Title: Fun, but the original is better
Review: Sagrada Artisans is an interesting twist on the original game, but adds complexity without really improving things. If you’re a fan of the excellent base game, Sagrada, the actions you take each round are very similar. Draft two dice and add them to your window. The switch from placing dice to coloring in squares with a colored pencil means you need fewer dice, but each page can only be used once. The game designers threw in a booster pack of pages for continued play after the main legacy campaign is over.I’ve played a few legacy games and this one follows many of the tried & true formulas. New secrets to reveal, new rules to add to the rulebook, etc. But, for an abstract game like Sagrada, it felt a bit forced.Our group did enjoy coloring in the beautiful windows and I appreciate the designers giving us some lovely designs to color in. In that way, it felt a bit like an adult coloring book. Sometimes, players were so focused on coloring their windows, they weren’t paying attention to the game.I was a bit disappointed with some inconsistency with the red and purple colors in the game. The printed colors don’t really match the dice colors or the colored pencils. The result is that the pre-printed red and purple window panes don’t match the colored-in ones. And the black pencil is very light, making it difficult to read the numbers written in the window panes.Overall, I’d recommend that new players start with the standard edition of Sagrada and if your really enjoy it and are looking for more variation, then give Artisans a try.

Title: Kids like it
Review: I used this with my students and at the library after-school program. The students enjoyed it and that’s all I could ask for from a game. No fighting, which was a plus!

Title: Not bad but normal Sagrada is better
Review: I was surprised when they announced a “legacy” version of Sagrada, a popular dice-drafting game with the theme of crafting stained windows. For those unfamiliar with the term, a legacy game is one played as a single campaign over multiple game sessions, where you physically change the components (in this case, coloring them in) over the course of play. So you’ll want a stable 2-4 player group willing to meet regularly until the campaign is finished after 10 game sessions and you retire the game.PLAYING THE GAME / CAMPAIGNAs with normal Sagrada, you play stained-window crafters constructing windows in the La Sagrada Familia cathedral. Everyone gets a journal and there’s a “cathedral board” and set of colored pencils in the center of the table. Each game you’ll all be filling in the next page of the journal. The left page shows what special rules apply in this game and the right page is the stained glass window you’ll be coloring in with those pencils. There’s also a set of cards that include things like a bit of backstory to read, though I’m not sure why this wasn’t just in the journal.The game’s rules actually change and evolve a bit over time; you unlock stickers that you paste into the rulebook to reflect this. But the basic rules are that each turn you roll (2 x Players) + 1 dice and place them on the cathedral board. Everyone chooses one die in player order, then another die in reverse player order (so player 1 would get the first and last die). Use the colored pencils to assign each die to one of the spaces on your journal’s stained glass window (coloring in the space and writing down the number). Like in normal Sagrada, some spaces require a certain color or number, and all placements must be adjacent to each other.Your left page will have some “tools” that you can use by crossing them out. Every unused tool (usually) grants extra VP if you don’t use it. These let you adjust the value of a die or break a specific rule once. After 12 rounds, you’re done! You have specific objectives in your journal that explain how each game session scores, generally a mix of shared and unique (to you) objectives.Winning gets you (and possibly the runner up) Legacy Points. Whoever did worse gets extra tool cards and coins for the next game (as a catch-up mechanic). Coins are used to buy things; I can’t say more without spoilers. Finally you’ll open up new cards and stickers to alter the game a bit for the next session.There’s a card storage pouch in each journal to “save your game” for next session. When you finish all 10 games, whoever has the most Legacy Points is the campaign winner!This version comes with a Window Booster Pack which (as I understand it) lets you continue the campaign for longer than 10 games. We haven’t finished the campaign yet so I haven’t opened it. In addition, you can purchase a Campaign Reset Pack (sold separately) with new journals, rulebook, stickers, etc. so you can play another campaign without having to buy the game all over.MY EXPERIENCEI didn’t love this and I’m not sure if we’ll finish the campaign. In normal Sagrada you build beautiful displays by putting the pretty dice directly onto your board. Here, you use colored pencils which don’t have the same appeal. Plus the pencil colors DON’T MATCH the preprinted colors in the journal (which is mind-boggling) and you’ll need your own black pen because the black pencil isn’t dark enough for its purpose (IMO).Also the rules have some serious, significant mistakes. I didn’t realize this until we had to search the internet for a FAQ and it turns out there’s errata! Some rules are also hidden inside the flap of the envelopes, which took us a minute to notice.Honestly, this isn’t a bad game by any stretch, but it just makes me want to play normal Sagrada. This was a great normal game that didn’t need to become a legacy game. Also, I’m glad I didn’t pay for my copy, because I would have been upset if I’d spent this much for 4 coloring books and some dice.

Title: Beautiful
Review: I love games. I have an entire closet (6, 6 ft. long shelves) completely full of games. I haven’t counted in years, but well over 100.Sagrada is easily in my top 5. I own the base game and every expansion, and play them fairly often. Artisans for me was a no-brainer.This is a competitive legacy version of Sagrada. If you don’t know what that means, it basically means the game is played over multiple sittings, with evolving rules, things being added or removed, and a running score that carries over rounds. In Sagrada: Artisans’ case, it is played over 10 windows.Without spoiling the many little packages that are added over the course of the game, I will say that what you get is all Sagrada. Nothing too out of left filed or unfitting to the game.Art direction wise, this is probably the prettiest game I own. The windows you color are nicely thought out, and are basically each part of an adult coloring book if you wanted to color them all. The box itself is hands-down the biggest eye-catcher on my shelves.Any gripes I have are very minor. The colored pencils aren’t the best. We did replace those with some from our kid’s art supplies.Sticker shock could be an issue. This is not a cheap game. If you look at it from the perspective that it is a 10-game long legacy for 4 players, it’s a lot more justifiable. The box also contains the first art pack, which is 4 pages each of all the campaign windows and a handful of Kickstarter designs, so there is a degree of replayability.On a final note, let’s talk accessibility. I mentioned Sagrada being one of my overall favorite games. I should mention that that is the case despite a degree of color-blindness that makes telling some of the dice apart a challenge. Artisans completely remedies this problem by adding texture to colors and putting glitter inside certain colors of dice.If you enjoy Sagrada, get this game. If you haven’t played Sagrada, get Sagrada.
