Dillon Jacoby-Rankin (202 KP) rated Sid Meier's Civilization: A New Dawn in Tabletop Games
Jan 18, 2020
Ages: 14+
Play Time: 60-120 minutes :(
Components: The game is very nice and the board is good quality as well as the cards. The pieces are all cardboard and plastic and the colors are very nice.
Simple Turns: Easy to take turns. Easy to learn and play. Harder to strategize. You can only pick between 5 options on your turn, but depending on where they are in the line up changes everything. For example, if something is at the end of the line up, it is much more useful then being at the beginning of the line up. Everytime you use a card/action, the line up will shift down. Essentially you want to always use cards further in the line up to keep the line moving but you also need to use the right cards at the right time for your specific strategy.
Strategy: I've oh played this once but I found it hard to make a plan that would work well for me. Maybe experience would make it easier which brings me to my next topic.
Hard to get to the table: Just hearing the title makes my friends turn and run. They know the name associated with the game and that it can be a lot. Big time frame and lots of strategy. I find it hard with everyone's schedule and preferences to actually play this game. Which is why I've played it once.
Play Time: I've played a two player game and that was my only game I've played. We spent longer on the set up than actually playing. We couldn't figure out which way the board was supposed to fit together. Granted you can build it however you want really but the rules said to use that layout for the first game to make it the easiest setup. Anyways we ended the game early when other friends showed up to play something else but we could tell from where we were at and the goals we needed to achieve that it was going to be a much longer game than we had intended for the day and that was just two players.

At first when the rules were explained I got a little confused, but you soon get the hang of it when actually playing. Its a highly entertaining strategy based game with a unique board that gets very competitive and frustrating when people keep preventing you from reaching your items! It's even fun as a team based game, and it actually potentially helps to discuss strategy with a team member rather than play on your own. The only criticism I have of this is that some of the artwork and graphics are a little basic and not as good as you would expect.
I would definitely recommend playing this game, although maybe not after sitting out in the sun all day with some alcoholic beverages - you need to be fairly alert and on the ball to play this!
