Unboxing: Felinia

Recently, at the UK Games Expo I came across this game from Asmodee and Matagot. I knew nothing about it, but it has cats and it’s Matagot, so I had to have it because they produce truly gorgeous games.

So I have delved into the box and its contents and found out what’s inside and if it is any good.

Surprises galore inside!

This is from the publisher:

Felinia is the third part in the Gold Trilogy, after Valdora and The Golden City. In the first two parts, a city and a valley got explored; this time it is a whole country. Felinia is a trading, collecting, and exploring board game that is modular and includes both a beginner and an advanced game.

From the back of the box:

Gold! Spices! Felinia is a mysterious continent, full of exotic riches! It‘s up to you to establish profitable trading posts, but beware: the competition is stiff.
Alone or with a partner, hire a ship, fill its hulls full of refined merchandise, and set off to make yourself a fortune.

Felinia is extremely interactive. It mixes an original bidding system with clever movement rules. Felinia is fascinating and addictive, for players new to games as well as confirmed masters.
