Valletta review

Valletta is a light Eurogame that's easy to learn and enjoyable for both casual and experienced gamers. The game's core mechanic involves building your own version of the city of Valletta using a clever deck-building system. You collect resources, hire workers, and build structures, all while trying to earn the favor of the Grand Master.

I appreciate the simplicity of Valletta. It's not overly complex, which makes it a great gateway game for those new to Eurogames. The game also has a good amount of replayability, thanks to the diverse card combinations and strategies available. The components are well-made and the artwork is attractive, adding to the overall appeal.

However, I do agree with some of the other reviewers who mentioned that the game lacks depth. After a few plays, you might find yourself using similar strategies and card combinations. It's a game that's best enjoyed in smaller doses, rather than marathon gaming sessions.

Overall, Valletta is a fun and satisfying experience. It's a great choice for a casual game night or an introduction to the world of Eurogames. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a light, engaging, and visually appealing game.
