Pueblo, the 2002 board game from Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer is coming back for a new edition over on Gamefound. Mojito Studios are behind this new edition of the game which features new art by SillyJellie.

Pueblo // Mojito Studios

In Pueblo, you play as craftsmen who are looking to build a home for the Chieftain of your people. However, you want to make sure that everyone knows what you did so you'll be seeking to play your trademark stones in place. The Chieftain, being quite a grumpy fellow, is eager for you not to do that so you'll need to hide your work.

During a turn of Pueblo, players will be taking building blocks of their colour and some neutral-coloured ones and placing them onto the board. They then move the Chieftain around the outside track. If the Chieftain can see any coloured blocks, those payers gain points but in true golfing form, points are bad!

When the Chieftain lands in the corners of the track, he looks down from above on your work and you will similarly dole out points if he sees your coloured blocks. To that end, you want to be placing your own trademark coloured blocks to gain points but then shielding them from view with other players' blocks or neutral coloured ones. You gotta be sneaky when building it seems!

The player who gained the fewest points at the end of the game becomes the Master Builder and the winner! Additionally, the game also comes with pieces to make Pueblo more challenging including bidding mechanics and the option to add Sacred Sites which can't be built on.

Pueblo seems like a properly fun puzzle of a board game to have a crack at. I like these abstract-style board games and I would love to give this one a go. The original version seems to have slipped under my radar. Watch out for this one on Gamefound in the next few days.

Do you like the sound of Pueblo?
