Via Nebula

Clear the Fog and Rebuild

A valley emerges from an era of monstrous creatures and darkness. A thick fog lingers, concealing treasures and opportunities untold. You’re going to clear the fog, unveil natural resources, and build up society so the valley’s people can live in peace and prosperity once again.

In the game Via Nebula, players compete to rebuild the Nebula Valley as it recovers from a dark age, by clearing the valley’s fog and locate resources. Whoever has done the most to restore the region’s buildings and towns wins!

Play in 60+ minutes
For 2-4 players
Ages 12 and up

A light strategy game of exploration, building, and prosperity

Let the charming style of Via Nebula win you over as you build the Nebula Valley’s future.

Discover A Valley Rich in Resources

When you arrive in the Nebula Valley, you’ll find it shrouded in fog but rich in natural resources. Your first task, then, is to clear the fog and unveil those resources, brought to life in playful, colored wood tokens.

Rebuild a Fanciful World

There’s plenty to be done in Nebula Valley. To fulfill a building contract, you’ll need to transport the necessary resources to your site. The game ends as soon as any player has built five buildings, and the player with the most victory points wins!

Really like this game! Comes with cool pieces, and a great board organizer built into the box. Just be careful when you're punching out the meadow hexagons out of the box. I had a few that tore a little bit and wouldn't break out very cleanly. Not a big issue tho, very happy with this purchase!

Building Roads and helping your competition at the same time

Via Nebula is a lighter, entry level Euro game for 2-4 players. It involves creating roads, harvesting resources and fulfilling contracts to create buildings. The end game is reached when the fifth building has been built.

Via Nebula is a beautiful game, featuring a bright board, vibrant colors and smiling in-game characters. The simple mechanism of laying down meadow tiles to make roads is bolstered by the fact that your opponents can also use your roads. Revealing resources on a tile, means that your opponents can also take those resources, use your roads to get back to their building sites and complete their buildings. In other words, your actions can and will benefit your competitors at times.

Each round you have 2 actions you can take, laying tiles, placing workers, taking resources, putting a job site down and finishing a contract make up the bulk of your actions. These contracts in turn offer bonus abilities that range from nothing, to conveying bonuses at the end of the game. Each player also receives two secret contracts that only they can complete, in addition to the main contracts which lie face up and can be used by any player.

This is a fast-paced, fun Euro title, that while light, has a large amount of variety between the resources always being placed randomly, to not seeing all of the contracts every game. With only two actions per turn, it should also be faster, with a 4 player game being over in an hour if there is not too much "Analysis Paralysis".

A nice step up from games like Catan. The board might make this look like a tough game, but it's very easy to teach to newbies, and everyone I have taught loves this game. Each game has a different feel thanks to the the variable layouts too.

Via Nebula is a pick up and deliver game with a twist. After 4 plays, I think the player count factors heavily into the enjoyment. I would not play this as a 2 player and might hesitate with 3. That being said, I think it is best with 4. Here are a few quick notes;
*Aesthetics/components- Great looking with a unique art style, but very fantastical in nature (we tend to like more realistic based themed games). Wooden bits, cards, and tokens top of the line...like all space cowboy games!
*Difficulty to learn/play- Simple to teach and play if you are a modern board gamer. Wouldn't be difficult to learn even if you aren't.
*Length- Fastest 4p game was about an hour and ten minutes, slowest 4p game was about hour and forty-five minutes (first game).
*Condition game arrived- Great condition, sealed, no box damage. Shipped to an APO, across the waters.
*Feels like?- Pick up and deliver can sometimes be bland. This one feels like Cinque Terre mashed with Relic Runners if you are familiar with those.
*Replay factor- Randomness in initial token setup. Double sided board. Different building cards to draw also shake things up.
*Fun factor- Hmmm, a bit of a lightweight game if you are a modern board gamer. Player count issue as stated above. We also didn't have any "Damn that was cool!" moments in our games. Nevertheless, a game we like and would play again, so I would say it is OK in this aspect.

Muy buen juego de Toma y Entrega
Reviewed in Mexico on November 27, 2017
Verified Purchase

Este es un juego muy simple, muy sencillo y con componentes de una calidad increíble.
La colocación del juego es muy sencilla y rápida. Se coloca el tablero, se colocan de manera aleatoria las losetas de recursos y se entrega a cada jugador un tablero personal y todas las piezas de su color.
El objetivo es tener la mayor cantidad de puntos (qué raro) y, para ello, necesitaremos completar ciertos contratos que podrán contener uno de los siguientes recursos: Madera, Piedra, Adobe, Puerquitos (los meeples están geniales) y Trigo. Para poder completar estos contratos se realizarán en el turno dos de las siguientes acciones (pueden repetirse exceptuando la 2 que si se toma sólo puede realizarse esa):
1.- limpiar la niebla que se encuentra en los caminos (cuando se quita la niebla se van colocando losetas sin niebla, cuando se van colocando se liberan espacios en tu tablero personal que dan puntos de victoria al final del juego)
2.- Limpiar la niebla que se encuentra en los caminos difíciles (sucede lo mismo que en la acción anterior sólo que "por la dificultad de la tarea, sólo puedes hacer esta acción en tu turno)
3.- Enviar a un explorador a descubrir recursos (esta acción te otorga una ficha que al final del juego te otorga puntos de victoria)
4.- Apartar una loseta de construcción para construir una de tus ciudades
5.- Transportar recursos a una ciudad
6.- Construir una ciudad y completar el encargo (el completar el encargo te permite adquirir la tarjeta del encargo que te dará puntos de victoria y una habilidad especial)
Es importante mencionar que puedes realizar la misma acción dos veces si así lo deseas o mezclarlas exceptuando la número dos.
Después de que se construye la quinta ciudad se termina el juego y, quien active el final del juego se lleva otros dos puntos de victoria.
Al final del juego se cuentan lo puntos de victoria de los contratos completados, las losetas de recursos adquiridas y la cantidad de espacios liberados en los tableros personales y listo, el que tiene más puntos es el ganador.
La ventaja de este juego es que lo puedes enseñar en menos de 10 minutos y si hay alguna duda todas las acciones están impresas en los tableros de cada jugador.
Me gusta mucho y es un excelente juego "gateway" para iniciar a los no muy conocedores de este hermoso hobby
