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
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.
Variable Player Powers
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.

Future actions where you have to wait to get your worker back is a neat idea. Also the military track being a way to block an opponent from going to your spot is a less aggressive way of doing military.

The thrust of the game is collecting resources to convert into cards you can buy from a display. The cards are more than VPs and offer differing types of benefits or discounts to other cards. Collecting your own set of card powers and forging a VP path is the ostensible fun of the game. And it’s certainly easy enough to release a simple card pack as an expansion if the game catches on. There are a few innovations here of note. The first is placing workers into the future (technically, explorers who take longer to come home since they’re off exploring the hinterlands). The other innovation is military. As per usual w-p rules, you cannot place where somebody else already is. Unless, that is, you’re higher on the military track, then you can place there (and then degrade a military). You don’t *have* to go up the military track as you do have one Grande, er, Chieftain whom you can place anywhere regardless of your military rating. Then there's starting bonus power that, while not quite as game-breaking as those in The Voyages of Marco Polo, are pretty powerful and guide your focus in the game. What’s more is that once per game you may flip your power from its starting “child” side to the “adult” side and use it to get VPs at the cost of the neat power it was affording you. I can’t thematically explain that, but it’s a neat idea nonetheless. Players should be aware, however, that there is a raid action in the game. You can raid other players and if they have a minimum number of resources, they must give you one (or more depending) of their choice. The trick is just to spend what you have before you load up. One friend had 12 so, hell, I raided him and took 2 (max 1x per turn). Thing is, players give you what [b]they[/b] want not what you want, so as the raider in both my games, I didn’t find it nearly as powerful as I wanted it to be. On the plus side, my friends didn't hate the game as a result of being raided. The board has variable action strips, so each game is different. After the current round ends, you flip the action strip over and there are new spaces available. It also means that resource spaces that were previously available are gone, so you get pushed to place into the future for the resources you need. Sometimes it felt like a false choice; you simply had to. Also a bit wonky was turn order. It’s an action to take. We found the 1st and 3rd players bouncing it back and forth with the 2nd and 4th players not caring because they would bounce back and forth between 2nd and 4th. Why bother taking the action; force them to burn a guy and roll with it. I liked it well enough but it just didn’t spark my gamer imagination like I thought it would. The w-p innovation of placing into future rounds is neat but … not interesting enough to rise to the level of being a benefit; it’s simply a feature. I couldn’t hazard a guess as to how many plays this one has. The novelty may wear off after 3-5 plays in which case I’d be happy to have had them. Or we may discover it has more legs than expected.

First Play: The extensive variations to set up take the replayability off the scale. No two games will ever be the same. A clever and involved game that cements Quined Games as a serious top flight publisher. Possibly very AP prone so players need to be selected carefully.
