Colorful Burano from Board Game Circus, Copenhagen from Queen Games, Kensington from Piatnik and now also Porto from Mebo Games: In recent months, numerous board games have been released that are dedicated to the subject of house building. With this article I start to introduce these games and give an overview of these games.
The first game I would like to give an overview of is Porto by Mebo for two to four players, ages eight and up. The latest game in this series caught my eye at Messe Stuttgart because it has a great illustrated cover. The graphic designer for this game is Luis Levy Lima and the author is Orlando Sá.

Conclusion
Despite the simple rules, the game has a certain depth and you should think carefully about your moves. The board game runs very smoothly and there is no boredom. If there are waiting times, it is fun to explore the many sometimes amusing details of the game board. The game also has a solo version. Due to the easily comprehensible, but still efficient motivation, the game is well suited for both casual and frequent gamers.
The game material is of high quality. The only drawback is the playing cards, which stick together very strongly the first time they are played and are therefore difficult to mix.
