Review: Innovative, fun and non-imperialistic game! - Amazingly creative, fun and well made game! It’s one of our family favorites. It’s complex and requires a lot of setup but the experience is always fun for us and the game pieces and artwork are really beautiful. It’s also not a game based on destruction, imperialism and colonization so that’s a HUGE plus!

Great game, played often. Not for casual boardgamers. This is a heavy strategy game that can last for 3+ hours.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great board game, but not for beginners!
*by T***E on November 25, 2025*

As fantastic as this game is, be aware that the learning curve is pretty steep and playing time is significant. Don't think I'll ever tackle the 1-player mode, but it's nice that it exists. All in all, no regrets!
