Review Village
8.5Very good
Descendance is an excellent German worker placement game, characterized by an original mechanic: the death of your meeples. Despite its fluidity and speed, the game offers a multitude of strategies. You will have to face difficult choices, finding the right timing to execute your strategy and fill the village register before the others. The re-release of the game integrates all the expansions with a new modern design, eliminating any excuse not to play it. It is an essential classic.
