In tabletop games, most games can be considered as abstract games in the way they represent the simulation that they are trying to bring in the game. They do not have story that drives the decision process when doing the action.
Some can have a theme or setting pasted on the game so players will not just look at cubes, spreadsheets, colors or other generic components. This can help attract more players to try and eventually buy because they can relate more.
However, there are some games that can be considered as Thematic Games. Usually, the story, setting or theme come first in the design process and then the designer will try to find a matching game mechanism to help the game deliver those things.
That is the case with this next game, Maquis. The setting is based on the Resistance group, of the same name in France during World War II era.
So, what is this Maquis board game? How do we play the game? Are there any expansions for it?
Those are probably just a few questions that came to mind after hearing about the game. Well, in this article, I’m going to share with you my Maquis Review based on my experience on playing the game and what I can find from the internet.
Hope this helps. Is Maquis going to be the best 1 player only board game out there?
