Fun almost-roll-and-write with fantastic production values in the plastic pieces (although the boards are iffy being yellow and hard to read). Would have liked a bit more variety in universal events or something else that crops up, but this was definitely fun with a great table presence.

Some mixed feelings on this. It’s better than any of the Roll Through the Ages stuff, which hasn’t aged that well. Simultaneous play helps a lot, as it did for Roll Through the Galaxy; unlike Roll, the player interaction is fairly limited here so simultaneous play is a big deal. I tend to like dice games more in principle than in practice, but I like Era, so that’s nice. It’s just really expensive for what it is. Plus, as boardgames have gotten more extravagant and more disposable, and as the climate crisis has become both immediate and dire, I’ve become more sensitive to whether we’re using resources wisely. This is a fun game. I don’t think it’s worth this huge amount of non-recyclable plastic. 50k units (or whatever) of Era isn’t significant compared to say, your daily commute. But waste is waste.

Era: Medieval Age serves as the spiritual successor to Roll Through The Ages. While Roll Through The Ages was a pioneer for roll-and-write-style games, Era is a pioneer for roll-and-build!

In Era, your dice represent different classes of medieval society as players attempt to build the most prosperous city. The “build” comes into play as players actually build their cities on their boards. You will use beautifully modeled three-dimensional components such as walls, keeps, farms, and other structures. By the end of the game, each player will have a unique city of their very own!

Era: Medieval Age is made even more challenging as players interact with each other in ways such as extortion, scorched earth, and, of course, disease! Hey, this is the Medieval Age, right? Speaking of which, Era serves as the first of a new series of standalone roll-and-build games from Matt Leacock and eggertspiele!
