   I’ve really enjoyed playing this game since we got it. The rules aren’t entirely intuitive, and I’d recommend not using the civilisation cards in your first play through so as everyone’s playing by the same rules. It’s a good 2 hours to play a game, but it goes quickly.

   Slightly annoyingly the box isn’t very well designed for storage compartments, so set-up and pack-up take longer than is ideal.

   I’ve enjoyed Civilization games since the original boardgame came out in the early 80s. This is nowhere near as complicated, but you still get a little sense of Civ building by why of tech improvements and adding buildings to your city. My wife enjoys this one too so we play it a lot just the 2 of us. Plenty of replayability with the number of civs, cards, etc. You can always try a different blend/combo of tech advances. We tried it first on Board Game Arena, loved it, bought it. If you’re an avid boardgamer, this is a must for the collection in my opinion. Will probably get the expansions soon 😉

   If you like Settlers of Catan, but want something a little deeper, this is perfect. Once I ordered it on boardgamesweekly.com, I spent the next two days while I waited for it to arrive to watch Tapestry – How to Play tutorials. I probably spent 2-3 hours watching how to play so that when it arrived, there were only a few things I was unsure about. Two of the income mats arrived with a purple ink mark baked into the print, but I contacted Stonemaier Games and they shipped out replacement mats for free. My wife and 10-year old played it the first night, then my wife wanted to play it again the next day. First 3-player game was about 4.5 hours (probably from learning rules as we go), then the 2-player game the next day was only 1.5 hours. You can even play a solo 1 player game or add a shadow empire variant to a 2-player game to make it more interesting. There is even a winner’s log that you can submit your winning civilization and score so that they can continue to improve the game with handicaps, etc. Some Civs are definitely better than others, that’s why they have handicaps included.

   É um jogo que dá prazer jogar, pois só os seus componentes e arte são um regalo aos sentidos. Gostei da mecanica e é um jogo que no fim dá vontade de voltar a jogar e descobrir o que mais se pode fazer.

   This game is amazing because there are so many ways to win and so many different strategies. There even is a one player option. However this game is diffiualt to learn and takes a very long time to play. But because of that, it never gets overused. It is an amazing game.

   This is a great engine building civilization board game in which you guide a civilization through time advancing your technology, expanding your territory, and expanding your ability to generate resources. It is relatively easy to learn for this genre of game and can be played in 2-3 hours. The components are of great quality like all Stonemaier games and the fully painted miniature buildings really add to the atmosphere of the game. Overall, it is a very fun game that can be learned quickly but has an immense amount of depth.
