Draft aristocrats, workers, and buildings to develop Saint Petersburg in this classic Euro of economic engine building.
Vibe's take
economic engine cascade, card-drafting timing, aristocrat investment, classic Euro elegance
Who it's for
Euro fans who appreciate classic card-drafting engine builders with elegant scoring cascades.
Not for you if…
You prefer modern Euro mechanisms or want more player interaction beyond card drafting.
Buy aristocrats, workers, and buildings to develop 18th-century Saint Petersburg in this classic card-drafting Euro. Each round cycles through different card types, and the economic engine you build determines whether you can afford the increasingly expensive aristocrats who score the most points. The second edition adds a market expansion and new cards that refresh the original's elegant scoring cascade. A cornerstone Euro that rewards efficient tableau building.
