Ave Uwe: Bali Game Review

If you're reading this right now, there’s a very good chance that, like me, you’re currently sitting in front of a copy of Bali desperately seeking some kind of useful information about it. Something. Anything.

Well, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to my review of Bali, one of Uwe Rosenberg’s most obscure, undercelebrated, gems. As there isn’t even one single review or how-to-play in existence for this game (at least in English), this review is going to be a little rules heavier than is normal for me. If you just want to know what I think about the game, feel free to skip ahead to the Thoughts section. Otherwise, read on as we dig deep into the wonders of Bali.

Overview

From the back of the box (very roughly translated):

“In the kingdoms of the islands, the king’s rule is based on the possession of the famous sacred demon masks. The royal master of ceremonies, the great puppeteer Dalang, travels from island to island and awards demon masks to those rulers who seem worthy to become the next king. To do this, the players gather their forces with the help of scholars and use warriors to drive their fellow players from the current scene. With skillful use of their cards, everyone strives for spiritual and worldly power.”
