Thank you for the video. I'm going to repost something I wrote on another channel. First of all, I respect everyone's opinion and I understand that not all games are for everyone. But in Age of Rome I found something unique, something that I think the designers wanted to give. The fact that the game gives you a difficulty in each turn to manage what is in front of you (and only that) is what I consider magic. Tons of eurogames have this long term strategy, and once you learn it after 2-3 games, you just do the same thing over and over again because you have found your "strategy". But that's not the case here. And that's where I think the unique value of this game lies. If you think you're good at resource management and strategy, then you should be able to adapt to what's in front of you every time. If you want to prove that you can turn situations to your advantage, this is the only game that gives you the opportunity to do so (at least I haven't found anything like it). After all, what's the point of knowing from start to finish how the game is going to go, and therefore how you're going to play from start to finish? There's really no realism to it. The natural flow of things is adaptation. And especially in this game, you know what's going to happen in the short term, not the long term. Here I really felt how to manage a situation in real data (within the limits of a game, of course, and under the prism of the Roman Empire) and how to prove my strategic skills to friends and opponents.
Thanks for sharing! Yes agree that the game is unique. Me (Stella) and Tarrant also didn't full agree on our opinions, hence what you said. Understand how the game plays as you mentioned too. Thanks for the visit
Great review guys! You missed a few things though, like the defense mechanism of the Scheaming action when your board is full of Feud tokens. Also, we say this a lot, in a 3 player game, the player who always gets the empty Province probably has a disadvantage in the action phase, but an advantage in the building phase. That was the design intent. As for the Event cards, we totally agree about their randomness, some people suggested resolving the event cards at the end of the round before rotating the board, maybe that's more strategic. Cheers!
Really appreciate these 7 point reviews gus, thanks so much, you break down what you like and least like from it and different aspects which different peeps would consider. Thank you again
Great video. Thorough, informative and really helps us gamers get the feel for a game so we can make informed decisions whether a game is for us or not 😊.
Nice video. Love the format. And it's great that the review is honest. Probably agree with the big T here, I don't like important aspects being left to chance. Favourite worker placement? Probably Dune Imperium or Lost ruins of Arnak. But all games are good. (Mostly)
