Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea

I was eagerly expecting a light civ-area-control game from GMT. Instead, my first encounter was so disappointing that I can find no reason to give it a second look.

The first game of the evening was Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea, and I came in ready to love it. GMT, with the promise of something light between a civilization game and area control? That sounds exactly like the kind of game I want to put on the table.

Except that promise gave me absolutely nothing. Where I expected a light civ-area-control game with some meaning, I found an ameritrash piece of garbage on Munchkin’s level: no substance and no reason to exist.

For me, it is not even worth the quality of the paper it was printed on. STUSFURNUS.

  • Arcs

    Arcs got a second chance with the advanced rules, asymmetric alien factions, and powers—and, to my surprise, it was genuinely better this time. It still did not solve my central complaint: the table carries the burden of balance, not the game itself.

    Stupor Mundi is a euro packed with cards, cubes, and assorted bits that, for me, ends up overly dry and painfully forgettable. I did not have a bad time, but it is an easy pass.

    A well-produced, properly thematic package hiding an exceedingly bland game of luck. One play may get some laughs; a second is hard to imagine.
