  1. 5 out of 10

    What an odd mix this game ended up being. The focus row, and how it integrates into the tech tree, is as fun and novel as advertised. I'm somewhat amenable to the expansion and maturation process of your cities. The rest is either neutral or drags the game down. Each turn plays briskly, but can feel too incremental. The wonders are great, but building one also rubber bands a little bit if you cross eras. The asymmetric player powers seem to have less impact than map position. The game's arc is strangely a combination of swift (e.g., the focus bar and the action cards); slow (e.g., actually bordering another player); and capricious (e.g., early game barbarian movement mixed with initial board placement). Add in the victory conditions that seem balanced to fit a targeted game time, as opposed to being interesting strategically, and you are left with a game that straddles good and bad. This is an over-generalization, but this game feels like an optimization euro that has been given an ill-fitting suit of a civilization game. As an optimization euro with a civilization setting, Antiquity is better and has a smaller rule set. Scythe also comes to mind as an offering that fits its setting better. If I want a civilization game, I strongly prefer, at least, more immediate player interaction or a greater sense of exploration.

    Very good new version of the classic series. Plays much more faster than previous version and more abstract too. Like it!

  3. Gotta play double-handed as a solo player, but I love the original videogame and good practice for real wargames' dualminded, back-and-forth solo play. And...

Description from the publisher:

Sid Meier’s Civilization: A New Dawn is a strategy board game in which two to four players act as the rulers of history’s most memorable empires. Over the course of the game, players will expand their domains, gain new technologies, and build many of humanity’s greatest wonders. In the end, one nation will rise above all others to leave its indelible mark upon history.

This new game presents players with an undiscovered country to conquer, built from beautifully illustrated map tiles. These would-be conquerors construct and populate the map with barbarians, natural resources, and city-states, then formulate their plans for how they will shape this world to their vision. Their exact goals, however, change with each game. Agendas are detailed on victory cards, three of which are drawn during set up. Players race to become the first to accomplish one agenda on each of these victory cards, spreading throughout the world and ensuring their civilization’s place as the greatest world power.
