[i]2021/04/09 - 7 plays[/i] Rating as the whole Century system 5.5->8 The final installment of the Century series, A New World is a simple nearly themeless worker (dis)placement game coupled with resource conversion, set collection and a simple skill/power tree or ladder. The setup is more involved than I would like for such a game, but the gameplay is pretty fast. The game system is very bare bones, but has a couple of wrinkles: you need to choose your end game scoring conditions by picking tiles, but you can only pick three of them, and there is tension in the timing of getting them before your opponent vs the risk of choosing suboptimal scoring conditions. At two players one can clearly interfere with the other player by racing for contracts (scoring cards), snatching scoring conditions tiles that favor the other player. At higher player counts I guess this becomes more tenuous and one is back to a more straightforward race. The contract cards also double up as power cards that orient players to certain strategies. At least in the two player configuration these don't seem all to be equivalent, because of the uneven card distribution of the deck, but also because of their mechanical impact, so I'm interested in seeing how that meta evolves.

2021-05: A decent but ultimately forgettable simple euro. It lacks some of the elegance from the first two volumes which just ends up leaving it feeling toothless. It is too bad because I am a fan of the other games in the series, but for my money I would rather go back and play a couple of rounds of Manhattan Project for the place or take them all back worker mechanic.

Really want to rate this higher. The game itself is very smooth and plays very nicely, but the cardstock game and player boards really detract from the overall experience, imho.
