules lead to some tricky decisions.

I recommend the game to anyone who has some tactical potential.

Tried it a few times and I must say it's marvelous and challenging. Can recommend it. I checked out the author's website emmagames.nl and found some new scenarios as promised. Great game overall. Tactics may be a little tough the first time.

Dear Wadi, I wasn't sure whether what kind of game you'd be, but I was pleasantly surprised by your simple elegance and quick teachability. I look forward to picking you up a few more times and getting to know you better. I can't imagine we'll ever have any thing lasting, but I am sure you'll be good for a quickie now and then. Thanks for the fun and have a great summer!
