I have too long in this game, and I know to some I have very little time. it is hopelessly painful at times and the only great bit is the starting of civilisations. addicting but painfully so. Just one more turn...

Really fun game, like catan, risk, and city skylines all in one. Lots of fun to play with friends, game is very in depth and hard but rewarding to learn. The skill curve is never ending.
