So this was under the tree on Christmas. I must admit that I know very little about this game. I've seen it on store shelves, sure. But I've never played it. I've never even seen anyone play it. My wife said she'd play it once with me, so it's good she's willing to try something new with me. Mind you, it's a game for at least three players, so we'll need someone else as well. And if she's only going to play it once, then I'll need more than one someone else eventually.
So, here's what I do know about it: It's basically a simplified version of Sid Meier's Civilization computer game, except on a table. I'm pretty sure that is an extreme oversimplification, and those who have played this before are free to correct me or elaborate further. There are plenty of YouTube videos that explain how to play, so I'm sure those will be useful.
I just watched a 4-minute video on how to play, and yeah, it looks a lot like a simplified Civ game. I can work with that. I just have to be careful; there are lots of expansion sets, and anyone who has read my 25 Years Later... blog knows that I am a completist by nature. Which means that if we like this game, I'm gonna buy the expansions.
Anyway, I'm going to go take a look at the game and the rules and see what I can suss out. If anyone has experience with the game, let me know what you think of it.
