1P 322 - Age of Civilization

Saturday Dec 09, 2023
This week's episode, I talk about a small game called Age of Civilization, in which you can play through the rise and fall of empires in about 30 minutes. It's a fun little worker placement game with lots of choices and lots of variability. The entire show collapses at the end when my headphones run out of battery.

1P 274 - Fields of Arle

Julius and I are back with a look at Uwe Rosenberg's Field's of Arle. It's a lovely game in which you get to relive the lives of Mr. Rosenberg's ancestors, well, more or less. It's at least a look at what life might have been like in the province of Arle, in Germany in the 18th century (as a worker placement game).

This week I teach Julius about the game Coldwater Crown. This is a game in which you are competing in a fishing tournament to get the most trophy points. Like a modern dance competition, there are trophies available for just about anything you do. Come hear what someone that doesn't like fishing think about this game.

This week I tell Julius about the bag building, worker placement game Groves. It's an interesting little game with just fantastic art by an independent publisher, Letiman Games. Check it out. There's stuff to like and stuff not to like about this game. Oh drat, I just realized this is out of print.
