{"product_id":"saint-malo","title":"Saint Malo","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeveloper Stefan Brück at alea describes Saint Malo as \"a light, dice-rolling strategy game in which the players draw their own city buildings, walls, and people on wipe-off boards\".\n\nIn more detail, in Saint Malo players roll five dice to gain various resources; combinations of dice create enhancements like characters or buildings, which can provide additional victory points, money, or special actions, such as altering the outcome of a die roll. Players draw symbols for their holdings on erasable boards showing a grids of their cities to create individual towns. Players could build storehouses on particular squares, for example, then place a merchant nearby to gain money each turn. Another important character is the soldier; players must acquire these to defend themselves from pirate attacks that can decimate their towns.\n\nSaint Malo rates a 2 out of 10 on Alea's difficulty scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.90 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inka Brand, Markus Brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"alea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909463605464,"sku":"SB-6DAE96AA28E0-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/xaelmpwx8xkz8pfzekqy0xr9esge.jpg?v=1785459843","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/saint-malo","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
