Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization
120m - 120m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 14+
This mechanic requires you to place a bid, usually monetary, on items in an auction of goods in order to enhance your position in the game. These goods allow players future actions or improve a position. The auction consists of taking turns placing bids on a given item until one winner is established, allowing the winner to take control of the item being bid on. Usually there is a game rule that helps drop the price of the items being bid on if no players are interested in the item at its current price.
Auction/Bidding
Card drafting games are games in which players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some advantage (immediate or longterm) or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game.
Card Drafting
Maneuvers that directly attack an opposing player's strength, level, life points or do something else to impede their progress.

Great game that is deserving of it's reputation, but not really for me. I give it high praise for doing such a great job of capturing the epic scope of a civilisation game using only card drafting. Sadly I find Through the Ages too long and punishing to want to play much, even with the app. Probably because the skill curve is too high for me, that I never really feel like I am getting better at the game. I have also found player counts over 2 to have too much bottom feeding, resulting in the player behind in military to be constantly attacked and never having enough resources to catch up.

Just a bit too hard to teach and have a good time playing. The action point system also slows down the game and feels antiquated.

Having played this only digitally I am thankful as I could only expect that it would take much longer in person for all the card movements that happen. This game does have some cool mechanics and a spread of things like production, technology, military, and historical leaders. To me the greatest downfall is that each player is subjected to the whims of card draws. Needing science but the players before you grabbed up the science production cards, well you are out of luck. Now without a better science production you can't easily upgrade your materials production, or your military.
