Hi-dilly-ho, neighborinos!
Saint Petersburg (or Sankt Petersburg in German) is a well-made success story above all. The game is based on what has made Alhambra, San Juan or other similar games successful: each player plays on their own with few interactions and neat components.
The game has won many awards, all around the world, and has been very popular amongst players ever since.
In Saint Petersburg, you're developing the city at the beginning of the 18th century, with craftsmen, constructions and nobles to manage. A true German-style game, i.e. mechanics are really the heart of the game.
The game is split into several rounds, each of which is composed of virtually similar phases, the cards changing for each phase.
Basically, you place cards face up on the board, and either buy one, take one from your hand (a reservation), put one from your hand on your own board, and pay the cost or pass. So 4 possible actions. Easy.
Except that, cards are rather expensive and money quickly becomes scarce. Knowing that for all similar cards the cost decreases, and that the remaining cards in the next round will cost one less. So the game holds a certain "push your luck" flavor: you buy right away, you reserve or you wait until it becomes cheaper.
Some cards will bring money, depending on the phase, and others will bring victory points. It's all about making the right investment choices at the right time.
In the end, the rules are extremely clear, well explained and very fluid. You don't have to wait between turns, even at 5 players.

All our thanks go to Hans Im Gluck and to the game designer Bernd Brunnhofer, without forgetting of course to tip our hats to our developer Marcuda for the top-notch work he has done on this adaptation.
You'll probably enjoy the interesting mechanics, including playing by phases with different gains at the end of each one. The whole feel is very strategic, and the game will especially please analytical players.
It works like a card game, for lovers of management and calculation games.
And now, what else can we ding dong diddly do for you?
SAINT PETERSBURG: Klasika sodobnih družabnih iger od leta 2004
Zdravo-dilly-ho, sosedje!
Sankt Peterburg (ali Sankt Peterburg v nemščini) je predvsem dobro narejena zgodba o uspehu.
Igra temelji na uspehu Alhambre, San Juana ali drugih podobnih iger: vsak igralec igra sam z malo interakcijami in ličnimi komponentami.
Igra je prejela številne nagrade po vsem svetu in je bila od takrat zelo priljubljena med igralci.
V Sankt Peterburgu mesto razvijate na začetku 18. stoletja z obrtniki, zgradbami in plemiči.
Resnična igra v nemškem slogu, tj
mehanika je resnično srce igre.
Igra je razdeljena na več krogov, od katerih je vsak sestavljen iz skoraj podobnih faz, pri čemer se karte spreminjajo za vsako fazo.
V bistvu na ploščo položite karte obrnjene navzgor in jih bodisi kupite, vzamete eno iz svoje roke (rezervacija), daste eno iz svoje roke na svojo desko in plačate stroške ali podajo.
Torej 4 možna dejanja.
Enostavno
Razen tega so kartice precej drage in denar hitro postane redek.
Vedoč, da se za vse podobne karte stroški zmanjšajo in da bodo preostale karte v naslednjem krogu stale eno manj.
Igra ima torej nek okus "potisni svojo srečo": takoj kupite, rezervirate ali počakate, da postane cenejša.
Nekatere karte bodo prinesle denar, odvisno od faze, druge pa bodo prinesle zmagovalne točke.
Vse je v tem, da se pravočasno odločite za naložbe.
Na koncu so pravila izredno jasna, dobro razložena in zelo tekoča.
Ni vam treba čakati med zavoji, tudi pri 5 igralcih.

Vsa zahvala gre Hansu Im Glucku in oblikovalcu iger Berndu Brunnhoferju, ne da bi pri tem pozabili, da našemu razvijalcu Marcudi nasmehnemo za vrhunsko delo na tej adaptaciji.
Verjetno boste uživali v zanimivi mehaniki, vključno z igranjem po fazah z različnimi dobitki na koncu vsake.
Celoten občutek je zelo strateški, igra pa bo še posebej ugajala analitičnim igralcem.
Deluje kot igra s kartami za ljubitelje iger za upravljanje in računanje.
