If you were a politician in an ancient civilization, you'd probably just babel on. Join Cody as he unearths this civilization-building eurogame from Stonemaier Games. Will it bring order and stability to your tabletop? Or should you just throw it to the barbarians? Let's watch!

This definitely is my favourite Stone Maier Game.

@TheDiscriminatingGamer Жыл бұрын

I can see why.

Top five game for me. I know you don’t often solo games but this has a really fun automa.

That's what I hear. Maybe someday.

My wife told me she was going to buy this game for Christmas so I didn't. So glad to hear the positive review. Can't wait to play.

Excellent. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I had the exact same experience when I played it. Not usually what I'm looking for when I play a Civilization game (which I love) and found some of the thematic elements jarring (e.g., inventing the light bulb in the stone age) but I thoroughly enjoyed the game and find myself wanting to play it again because of the intriguing puzzle it presents and its re-playability.

@TheDiscriminatingGamer Жыл бұрын

Indeed. It's a lot of fun despite some thematic wonkiness.

I am surprised how much I love this one. I ended up buying all the expansions as well.

@TheDiscriminatingGamer Жыл бұрын

Took me by surprise as well. I'll have to look into the expansions myself.

@robertvella4919 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, have all the expansions, they're great.

@danmillar6323 Жыл бұрын

It's been a long time since I played this game. I remember liking the mechanics, but the theming felt a little silly sometimes with how things worked out. For example I somehow knew how to build zepplins and batteries before inventing nails.

@TheDiscriminatingGamer Жыл бұрын

I can see that, but it's still a fun and engaging game.

The expansions make this from a 7 to a 9. Especially arts and architecture. It adds a 5th track but it doesn't add much more complexity. I call this "Civ Sauced" This game is great. Its in my top 10.

Perhaps I'll have to try the expansions down the line. Thanks.

My grandma worked on ancient tapestry restoration for local government.. ... .. .. .. but she had no tailoring skills whatsoever, she was an embroider of the truth and really stitched up local government by charging them monies.

We've enjoyed the game and yes, you do have to get over the idea that it's not actually a civ game. I like the very asymetric civs too. My main gripe with the game is the variance of the tapestry cards. THAT'S what is going to make or break you. I don't think I can recall a game where the winner did NOT have better Tapestry cards than everyone else. If you keep getting stuck with weak ones... or ones you just have no ability to exploit... you're done. Still, once everyone has the rules down, the game plays fairly quickly.

your favorite Stonemaier game? really? I thought you were more a "dudes on a map" (~4X) gamer. doesn't Scythe hold that spot?

@chrisedwards6573 Жыл бұрын

This isn't a bad game, but it's not a civlization building game. It has that theme, but it doesn't have any actual civilization building. It's just a Euro game, and IMO not a particularly good one.

I absolutely despised that game. It’s a bingo-card tracks simulator. The aspects of civilization building are void. I get that it’s kind of a point salad, but if you call it a civ game and it’s not, it failed.

@TheDiscriminatingGamer Жыл бұрын

To each their own. I agree that the Civ component is light. But I still really enjoy it.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Indeed. I realize that in my case Stonemeier Games has a passable hit rate. I hate Scythe too, but like Wingspan. So who knows.
