Description
Strasbourg in the 15th century - the political skills of the city are heavily influenced by the craftsmen guilds .
In this time, players take on the lead of ascending families of the city. It is your goal to place your family members in the different guilds. Only the clever usage of influence points makes it possible to be accommodated as apprentice, assistant or even master craftsman - provided you can pay the admission fee. But don't underestimate the power of the church or the nobility.
Strasbourg is a easy to learn strategy game with inventive mechanisms, that provide the player with lots of room for decisions. But only those that also keep an eye on the plans of the other players will earn the highest fame in the end.

Quotes (from this video)
- And all in all, I just thought this game felt pretty pretty bland and pretty soulless.
- This one, I think, has been kind of being reviewed at slightly lower level, so there might be something to that. But I can only go on what was presented to me with this Valencia edition. And there is no doubt about it, this is not staying around in my collection.
- The way that the points are drip-fed to you throughout the game is just too incremental and too small and kind of slight.
- I would have really have loved to have seen that kind of war of attrition shine through a bit more when you really do have to pace yourself with the bids you have.
- You know, I've played a ton of auction games, a ton of bidding games. And while on paper, I really like that push-your-luck bidding mechanism, this game though didn't utilize it to its um to its optimum standard, I think.
