Review Detail

Although well rounded and interesting in terms of mechanics and theme, the game play too often falls flat, especially in the early part of the game. There's too much time conquering neutral territories at the start, the large attacker advantage removes much of the tension from combat and there's basically not much point in keeping tabs on the game when it's not your turn. Which is a shame because in other respects this is a clever, well-balanced game which will tax many different gaming skills.
