It is always like a small keynote to release such a tool of fun and entertainment.
The middle of the 17th century was a period of great changes; with the arrival of the scientific method came what we now call the Scientific Revolution. Many great scientists, with their theories and ideas, changed and shaped our perception of the universe: Galileo Galilei, Copernicus, Kepler, Bacon and, above all, Sir Isaac Newton.
In Newton, the players take the role of a young scientist who wants to become one of the great geniuses of this era. To reach their ultimate goal, they travel around Europe, visit universities and cities, study to discover new theories, build new tools and work to earn money.
The game is played over six rounds. Each round, every player plays five cards from their hand, and each played card allows the player to perform one of the many actions of the game. An action can have a variety of effects, which depend on the symbols on the board. At the end of the round, a player can take back all the cards except for one. One card has to remain on the board, which means that you give up one possibility of doing that action, but also that that very action will be carried out with greater strength. Fortunately, you can acquire new cards with additional powers to perform more actions.
After six rounds, you calculate your final score, and the player with the most VP wins.
That's it. No updates, no additional stuff to connect: you can play it right now on #BGA by clicking the link below:

NEWTON: Kad je jabuka obavila posao...
Puštanje takvog alata zabave i razonode uvijek je poput male uvodne riječi.
Sredina 17. stoljeća je razdoblje velikih promjena; dolaskom znanstvene metode došlo je do onoga što danas nazivamo znanstvenom revolucijom. Mnogi su veliki znanstvenici svojim teorijama i idejama promijenili i oblikovali našu percepciju svemira: Galileo Galilei, Kopernik, Kepler, Bacon i iznad svih Sir Isaac Newton.
U Newtonu igrači preuzimaju ulogu mladog znanstvenika koji želi postati jedan od velikih genija ovog doba. Kako bi postigli svoj krajnji cilj, putuju po Europi, posjećuju sveučilišta i gradove, uče kako bi otkrili nove teorije, izrađuju nove alate i rade kako bi zaradili novac.
Igra se u šest rundi. U svakoj rundi svaki igrač igra pet karata iz svoje ruke, a svaka odigrana karta omogućuje igraču da izvede jednu od mnogih radnji u igri. Radnja može imati različite učinke, koji ovise o simbolima na ploči. Na kraju runde, igrač može uzeti natrag sve karte osim jedne. Jedna karta mora ostati na ploči, što znači da se odričete jedne mogućnosti da učinite tu akciju, ali i da će ta akcija biti izvedena s većom snagom. Srećom, možete nabaviti nove kartice s dodatnim moćima za izvođenje više radnji.
Nakon šest rundi izračunavate svoj konačni rezultat, a pobjeđuje igrač s najviše VP.
To je to. Nema ažuriranja, nema dodatnih stvari za povezivanje: možete je igrati upravo sada na #BGA klikom na vezu ispod:

Možete je igrati i sami u SOLO modu!
