Age of Rome: Greek Version (Kickstarter – Emperor Pledge)
60m - 90m
1 - 4 Players
Ages 14+
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.
Set Collection
Maneuvers that directly attack an opposing player's strength, level, life points or do something else to impede their progress.
Take That
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

I want to put a 9, but also 8. I have the Emperor KS edition. I love the screen-printed components. The Acrylic overlays are a gimmick, but I love them as well, and to be honest, a chipboard overlay could disappear on the board or stick out like a sore thumb. I have a number of small quibbles, but I really do like the game despite these. Setup is a little thick, but it eventually makes sense. The difference between the few "gold" and "bronze" is subtle, I may add some sort of identifier... The turn order direction spearhead is miniscule. Based on my first play in a 2 player game, the trade deck felt thin- I had difficulty creating sets, but it may have been my lack of focus and the rewards for use were too appealing to my impatience. Too often I'd play a card to get cards and that could have made the set. I want to question the term "pantheon" for a building that appears to be The Acropolis, but I don't want to question Greeks on Roman architecture... I think that's everything that pulls it towards an 8, now for the items that pull this to a 9. The follower track pushing the milestones lower is a great subtle catch-up mechanism. The placement of schemes and rules of when/how is great. The subtle modifications to the asymmetry of each leader without over-complicating the rules is great. The fit-and-finish of this game is incredible, i.e.: the marbling on the pantheon board matches the marbling on the player board for either side. The deluxe organizer is amazing. I love choices- If a player wants more money, they sacrifice glory points. as i mentioned before, the trade cards can reward glory points when collected in sets, or they can be used for immediate results. The variable turn order without complicated bidding is great.

Lots of scoring opportunities in various areas, but several of them are hampered by considerable randomness in the way the board moves and which of the limited buildings are available. Some really interesting mechanisms (schemes, rotating board), but the core just doesn't mesh together and its very easy to go down routes which just become dead ends due to the event card draw.

I'm excited about the game! The quality is excellent, the acrylic upgrades on the turntable bring many innovations packed into a game that does not tire. The competition between the players is real and as much as it takes to have fun. "Age of Rome" raises the standards and is something very positive for the future of Greek board games.
