Replay value

Kensington offers a high level of variability with its gameboard and expansions, allowing for different experiences each time it is played. The strategic depth and player interaction add to its replay value, while the scalability ensures a consistent experience regardless of the number of players. Although it may take some time to learn, the game offers a rewarding and engaging experience overall.

Luck profile

Kensington has a moderate level of luck involved in the game. Random elements such as dice rolls and card draws have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. However, players have substantial ability to mitigate the effects of randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game outcome is primarily determined by player strategy and decisions, with luck playing a minor role.

Overview

London, 19th Century: building sites in Kensington district are highly coveted. Each architect wants to build the most impressive, most solid and highest structure. But the competition is fierce. Who will earn the most points with his building and who will convince investors of his luxury mansion? Players are architects building a Georgian palace taking into account the building regulations. The building parts were drawn from the hidden deck in the center of the player board or from a warehouse, either your own or from your opponents. A game ends when the seventh roof tile with a bird is drawn. Then each architect is allowed to build the tiles left in his warehouse. To win the game, players should consider the amount of roofed windows and doors as well as different heights. Cats will also earn points for the final tallying. Well done and congratulations to the best architect! —description from the publisher (translated)
