Asmodee Sid Meier's Civilization: A New Dawn Board Game - Rewrite History Your Way! Strategy Game for Kids & Adults , Ages 14+, 2-4 Players, 1-2 Hour Playtime

Absolutely fantastic! It really delivers that classic civilization video game experience in the format of a board game. Obviously, there have to be major differences to allow this format change but it capture's the games essence very well. Like the video game, it's complex with endless choices and possibilities, yet also streamlined and very easy to play after the first play-through/learning game. Pros: - Very fun, games typically take around 2-3 hours which is not too long, but long enough to feel like the world/game actually evolves - Captures the video game's essence very well - Endless choices and possibilities - Map creation element generates countless random maps for a different setup every game - Turns can happen fairly rapidly, so you don't need to sit around waiting for other players too long Cons: - Tons of pieces/tokens and the box doesn't come with anything to store them and keep them separated - Setup takes quite a while (at least 15 minutes) - Wish the game supported up to 6 people (hopefully there will be expansions!) - Wish there were more victory scenario options - Rule-book is a little more complex than it needed to be

My son is a huge Civilization video game fan, and saved his own money to purchase this game. The pieces are durable, similar quality you would expect from an Arkham Horror or Twilight Imperium. My son did the setup and read the rules on his own and found the game to be easily playable even as it is more complex in its dynamics than a more conventional board game (Like Monopoly).

If you love the computer version, then this game will be a lot of fun. There are a lot of rules and setting up takes time. Games will take a long time to play. But games are very engaging and fun once you learn the rules. There are a lot of strategies. Each civ has a special bonus like in the computer version. So each civ offers a unique play style. The game has wonders, techs, city-states, that you will recognize from the computer version. The game also uses modular map pieces that allow you to create random maps by assembling different pieces like a puzzle. This offers a lot of replayability. The two big weaknesses in the game are the lack of any real military play. There are no military units. You just roll the dices to "attack" a tile. I wish the game had military units. The other weakness is the lack of containers for all the tokens. There are a lot of different tokens and once you remove them, they will be loose in the box. I recommend getting some small ziplock bags to put all the tokens in. It will really help you organize everything nicely.

Very involved, steep learning curve, all the pieces! Many things to keep in mind while playing, many ways to win, never the same game twice, very versatile game board, many different leaders and wonders that give handicaps or benefits that change even more aspects. All of these features mean you have to keep in mind a lot of details and make this game something you'll play with the same people over and over, it's not a quick board game for a party. They did a fairly good job of keeping a lot of classic civilization functions in a board game format. Good quality materials, pieces function well, but you may want to purchase a lot of little zip lock bags or some sort of organizer to help with game set up. There is one red wonder that seems to put the win in the bag for the player who gets it first. This one allows any card's action to be played a second time if you originally played it in the fifth slot - this basically means you play twice every turn if you set it up right and gives a major advantage that does seem unevenly overpowered compared to other wonders. No regrets in buying this though.

We’ve played this a number of times and it’s always fun. My partner likes generic strategy games like Azul and Splendor. I like more niche or complex strategy games. But we both love this one! It’s nice that there are multiple possible routes to victory, and we typically avoid head-to-head combat in favor of the victory conditions for building wonders, making scientific advancement, etc. The game feels balanced regardless of your preferred strategy. We have had one game last ~30 minutes, but most have been 2-3 hours (granted we tend to be slow at most games). We’ve only played with 2 players, but I imagine a four-person game brings a whole other dynamic. I’ve never played the Civ games on PC, so I’m reviewing purely its quality as a board game, and it is darn good.

Ponía que era de segunda mano, pero lo único que tenía de segunda mano era que le habían quitado era el envoltorio. Todo sin tocar. Juego muy difícil de conseguir y al final lo encontré a precio increíble.

I love this game, it gives a really cool civilization feel, totally recommend it! Much better than tapestry.

Non fate come me, che preso dall'enfasi di un nuovo gioco Civilization ho proceduto questa volta all'acquisto senza informarmi o leggere recensioni, memore di quanto mi fossero piaciuti i precedenti. Le possibilità di scelta sono notevolmente inferiori rispetto ai suoi predecessori e si ha la netta sensazione di aver fra le mani un prodotto incompleto che non aspetta altro che mungere il nostro portafoglio con future espansioni. Le civiltà sono poche, la nuova meccanica di scelta sul come progredire la nostra civiltà è orribile, carina la componentistica e la meccanica di gestione dei barbari ma nulla di più. Sembra più un boardgame introduttivo. Non si sente minimamente il senso di progresso e credo che ciò la dica tutta. Una grande occasione mancata.

Good game. We all enjoyed playing.

Llegó a tiempo, pero tiene un golpe en la parte de atrás, no sé si sea de proveedor o por el transporte:( No me gusta que venga así porque es para un regalo importante
