The most Civilization board game (2 more)
There is a ton of complexity that will keep it interesting for a long time
Variation of gameplay style (war, culture, technology, wonders)
The mechanics will likely be too much for most people (1 more)
A handful of the cards are not balanced well
Civilization in Boardgame Form
Do you like the video game Civilization? Then you will absolutely love this board game. Do you not love intense Euro strategy games? Then you will probably hate this game.

This game is very intense. There are a lot of mechanics, and a lot to learn. It follows the basic mechanics of the Civilization video game fairly closely, but even veteran Civ players took a while to learn it.

You also have to be comfortable with the game taking all day. The time estimate on the box is very wrong. Our first game took us three hours, and we only made it through the first age (there are three).

I love that this game is cooperative (0 more)

A friendly jaunt through the world of Harry Potter
This is a cooperative Harry Potter Board game for 1-4 players. A cooperative board game puts all players on the same team against the board with challenges that are randomly generated by a deck of cards in this case. This game is a deckbuilder/ card drafter and each play you build a new deck thoughout the gameplay. This game also has elements similar to a legacy game (a game that has more content that is unlocked after each playthough), however, this game does not require any destruction of parts and can be completely reset. There are 7 boxes, corresponding to the 7 books/ years of Harry Potter. You start at year 1 and after each play through and defeating the villains, the group can choose to move on to the next year, adding the secrets of the next box to your next play through. Each year does get more difficult. I love this game for the theme, the cooperative working together part and the thrill of getting a new experience with each playthough. The only bad aspect of this game I have experienced is that because the random generation of challenges by the board, a scenario can become unbeatable, the good news if that happens, ypu just reset where ypu are, shuffle everything and try again. I really love this game and after writing this review I even increased my rating from 7 to 9, as writing this made me happier about the game.
If you get through year 7, there is an expansion with more boxes to open and work through.

Simple game to learn but challenging enough to not get board (0 more)
Great party game for about 5-7
Deception is a great game for an evening in with friends based around the simple task of discovering the murderer using unique roles. After only 1 explanation of the game we where able to sit and play without any confusion and we had to play a number of games before we could bring ourselves to stop
