In fact, there are also many special years in the board game that are recorded in the name of the game, and there is no shortage of classics, so collecting games with this as the main line will also have a different style!
Messina 1347
In 1347, rats with the Black Death virus came to the Italian port of Messina on a sailboat, and finally spread the Black Death to all of Europe. The Black Death caused serious deaths and injuries in Europe, directly or indirectly contributing to a large number of historical events, and the board game also commemorated it with Messina 1347.
Isolate, burn, rebuild, and in the face of the spreading plague, players need to constantly strengthen their abilities. The worker placement mechanism of walking to pay for the road fee combined with more action choices and COMBO trigger possibilities gives players a lot of room to think. The different development directions of the three supervision tracks can combine N kinds of effects.
Although the ultimate goal of German-style games is to score points, it is also a theme of the times to do a good job of epidemic prevention by the way.

The year 1830 was very special in the board game world, it made the german stick ecstatic and cute. In 1830, the first railroads in the United States ran on south Carolina locomotives, from Baltimore to inland Ohio, opening the prelude to the construction of the railroad.

Brussels 1893
1893 was a relatively peaceful year, the smoke of the Franco-Prussian War dissipated, and the land of Europa ushered in a long-lost tranquility. Brussels, the capital of Belgium, was experiencing its fastest period of development at this time, and the political civilized democracy and relaxed environmental atmosphere gave birth to the Art Nouveau movement, advocating the participation of artists in product design, leading a new generation of fashion trends.
The board game Brussels 1893 has an elegant layout and card art design, and the German atmosphere comes to the face after unfolding. The game combines a variety of mechanisms such as auction and worker placement, and the strategic route is divided into building flow, art flow, human logistics, etc. Each game will set up a different main layout, which tests the player's ability to plan the route and the grasp of the route control, which belongs to the game type of one-trick carelessness and full disk running.

"1960 Presidential Election"
1960 was the year that changed American history. Kennedy became famous in the first world war and defeated the political veteran Nixon. An important turning point in the election was the televised debate that year, when Nixon was scheming and preparing his own series of achievements and a package of governing packages.
As a result, Kennedy trotted all the way out of the car, and his wheat-colored skin, confident speech, and mesmerizing countenance blew a whirlwind directly, wiping out Nixon's advantage. The shadow of the fiasco hung over Nixon, and since then he has been blackened to the point of unscrupulousness, single-handedly contributing another two-person political board game for the board game players, Watergate.
Back to the game itself, "1960 Presidential Election", this game is in line with "Cold War Hot Fight", focusing on card drive + action point allocation + area control. On this basis, we have also innovatively developed interactive links that force trigger the opponent's own effect in the hand card and preemptively prohibit the other party's trigger effect.
In order to combine the theme of the game, the sixth and ninth rounds of the game are special TV debates and election day sessions, and the process changes bring about a change in rhythm while adding a lot of substitution. As a political board game, "The 1960 Presidential Election" has a clear theme, excellent combination of mechanisms, and moderate length, which is worth having.
Most of the dates recorded in the name of the board game are older or more significant, and most of the games are of good quality and have a good sense of historical substitution. Combing through the years in board games can also recall the historical context and the history of the progress of board game mechanisms.
