Hi-dilly-ho, neighborinos!
Saint Petersburg (or Sankt Petersburg in German) is a well-made success story above all. The game is based on what has made Alhambra, San Juan or other similar games successful: each player plays on their own with few interactions and neat components.
The game has won many awards, all around the world, and has been very popular amongst players ever since.
In Saint Petersburg, you're developing the city at the beginning of the 18th century, with craftsmen, constructions and nobles to manage. A true German-style game, i.e. mechanics are really the heart of the game.
The game is split into several rounds, each of which is composed of virtually similar phases, the cards changing for each phase.
Basically, you place cards face up on the board, and either buy one, take one from your hand (a reservation), put one from your hand on your own board, and pay the cost or pass. So 4 possible actions. Easy.
Except that, cards are rather expensive and money quickly becomes scarce. Knowing that for all similar cards the cost decreases, and that the remaining cards in the next round will cost one less. So the game holds a certain "push your luck" flavor: you buy right away, you reserve or you wait until it becomes cheaper.
Some cards will bring money, depending on the phase, and others will bring victory points. It's all about making the right investment choices at the right time.
In the end, the rules are extremely clear, well explained and very fluid. You don't have to wait between turns, even at 5 players.

All our thanks go to Hans Im Gluck and to the game designer Bernd Brunnhofer, without forgetting of course to tip our hats to our developer Marcuda for the top-notch work he has done on this adaptation.
You'll probably enjoy the interesting mechanics, including playing by phases with different gains at the end of each one. The whole feel is very strategic, and the game will especially please analytical players.
It works like a card game, for lovers of management and calculation games.
And now, what else can we ding dong diddly do for you?
SAINT PETERSBURG: Klasika modernih društvenih igara od 2004. godine
Bok-dilly-ho, susjede!
Sankt Peterburg (ili Sankt Peterburg na njemačkom jeziku) prije svega je dobro napravljena priča o uspjehu.
Igra se temelji na onome što je Alhambru, San Juan ili druge slične igre učinilo uspješnim: svaki igrač igra samostalno s nekoliko interakcija i urednih komponenata.
Igra je osvojila mnoge nagrade širom svijeta i od tada je vrlo popularna među igračima.
U Sankt Peterburgu grad razvijate početkom 18. stoljeća s obrtnicima, građevinama i plemićima kojima treba upravljati.
Prava igra u njemačkom stilu, odn
mehanika je doista srce igre.
Igra je podijeljena u nekoliko rundi, od kojih se svaka sastoji od gotovo sličnih faza, a karte se mijenjaju za svaku fazu.
Uglavnom, karte postavljate licem okrenutim prema gore na ploču, ili kupite jednu, uzmete jednu iz ruke (rezervacija), stavite jednu iz svoje ruke na vlastitu ploču i platite trošak ili propusnicu.
Dakle 4 moguće akcije.
Lako.
Osim toga, kartice su prilično skupe, a novca brzo postaje malo.
Znajući da se za sve slične karte trošak smanjuje i da će preostale karte u sljedećem krugu koštati jednu manje.
Dakle, igra ima određeni okus "gurajte svoju sreću": kupujete odmah, rezervirate ili čekate dok ne pojeftini.
Neke će karte donijeti novac, ovisno o fazi, a druge će donijeti pobjedničke bodove.
Sve je u tome da u pravo vrijeme napravite pravi izbor za ulaganje.
Na kraju, pravila su izuzetno jasna, dobro objašnjena i vrlo fluidna.
Ne morate čekati između okreta, čak i kod 5 igrača.

Svu našu zahvalnost upućujemo Hansu Im Glucku i dizajneru igara Berndu Brunnhoferu, ne zaboravljajući naravno da našim programeru Marcudi naklonimo glavu za vrhunski rad na ovoj adaptaciji.
Vjerojatno ćete uživati u zanimljivoj mehanici, uključujući igranje po fazama s različitim dobicima na kraju svake od njih.
Cijeli je osjećaj vrlo strateški, a igra će posebno ugoditi analitičkim igračima.
Djeluje poput igranja karata za ljubitelje igara za upravljanje i računanje.
