Board gamesOct 06, 2008 It was gift for a cousing who is 11 year old. It was fun for kids
Too complex to figure outSep 25, 2008 We purchased this game because we love Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne, thinking this will be another great board game to enjoy. Unfortunately, we were unable to understand the instructions enough to ever play it, even though we are intelligent, well educated people. We have never had a problem learning a game before this. I ended up selling it on ebay at a loss. It would have helped us if we had a friend who has played it before, and who could explain it to us. I am sure it is a great game once you know how to play, but that is where the problem lies.
Better than Catan!Sep 08, 2008 We took it out of the box 3 times before we actually played through an entire game. You really have to rely on the game guide to make any sense of the game at all. However, once you get a feel for the game, it is amazing! There are so many different layers of strategy, and no two games are the same. We love this more that Catan/Cities & Knights now. Awesome!
great gameAug 26, 2008 This game has great expansion possibilities. Lots of fun for a family that likes thinking/startegy games.
Great game if you take the time to learn the rulesJun 09, 2008 I've only played the game once so far, but I gotta say that I had a lot of fun! It's a true strategy game and I can't wait to play it again!!
Although, this game takes patience to learn. We played with three people, and it took us around 4 hours to get through the game. If one of us had played before, I think it would have gone a lot quicker. With the learning experience behind us, introducing it to friends will be a lot easier. If you really want to play this with a whole family, then take the time to learn the game on your own (aka: read the manual throughly!), and then introduce it to them.
I could easily see the games going MUCH faster now. The box states that it takes around 90 minutes to complete a game, and this seems very attainable.
Overall, it's truly some of the most fun I've had playing a board game! 5 stars!!
