Lost Bazaar

Nice abstract that features placement tactics and a common deck. I tried it out and it works remarkably well. The basic system is very easy but provides room for a lot of variations and different tactics. I dont know if there is a table top version of it, but i would sure buy. Gamewise definitely worth trying out if you are into abstract, tactical games. Horrible interface and graphics though. I would advice to tune it a bit. https://store.steampowered.com/app/977830/Lost_Bazaar/# - Though you can turn off the board rotation, it is confusing EVERY turn when its on. - Also there is no real point in having cards upside down in play, as the color tells you who's card it is, it only makes it more confusing. - The indication that something is on a special tile (profit, protective etc.) is confusing as well. The bottom bar is a players color, unless it is on a special tile, than it has that color. And than the board rotates. Ultra confusining. Making topbar (which will ALWAYS be top regardless of a players turn) player color and bottom bar indicate the underlying tile would make things a lot clearer. - The material is clear in the preview pane, but once on the board, it is totally un…

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] "Lost Bazaar" is a mediocre "chess with cards" multiplayer boardgame that was never fully made, abandoned, and never even made it to mobile app stores/web publication (yet somehow got published on Steam, which I'm pretty sure was never intended to be a launcher for browser games). What do you do in the game? The merchant theme is kind of irrelevant, if anyone played this, they would be putting down cards that move around a "chess" board and try to dominate as many tiles as possible. The developers abandoned this 5 years and 4 months ago. It will never be completed. This unfinished game is just polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuinely, completely made games. For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it might as well be a web page. It's functionally no different from a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browse…

Игра 'Lost Bazaar' — это настоящее погружение в мир восточной мистики и загадок. Атмосфера игры захватывает с первых минут: тусклое освещение, пыльные прилавки, наполненные диковинными товарами, и таинственные силуэты торговцев создают неповторимое ощущение присутствия. Сюжет развивается неторопливо, но каждый найденный артефакт, каждая расшифрованная надпись приближают игрока к разгадке древней тайны. Механики поиска предметов и решения головоломок реализованы на высоком уровне, заставляя мозг работать, но не вызывая фрустрации. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет происходящее, добавляя глубины и погружения. Это игра, которая вознаграждает внимательного игрока и оставляет после себя приятное послевкусие.

Fun take on the tile/tactical card/board game genre. The systems are thought out and intuitive. A game to play with friends, match with someone and have a battle of wits where you're constantly trying to outsmart each other. Not having drawing a card at the start of the round is probably a mistake since, while there is a reason to draw later on in the turn, it's a niche situation, so the default should probably be changed. That's my biggest gripe with the game.
