Toledo - Coming from Kosmos and Mayfair Games
Among the dozens of titles that Kosmos is showing off at the Nuremberg Convention is a new titles from Martin Wallace called Toledo. Mayfair Games will release the game in English, and Ubik will do so in French. Here’s a brief description of the game from Kosmos:
| In the 16th century, the fascinating city of Toledo was the capital of the Spanish empire, a place where Christians, Muslims and Jewish culture mixed peacefully, a place that the great painter El Greco called his homeland. But Toledo was also the center of European swordsmith art.
Your task is this: Forge the most beautiful swords of the city and deliver them to the rules in the Alcazar. Your talent in the procuring of the needed materials is called for at the same time as your dexterity in forging. Don’t neglect your fighting arts if you want to have success. |
Neither Kosmos nor Mayfair nor Ubik have given a release date for this title. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.

I played this about 2-3 years ago at Ransdencon. It is at the lighter, German end of Martin’s range, but had plenty of good options each turn. It will be a purchase when it comes out. Posted by Alan How on Feb 8, 2008 at 05:27 PM | #

Larry, I love Spain and Switzerland, England, Germany and France. And Sweden, Portugal, Croatia & Poland too. Besides, a lot of my friends are European. I think they’ll forgive me. But Larry, please. Don’t diss the clown. The clown is your friend. : ) Cheers! RB
