Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea

I expected Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea to be a light GMT civ/area-control game. What I found did not justify the paper it occupies.

I came to Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea expecting a light civ/area-control game from GMT.

First contact disposed of that hope quickly: to me, it is Munchkin-grade Ameritrash rubbish, without a meaningful idea and unworthy of the paper it occupies.

  • Review Stupor Mundi

    Stupor Mundi wears the full German-euro uniform and leaves much the same aftertaste: dry, busy, and oddly hard to recall. It is not unpleasant; it simply gives little reason to come back for another serving.

  • Review Rock Hard: 1977

    Rock Hard: 1977 is handsomely produced and reasonably committed to its theme, but beneath the polish sits a bland push-your-luck exercise that leaves chance doing the heavy lifting.

  • Review Stress Botics

    Stress Botics conceals an interesting economic game beneath layers of rules, exceptions, and mechanical clutter. Its hand management deserves attention; nearly everything around it seems determined to punish that attention.
