Description
In Buru, you're a noble in the 14th century Majapahit empire, seeking to expand the kingdom's influence through commerce and diplomacy. You've arrived on the remote island of Buru, where you'll compete with fellow nobles to win over the locals and gain the favor of the King. Over 60 to 75 minutes, you'll deploy explorers to different regions of the island, gathering resources, recruiting islanders, and paying tribute to the spirits. Your goal is to earn the islanders' esteem, which can be done in various ways, such as paying tribute, pleasing elders, or fulfilling the King's decrees. With easy-to-learn rules and engaging gameplay, Buru is a fun and challenging experience for 1 to 4 players. As you navigate the island and make strategic decisions, you'll be immersed in a medieval world of economic and exploration challenges, all in the hopes of being declared the new governor of Buru.
