  • Well, the game is worth 5/5 under conditions. It has plenty of rules and each round lasts quite a while, especially with 3 or 4 people. If even one person is not familiar, then it will be a struggle. Overcoming these obstacles, we played this game quite a bit until we set it aside and haven't tried it again since. I kept it though and at some point we will definitely play it again. It is challenging and appeals to those who are hardcore tabletop strategy players. If the group gets familiar with the rules and plays quickly, it can be a great game

    An amazing game that involves building a civilization, from early history to the modern era. There are no wrong moves or bad strategies on how to reach victory, and there are so many things to do that there will always be a good move for you. The way the game "narrates" the story of your civilization is very clever, as you truly feel like you are developing a civilization through successive steps, and there is always the reminder that war is there, forcing you to invest in it without the sense of direct and intense confrontation. Each game can be very long, and it requires you to invest time, things that make the game not so easy to get out of the box. But the time you dedicate to it is not wasted time. It is among the top ten games ever

    It is a difficult, time-consuming game that is worth the effort to learn.... It was challenging for me, I watched videos, read rules, watched playthroughs, played and saw that we still had shortcomings, etc. Then I bought the app. We played many games and learned both the rules and possible strategies well.
    Now when we take it off the shelf, we enjoy it, although to be honest, we prefer the convenience of the app.
    I easily give it 5 stars for its mechanics, replayability, interest, and challenge.
    As for the quality, I didn't like the boards, but otherwise, it has an insert in the box, so the cards, etc. are nicely organized.

    The game is amazing. Of course, one must dedicate time to learn the rules. However, they have such a logical sequence that makes them quite understandable. It lasts a long time, but in the end, it leaves you with a nice feeling of fulfillment and creativity. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy this type of game.
