If your group gets pummelled with curses and find they’re losing more often than not….instead of using all 13 tiles as the instructions suggest, only use half with half original tiles. Or any combination, that maintains both challenge and fun. So long as you have the 13 tile total.
Simple poker chips work great for life markers. I already had some old ones lying around. Different Color’s make it easy.
This rule is a must when playing with expansions, but you can use it with the base as well. With expansions, as stated in the Millionaire’s Row rule book, you shuffle the supply cards and deal 10 cards out randomly (no duplicates) and that will be your marketplace. Seeing as there isn’t a huge variety of supply cards in just the base game, you can drop the number of cards in the marketplace to 5. This will save room on the table (and force some of those people who buy all of the same card to venture out of their comfort zone).
Poker chips are a far superior option then the paper bills. This has been said on other forums but at least a nice number of 4 different colors will work a lot better than the paper money. It’s easier to count your opponents money too as long as you can remember the denominations.
For easier set up and tear down we put a player’s set of colored cubes and all houses and huts in a single baggie. So each player will have all their tokens after opening box.
This is my all time favourite game.
Simple (relatively) but still strategic.
Historical
Just plain fun
Plenty of online support for the game – so more scenarios than you have time to play.
hi, can it be played only on the ipad or can it be played on pc too?
Phenomenal tug-o-war style game that utilizes multi use cards in a fantastic way. Highly balanced game play and highly thematic.
Cqn u even play any of the games on this website??? I only came to this website cuz the card wars game was removed from iOS…

Some Eurogames can be pretty heavy but Stone Age is not so much so. Probably a good entry into this type of gaming and a go to for our family.
Rules are fairly easy to remember, setup is quick, and there are many elements and actions you can do. Only drawback for those that are unlucky, is that there is a cup of dice involved for materials and strategy needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Still a great game and one we get out when we want to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day.
Catan is a great intro game before getting into more complex titles. It’s one of my favourites for playing with friends and is typically the game I refer to most when talking about board games to try for people who haven’t played more than Monopoly and Scrabble before.
It’s all about gathering up resources, trading with your pals (or not, if you’re feeling sneaky), and building up your spots on the board to snag those victory points. It’s got this perfect mix of luck and strategy that means you’re always engaged, but you don’t have to be a grandmaster strategist to stand a chance of winning.
I can’t speak on the expansions other than the 5-6 player one, but the base game is a timeless classic. What’s really cool about Catan is how it’s pretty much become the poster child for getting into more modern board games. It’s not just about rolling dice and moving pieces; it’s about thinking ahead, making deals, and sometimes, a little bit of luck. And it’s super social. You’re not just staring at the board; you’re chatting, laughing, and yeah, maybe a bit of friendly trash-talking.
This is a simple operational game on the eastern front that gives both sides opportunities to defend and attack as well as take chances with the chit pull activation system. It has an epic feel that puts you in charge of the overall theater commander. My one complaint is that it needs a reprint with larger counters. It was created by the now highly regarded Japanese designer Tetsuya Nakamura, who most recently designed Traces of War on the same theater by VUCA Simulations.
If you know your friends and you know their persuasion skills, this is the game for you. A murder-mystery at the dinner table and just an overall fantastic experience that you can pick up for less than $10 most of the time!
Best for groups too that like to get into costume for game night as well, My group is one of those and it just adds to the experience. I don’t know what else to say, play it!
The most Fun Setup: 5 players: King, Queen, Judge, Witch and Thief&Fool (instead of recommended Bishop and Cheat setup). Tried all the combinations to this game, and with different players/people and with different number of players (from 2 to 13). The best and most fun setup is not what the game suggests, for 5 players, but the above mentioned. And exactly 5 players and these 6 cards. It should be better rated, for how much fun it is, with different setups than the game suggests in the manual…
