    the object of the game is to draw 7cards, then use those cards to move the game pieces that are owned by both players in such a way as to place the king into your castle. both players move the pieces depending on the cards that you hold tug-of-war style. you can win by either getting the most points by having the most pieces on your side of the board after going through the deck twice or by placing the king in your castle.

    the jester and magician have special abilities that you can move other game pieces on the board as long as the jester or magician are on your side of the board, if the jester or magician are not on your side of the board you can use their cards to move them on your side of the board; other pieces can follow the jester, the magician can make pieces appear on the same space. the two guards have to be on either side of the king at all times protecting him, even if theirs many spaces between them and the king, the king can not be outside the guards protection.

    tub-of-war games tend to take set-up so you can make big moves in one turn, it will take several turns of making small moves and saving important cards so that you can make a big move. the game has a fair amount of strategy to it.

    I love this game! It’s compact so it’s easy to store or travel with. It’s one of the best two player games we’ve found, and we can play it over and over in the same sitting without it growing dull or repetitive. I love that the board is cloth and the pieces are wood. It’s pretty to look at, and the materials seem high quality to me. I also think this game is easy to understand without being simple. Love it!

    Great game for 1v1 play. Components are of a high quality and the it is hard to just play it one time in a sitting. A++ all around.

    The board and art is beautiful, even if the cloth board doesn’t sit completely flat. Every piece and card is beautiful. Theme and game design work really well here.

    It can feel a bit repetitive at times though, and I feel like it doesn’t work as well if the other player isn’t that into it or hasn’t thought up some strategy, but I suppose all tug of war games probably need that to make them work.

    I’m a huge fan of childrens books illustrators and I don’t know if a bunch of games use these artists from this field as much as they should. The art really stands out in this small box and makes a short game an absolute joy

    I recently purchased IELLO: Royal Visit, Strategy Board Game, and I have to say, I'm extremely disappointed with the game. The game is boring and confusing, which makes it a complete waste of money.

    Firstly, the game is very confusing to set up and play. The instructions are not clear, and the gameplay is very convoluted. It takes a long time to understand the rules and how to play the game, which makes it frustrating to get started.

    Moreover, the gameplay is very slow and boring. The game lacks excitement and thrill, and the strategy is very limited. There are not enough interesting decisions to make, and the game feels repetitive after a few rounds.

    Additionally, the components of the game are of poor quality. The game board is flimsy, and the cards are not durable enough to withstand frequent use. The artwork on the cards is also very unappealing and lacks creativity.

    Furthermore, the price of IELLO: Royal Visit, Strategy Board Game is too high for the poor quality and uninteresting gameplay. I feel like I wasted my money on a game that is not worth the price.

    Overall, I would not recommend IELLO: Royal Visit, Strategy Board Game to anyone. The confusing setup, slow and boring gameplay, poor quality components, unappealing artwork, high price, and lack of creativity make it a complete waste of money. If you're looking for a strategy board game, I would suggest looking for a more interesting and engaging option.

    4.0 out of 5 stars !Excelente juego¡
    Reviewed in Mexico on December 12, 2023
    Muy buen juego, casi asimétrico por aquello de los poderes del mago y el Arlequín, pero sí necesitas tener una estrategia clara, si te apresuras a gastar cartas es probable que no tengas para responder a los movimientos que hace tu oponente. Es un muy buen juego, la primera vez que lo jugué, fueron como 6 partidas seguidas.

    En cuanto a componentes se nota la calidad que siempre distingue a Iello, no me puedo quejar de nada, los meeples son geniales, el arte en las cartas es muy bueno.

    Reviewed in Italy on September 14, 2023
    The media could not be loaded.
     Poche figure, ciascuna con delle caratteristiche specifiche, lungo una scacchiera lineare. Versione rivisitata e sicuramente molto più tematizzata, intrigante e logica rispetto alla prima versione "Reperbahn" del solito maestro Knizia (dove avevamo prostitute e papponi lungo la famosa viuzza a luce rosse di Amburgo).
    Materiali stupendi, design fantastico, plancia tessile (che ogni tanto andrebbe apprettata e stirata per bene). Per muovere le figure si usano, indovinate un po', combinazioni di carte. A Knizia questa meccanica di avanzare giocando carte proprio non gli esce dalla testa. Chissà se si lanciavano dadi e si sceglieva la combinazione più efficace, lasciando i dadi rimanenti all'avversario?
    Ogni modo, un gioco intrigante dove ogni mossa deve essere ben studiata, usando appunto le carte e svariate combinazioni a tua favore, e le mosse speciali, e riuscire a muovere il re verso il tuo capo del percorso, o castello, per vincere.
    Il problema è che se non si osa un po' si rischia di spostare le pedine avanti e indietro all'infinito... e a lungo andare questo continuo spremere le meningi (e le carte) logora un po'....
    Esistono due giochi simili con plancia bidirezionale: Jekyll Vs Hyde e un altro a tema fantascienza, di cui non ricordo il nome.
