DESCRIPTION

Three Sisters est un jeu d’écriture stratégique sur l’agriculture de jardin. Three Sisters porte le nom d’une technique agricole autochtone encore largement utilisée de nos jours, dans laquelle trois cultures différentes — en l’occurrence, les citrouilles, le maïs et les haricots — sont plantées en étroite collaboration. Le maïs fournit une grille pour les haricots à grimper, les haricots apportent l’azote de l’air dans le sol, et la courge fournit une couverture végétale naturelle de paillis pour réduire les mauvaises herbes et garder les ravageurs à l’écart.

Dans le jeu, vous avez votre propre feuille de joueur avec plusieurs zones : le jardin, qui est divisé en six zones numérotées, chacune contenant les trois types de cultures; le rucher; compost; vivaces; biens; fruits; et la remise, qui est rempli d’outils qui ont des capacités spéciales. Toutes les cultures, les fruits, les fleurs et les ruches sont représentés par des pistes que vous marquerez au fur et à mesure que vous acquérez ces articles. Beaucoup de pistes sont interconnectées avec d’autres éléments dans le jeu, vous donnant des bonus le long du chemin. Une caractéristique commune de ces pistes sont des cercles qui représentent une récolte, qui génère des marchandises; obtenir suffisamment de marchandises, et vous débloquer des actions bonus. Avancer sur toutes ces pistes offre différents montants de points, de progrès et de bonus.

Le jeu dure huit tours. Chaque tour, lancer des dés en fonction du nombre de joueurs, les regrouper par nombre, puis les placer sur un espace d’action de la roue d’action circulaire, en commençant par la position actuelle de l’agriculteur; l’agriculteur se déplace chaque tour, ce qui signifie que les dés montrant 1s, Les 2, etc. se retrouveront sur différents espaces à chaque tour. Une fois que les dés ont été placés, chaque joueur rédige un dé et l’utilise comme décrit ci-dessous. Une fois que tout le monde a rédigé un dé, tous les joueurs peuvent utiliser le dé le moins évalué restant sur la roue d’action. Un dé vous permet de faire deux choses, que vous pouvez faire dans l’un ou l’autre ordre:

  • Planter ou arroser la zone numérotée correspondant à la valeur de la matrice.
  • Prenez l’action de l’espace d’où vous avez retiré le dé.

Pour planter, vous marquez l’espace inférieur de deux pistes de culture vides. (Notez que vous ne pouvez pas planter des haricots jusqu’à ce que le maïs adjacent aux haricots soit assez grand pour les soutenir.) Pour arroser, vous marquez un espace dans toutes les pistes de culture qui ont déjà au moins une marque. Quant aux actions sur la roue d’action, vous pouvez:

  • Planter ou arroser à nouveau dans la même zone numérotée.
  • Gagnez un compost (qui vous permet d’ajuster les valeurs de matrice) et quatre marchandises (qui vous obtiendrez des primes au marché de l’agriculteur).
  • Marquez la piste de la ruche, qui peut vous apporter des points, des biens ou des actions bonus.
  • Marquez l’une des quatre traces de fruits. Chaque fruit vaut différents points et différentes quantités de marchandises et a différentes longueurs de piste et positions de cercle.
  • Visitez le marché fermier, qui vous donne des points et des bonus en fonction du nombre de biens que vous avez collectés.
  • Marquez l’une des quinze pistes d’outils dans votre remise. Dès que vous terminez une piste, vous gagnez cette puissance ou l’occasion de marquer la fin du jeu.
  • Les vivaces n’ont pas d’action directe qui leur est associée et ne sont marquées que par des actions dans d’autres domaines, les différentes vivaces donnant différents bonus au fur et à mesure que vous les marquez.

À la fin du tour, tous les joueurs reçoivent un bonus action, soit la pluie qui arrose toutes les zones numérotées dans votre jardin, un voyage à la remise, ou une visite au marché agricole. Après huit tours, vous marquez des points pour les cultures récoltées, les plantes vivaces, le rucher, les fruits, et quelques articles de hangar. Celui qui a le plus de points gagne.

Three Sisters a un mode solo dans lequel vous essayez de dépasser votre propre score contre un "adversaire" qui brouille les dés et bloque les zones de votre feuille.

Baking soda never works out well
Flavor Name: 1. Sensitive Mint, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don't know why I decided to chance it but it didn't take long for my teeth to start aching. I realized baking soda might be the cause of my toothache issues when I switched between a few and realized the baking soda ones were accompanied by aching. I think I went with this because it claims to be for sensitivity and I thought the nhap would help whatever the baking soda affected but not the case. If you have tooth ache, consider it might actually be the toothpaste and don't just go looking for "sensitive" labels. This might work in combination with other toothpaste. I.e. not multiple times a day but once a day and a different one for other brushing. I've noticed not being as able to tell when it's been a while since I brushed. This was the main change so it might be effective at cleaning. The tube is metal and hard to press but the paste consistency is less firm than others so it works out. It didn't take much to get the paste out. It gives a light foam. The taste is not sweet. It's tolerable but borders on bad.

Mr. Hancock Intrigues Once Again!
Format: Paperback
Mr. Hancock is a fabulous writer/author that I have had the pleasure of reading for many years now! Be it his non-fiction books or like this book, historical-based fiction, he always leaves you thinking and contemplating life and where we come from and how we fit in on this planet and in the this universe! This book had me right from the very first paragraph, I knew it wouldn't take me long to finish it, which it didn't...of course, leaving me hungry for the next book in this trilogy! I have always been intrigued and fascinated with the paranormal and was pleasantly surprised to find it fitting in perfectly and so naturally in this tale. What I would like to thank Mr. Hancock for is his ability to describe scenes, people, actions, interactions, rituals, etc. in such clear, concise and extreme detail using many rarely-used (anymore in this day and age) adjectives making every page come alive for me! I was so enthralled with his writing in this book that I felt like I was watching a movie...very vivid! I almost felt as if I was in that world and that time while reading this fabulous book! I was relating part of the book to my husband one day and actually started out a sentence by saying to him..."she told me", my gosh...I caught myself in mid-sentence...what was I saying?!?! That's how captivating this book and the story was to me...I WAS there! Thank you once again Mr. Hancock for all you do and all your studies...you are always thought-provoking in all you bring to us...your readers, listeners and followers! Your work and travels are much appreciated and certainly needed for the awakening of mankind...please don't quit sharing with us anytime soon!

Gripping & Enthralling
Format: Kindle
Get this book, and jump on the thrill ride. Savage war dogs in full plate armor, human sacrifice on an industrial scale, cannons firing grapeshot point blank into charging hordes of unsuspecting warriors, intense duels within the Spanish and Native groups... this book is graphic and hard to put down. Just be aware that as pt. 1 of a trilogy, it WILL leave you hanging, and wanting more. I suppose that is just the nature of the beast... and we must patiently await pt. 2. Far more historical than a fantasy, but more fantastic than a history... this novel falls almost perfectly into that middle ground, sweet spot. It is extremely well researched, with few liberties taken, so you really feel like you are observing things that could very well have transpired. However, it goes beyond a flat, boring recreation of the extant journals and histories of the conquest of New Spain, and introduces vivid characters, visions, dreams, and witchcraft to bring the tale to life. Historians might appreciate the graphic and accurate depictions of battles and intrigue, and fantasy buffs might dig the subplots involving mushroom visions, metaphysical "gods," and a young witch in Tenochtitlan (being stuff that couldn't be derived from source material and must come from the prolific mind of Mr. Hancock). Some might prefer these things stay separate and "never the twain shall meet," but there are books enough for purists out there. What Graham Hancock has done is present a page-turning story which fully draws the reader into a world which is a fairly good estimation of that world that existed when Cortez & his worldview met the Mexica & the Maya... and supplanted theirs. Given that most everyone on Earth already knows this story--and how it ends--it was IMHO a very wise decision for the author to add drama and tension by fleshing this out into a "fictional" novel. I would say the breakdown is 1/3rd non-fiction, 1/3rd logical extrapolations from what we know, and 1/3rd pure fantasy. I honestly can't say which part I prefer. Just do yourself a favor and read this.

Very impressive
Format: Paperback
I approached this one with caution and came away impressed, glad to have read it, and looking forward to the sequel. It's a fascinating and occasionally breathtaking novel. Hancock has a knack for writing compelling fiction. It's funny: often when people write reviews of his non-fiction books they'll say they read like good thrillers. This one is compelling as fiction but also had enough historical detail to keep me interested beyond the plot and to make me think about the Spanish conquest of Mexico in a different light. I was very grateful for the endnote by Hancock giving an overview of the types of "fictional" elements he introduced into the book (such as combining a couple of historical events into a single event in order to keep the appropriate pace for a novel) because this clarified things and allowed me to come away from the book with a deeper overall understanding of that period in history--which Hancock really does bring alive. Granted, this is Hancock's take on it--even non-fiction historical books have an author's "take" on events--but it seems to be a very well-informed take. Mixed in are supernatural elements and hints of the non-orthodox elements of history that Hancock is known for investigating in his non-fiction. For me, the blend was good. It's not a perfect novel. For example, the style of switching perspective from character to character from short chapter to short chapter was a bit jarring at first; I found it unnecessary and it ended up taking me out of the narrative for a few short moments. (Perhaps this was done to "hit the ground running" and introduce the large cast of characters and plot threads quickly; still, for me it was too much at first.) However, this stylistic approach shifts as the book goes on; the sequences become longer and occasionally blend together. Ultimately this worked, especially given the large cast and numerous plots the book juggles. If it hadn't worked, I would've put the book down; as it was, I did end up turning pages (on my Kindle) rather quickly and not getting bored. There is an immense amount of blood and gore. Very graphic. I won't pass judgment on it. It did give a pretty visceral impression of the whole human sacrifice element of the Mexica and other peoples, and of what battle was probably like at the time. Character-wise the book is diverse and interesting. There are a few semi-saccharine moments and lightly-drawn characters, but in general all are developed to help drive the story forward and to offer possible insights into their historical counterparts. Ultimately I guess we could call this a "sprawling epic," one that wraps up the first part of its story at the end but leaves a huge section to be developed in the next installment. I hope we don't have to wait too long. As I said at the beginning of this review, I didn't really know what to expect from this book but it really was quite fluid, exciting, surprising, and enlightening. Very impressive.

Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction
Format: Kindle
This has been a relentless and compelling read from page one and comes from one of the most innovative thinkers of our time. Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction. Its characters are real and relatable for their humanity, their virtues, their vices, and their corruption. I especially enjoy his characterization of Montezuma and Cortes, two iconic characters from the pages of history who become living, breathing, understandable humans for the readers. The supernatural elements of the story are undeniably present, but they are handled in a way that blends into the tapestry of the story rather than as silly plot devices. Also, those same supernatural elements help throw into sharper relief the unimaginable brutality and horror of which both of these great civilizations on a collision course were capable. The violence is brutal and horrific, no doubt, but for me the gentleness and humanity of the author in describing it softens its impact. Also, even though the book ventures into some very dark, cruel times in human history, the goodness and humanity of many of the characters prevents the story from becoming a tale of despair or hopelessness. I am a fan of Graham Hancock's non-fiction work, and this book firmly cements him as a fiction author I will be revisiting. Superb!
