CENTURY - A New World

The final instalment in the Century Trilogy is here, and it was well worth waiting for! Century: A New World sees you not only completing the tableau created by the box art, but also using the familiar mechanic to up or downgrade your resources, in order for you to meet what’s required to purchase the much desired victory point cards.

This game is similar in that sense to Century Spice Road, but the difference in this game is that worker placement has been added as well.

Throughout the game players decide where to place their meeples and when to rest and take them all back, or whether or not to bump other workers back to their opponent owners. New areas on the board are opened up as the game plays, increasing the options and levels of strategy. 

Not only do the cards purchased provide victory points, but also build small engines that help continued placements to become less costly and even beneficial in resource gathering. And some cards reward the buyer with unique set collection goals for additional end game scoring.

Century: A New World is the third and final installment of the Century series from designer Emerson Matsuuchi.

Century: A New World sends players to the Americas at the dawn of the 16th century. Braving the wilderness, players are forced to explore new lands, trade with local inhabitants, journal their findings, and hunt/gather to survive! The game integrates the compelling and incredibly fun resource trading mechanisms found in the Century series with a worker placement mechanism with a twist!

Century: A New World may be combined with Century: Spice Road or Century: Eastern Wonders or both for all new mixable games.
