Civilization

anandyctedstar9.0

Very few simple rules for an epic game that encompasses everything: resource (tokens) management, diplomacy, trading,area control, tech specialisation. Can be played very well in 4-6p in 4h with a short variant (see forum) Once again the genius of an old classic game is that the game itself is made by the players, not by the rules. The rules are a canvas, a framework, where players are left as free to move as possibile. Conversely modern games tighten the control of player actions in order to guide the gameplay and make the game too strict, like a straitjacket. All the mechanics fit together perfectly. A leader will be fought on the map and excluded on the trade (as he'll probably have more calamities). The expansion comes at a cost and can't be done mindlessly. The conflict will create enemies on the trade side. The calamities themselves shift the board state enough to keep you on your toes and avoid a static game state. Modern games (like Scythe) should learn how to render a game less boring and repetitive, from a game of 40+ years ago. The real issue can be playtime, but playing with an adapted, shorter AST track solves it (still a 4h game, though)
