That would have been quite amusing if he had warned us about dropping the components for fear of breaking them only to have his 'Dice Tower Judgment' mallet swing & break them all! :-D
I know that Tom mentioned that there wasn't much theme to this game but I really think the teleportation aspect ruins what theme there is. It almost seems like during design or play testing they discovered that a player could be trapped inside a district with no legal moves and just said "eh, players can teleport" instead of figuring out a real way to solve the issue.
Your version has the earth toned resin pieces, but I have seen pictures on BGG with brightly colored plastic pieces. How do I know which version I am buying?
2 players is not great. Its over in like 30 mins and theres way too much room to be competitive. Maybe if you set a boundary like not using regions in power grid
I love it with two because it's much more cutthroat. Amount of space on the board doesn't really matter since you're limited in the number of temples in each half. It gets more competitive in terms of district space with more players, but the sizes of the districts themselves doesn't change with two players and you're still vying to control them. There's also that inherent desire to block your opponent as much as possible.
i would mostly agree, but since it was some cultural reference (which i failed) , i thought it could be ok, and my intent was not aggressive even if it appeared so :(

Loved the original. Glad to see it back in print, and upgraded, no less!
Test drops for components :D. Now that is proper review preparation!

+Shawn Fleury You can use 'secret path' instead of teleport... ;-)
Hello~ how can i buy the new version?
It's that already sale?
Such a pretty game.
I'd probably give the temples a quick wash to differentiate their colors a bit more.

The cover of the box. The old version has a big mask.
No component drop?
Thoughts on 2 Players?

This game, which I own (older version), reminds me of the game Manhattan for some reason.
Super Meeple?
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a.... meeple?
Sorry to correct you man, it's pronounced Meh-SHE-ka
Pronounced Meshika...
I wonder how you pronounce the Biblical names at church...XP
Tom your cheek looks a bit swollen. Have you had some dental work done? (Not that it's any of my business, lol)
That's not how you pronounce "Mexica". The "xi" siunds like "shi".
:( you said mexica wrong, is not like Mexico, more like me-HE-ka,
Daniel Romero I read once that it was based on the original word, said me-SHEE-kah.
None of it matter, though.
true! sorry for my bad correction :P
i know enough about starcraft or wh40k, but my mexican history im a fail lol
Daniel Romero It's too bad people feel the need to correct strangers on the internet.
i would mostly agree, but since it was some cultural reference (which i failed) , i thought it could be ok, and my intent was not aggressive even if it appeared so :(
corrections are improvements that educate people... What were you smoking when you typed that?
Mexica + Russia= fare Ness
