Love seeing this game getting some attention on the DT! It is amazing, and I think you hit the mail on the head about it feeling like age of empires. One other thing to note that you didn’t mention is that you can trade almost anything with other players. So in 4 player games, there can sometimes be some good politicking happening.
My favorite civilization game is easily Innovation by Carl Chudyk. I am eagerly anticipating the new Innovation Ultimate that is currently funding on BackerKit. The Flow of History by Jesse Li is also fantastic! I love the sniping rules in its auction mechanism. Honorable mentions are Patchistory, Euphrat & Tigris, and Through the Ages.
I’m looking for a good civ game after trying Mosaic last week. I thought it was good but felt like it was a bit long for what it was and was missing something. Clash of cultures plays around 4-5 hours. I’m looking for something at around 3 hours max.
Hey! My first game of mosaic I felt it was too long also but I found an easy variant in bgg where you place the scoring cards in a specific space and it helps a lot. I tried it in a 2 and a 4 player game and it was awesome! CoC is also an amazing but different game
@@TheLatestRetroBoardGameShow That's great to hear, but you still prefer Clash of Cultures? I am trying to pick a civ game to buy. Also, where did you get that shirt, I love it!
@@boxfarts3847Karla got it for me somewhere lol! I don’t know that this is over Mosaic for me as in if you hand me both which will I grab for the night. Similar taste for sure and both are great.
Christian Marcussen may be the king of play aids then, as the ones in Merchant & Marauders are also fantastic (apart from their odd size).
My favourite is Through the Ages but now you got me really interested in Clush of Cultures thanks for this cool overview.
You are reviewing the best civ board game in the market right now! Close second would definitely be New Dawn
I never played new dawn, but the original ffg one. How is it?

Not at 2 or 3 it clips along super fast for us but then again we aren’t socializing when getting a game in for a review lol!
You can finish COC in 3hrs once you all know the game. Just the last few rounds are slower. The earlier part zips along
You can play CoC in 3 hours with the faster variant. You play 4 ages instead of 6 and start with 2 settlers. It speeds up the start of the game.

CoC I think the long game is better because you can develop you civilization better but as my friend here said you can use the variant
Pepper in the wrestling talk, is this review custom made for me? enjoy All In on Sunday sir!
Gotta slip it in lol!
Bryan, did you like Mosaic? I know it’s very different but based on why you liked this I’m curious if you would like it.
I was going to ask the same thing!
I love Mosaic! Favorite game of last year.
@@TheLatestRetroBoardGameShow yea I just got the wars and disasters expansion too. Can’t wait to try that!

Fav 4x? Shoutout to Heroes of Land, Air and Sea! Great game, and much shorter than some of the behemoths out there
One of these days I’m gonna play it!
