Rockwell review

Rockwell is a unique and engaging game that I found to be quite enjoyable. The premise is interesting: you take on the role of a drilling company vying for the most valuable resources from the Earth's core. The game features a mix of auction, majority, and worker placement mechanics, making it a complex and strategic experience.

I particularly appreciated the semi-cooperative aspect of the game, as working together with your opponents is often necessary to achieve success. The game board itself is also quite innovative, adding to the overall immersive experience. While the rules can be a bit complex to grasp at first, I found the game to be very rewarding once I understood the intricacies.

I would highly recommend Rockwell to anyone who enjoys strategic games with a unique theme. The game is best played with three or more players, as the auction mechanic is less compelling with fewer players. However, if you're looking for a challenging and stimulating game that will keep you engaged from start to finish, Rockwell is definitely worth a try.
