Try it 2p or 3p: it's as balanced as in 4. (maybe the black player has to be played only in 4p game)
And I don't agree with the worker placement critic: all actions in the game are difficult to achieve, and so interconnected…I like it just like that.
Sure, not the best game ever, but IMHO a well done one.
This seems kind of similar to GMT's COIN Series. Is that accurate? At least in the whole asymmetrical factions type thing.
As someone who have read the books I can say, that they tried to stay very close to the books' theme and story. That was nice of them. But, because they put "true to the story" above gameplay, the game seems very fiddly and just plain chaotic.
Krzysztof Wolicki, the designer,made another Polish book to board game translation, and it was also too fiddly for my liking.
Game type: Assymetric. heh.
Looks confusing.
This game doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Talk about arbitrary theme.
Tom really outdid himself on those Christmas decorations.
Basically, a Euro version of Chaos in the Old World?
Yeah, no way paying over $100 for this when there is so much more out there for less. This game would have to be perfect for that price.
Norse mythology meets sci-fi meets worker placement meets wooden cubes/victory points. All of which equals to a bunch of nonsense.
It's much more entertaining when you know book. I hope it will be translated to english. :)
And let us not forget that the pre-order price for this game was $150!!!!!
When the review part starts and the first thing mentioned is the "production value" or the quality of the components… you know it's not going to be very favorable :-)
Locks like playing cyclades without the bidding and workerplace on the gods.
