Review Detail

Everything in this design works so well with the rest of the design that it's easy to forget that none of it seems to serve very well in service of anything else. The "achievement" style of victory is well executed, though it doesn't really give a feeling of stakes for some things that really need them, like the combat. Still, it's a rich strategic game, and one that has proven enduring in a flash-in-the-pan era of the hobby. Definitely worth checking out.
