About Me
Currently I'm exploring Arkham Horror, Commands & Colors Napoleonics, Twilight Struggle, The LOTR the Card Game. I am soon to dive into Eclipse, War of the Ring, Defenders of the Realm, Summoner Wars, Nuns on the Run, & Ora & Labora
Glory to Rome
It’s is easily one of the best card games around. I own the Black Box edition and my ratings reflect that fact.
Components:
My cards and I know many others were certainly not in amazing condition with unusual wear along the edges, I felt compelled to sleeve this game when normally I do not sleeve a game like this. Once sleeved I have been pleased.
Rule book is great and the player mats are great with intuitive iconography and a flow chart to aid mid game.
Gameplay:
I own Race for the Galaxy, Innovation, & Dominion with nearly all the expansions and my opinion is that Glory to Rome implements the best of all the other games and I am a fan of all them all and play them all.
The game can be tricky to learn and trickier to teach but once the engine gets going it is a ton of fun with awesome replayability.
Of the other games mentioned Race for the Galaxy is probably the most similar game and while I love it, we tend to play GtR more often.
