Inspired by the game of Go, it pits 2 to 4 players against each other in controlling resources and plantations within a shared space. In turn, each player places a vegetation tile extending from one of the fountains and collects gems, of varying rarity, scattered across the terrain. They can then use these resources to select a promising vegetation tile, plant trees, or unlock Masteries. Every choice made, every action taken can significantly influence the final victory point count.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal interaction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ishtar is a game that captivates with both its accessibility and its profound subtlety. Every action played remains in place until the end of the game, even if it later turns against its creator. Each tile placed modifies the game board and immediately transforms the strategy of subsequent players, who are constantly forced to adapt to the gardens' developments. Will you save your gems to plant many trees or focus your strategy on controlling the fountains? Between placements and blockages, Ishtar offers total and immediate interaction between players, with games that are only decided once the last tile is placed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Multiple strategies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Addictive and with its careful edition, Ishtar encourages players to refine their playing style over the games. The game board, composed differently at the beginning of each game, guarantees optimal replayability. As for the strategies, they are so different that one quickly wants to try them all! Will you choose to favor flowerbeds, fountain control, gem collection, or tree planting? Each method can lead you to very different results, and Masteries will allow you to redefine how your final score is calculated!
