Review: Wonderful game .... But will take some time to learn - This game has so much theme. There's 2 pages in the rulebook about how each Nation will approach the game. This version has easier nations than the "legends" version. I'd recommend watching YouTube videos to learn it. Once you get the hang it plays quite quickly but there's lots of keywords like "breakthrough" to learn. I do like the solo mode. It has tables in the solo rulebook to follow to decide how it plays. This depends on which card has been played by the solo bot. As far as value for money, this game must be one of the best. It's relatively cheap and can be played with so much variation. I've mainly played with the Romans but today have tried the Carthaginians
Review: One of the best Deckbuilder games - This is one of the best and most varied deck builder games I've played. However, it does have a major flaw, the manual; the rule book isn't really clear enough, and it takes a while to work through it. Though once you get past that, it is an excellent game. It also has a rather excellent solo mode, it could have done with flip cards for the opponents effects rather than having to refer to the manual. Artwork is cool and evocative. Component quality is ok, the cards seem pretty durable though I've got some warping. Counters are a bit lack lustre but they do their job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful game .... But will take some time to learn
*by A***R on 31 August 2024*

This game has so much theme. There's 2 pages in the rulebook about how each Nation will approach the game. This version has easier nations than the "legends" version. I'd recommend watching YouTube videos to learn it. Once you get the hang it plays quite quickly but there's lots of keywords like "breakthrough" to learn. I do like the solo mode. It has tables in the solo rulebook to follow to decide how it plays. This depends on which card has been played by the solo bot. As far as value for money, this game must be one of the best. It's relatively cheap and can be played with so much variation. I've mainly played with the Romans but today have tried the Carthaginians

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best Deckbuilder games
*by A***R on 18 April 2022*

This is one of the best and most varied deck builder games I've played. However, it does have a major flaw, the manual; the rule book isn't really clear enough, and it takes a while to work through it. Though once you get past that, it is an excellent game. It also has a rather excellent solo mode, it could have done with flip cards for the opponents effects rather than having to refer to the manual. Artwork is cool and evocative. Component quality is ok, the cards seem pretty durable though I've got some warping. Counters are a bit lack lustre but they do their job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a great game.
*by D***B on 3 July 2023*

I was not sure about this after reading it was hard to learn and the rulebook was badly written. However this turns out to be true but once I got into it I could not stop playing it. Loads of replayability with so many different empires to play and determine how to best use the cards. Art is great too. Solo play works very well too.
