Episode 92 :: Coimbra Review

Brawling Brothers Boardgaming Podcast

Recorded in War Room Studios - Albuquerque, NM : 12/18/18

This episode is brought to you by Power to the Meeple. One of our most anticipated deep dives of the year is our Coimbra Review from Eggertspiele. Coimbra was designed by Flaminia Brasini (Lorenzo il Magnifico) and Virginio Gigli (Grand Austria Hotel) and launched in limited quantities at Origins Game Fair 2018. In Coimbra, it's the 16th century and Portugal is thriving under its leading role during the Age of Discovery. Nestled in the heart of Portugal, the city of Coimbra serves as a cultural center of the country. As the head of one of Coimbra's oldest houses, you seek to earn prestige by deepening relationships with nearby monasteries or funding expeditions of the era. To reach this goal, you must vie for the favors of the city's most influential citizens, even if you must offer a bit of coin or some protective detail. Tune in to our much anticipated Coimbra Review to find out what Josh, Brandon, and special guest Noel think about this beautiful Euro!
