“great game to play with friends who already know how to play.”

Honestly one of my favorite games of all time.

Due to its “chess” like nature, the replay value is excellent, and actually… the modular element makes it much more intriguing.

The components are excellent, they feel good in your hand and are interesting enough to get people to look at it.

The skill curve can be pretty big, i typically stomp new players at least 10 games in a row. So its easy to learn, hard to master.

“As skill based as your gonna get for a game with dice. ”

sometimes the dice can really screw you, but honestly 90% of the time skill wins out. This game has some pretty good replay value, some new cards would push the longevity. Components are fantastic, i love the look and feel of all the pieces.

Learnability is probably the worst part about it, not only do you have to learn the stock worker placement mechanics, but you also have to adapt to the dice mechanics. Optimally you would want to start someone off with Stone Age and then play this.
