If you’re tired of the PC civ-builder you might want to take a look, too. The reduced turn times really make the interlocking system: You can see how combos allowing military buildup precede a war, how cost-reducing technologies deployed at the right time allow sudden growth spurts, and how Genghis Khan is still one of the nastiest customers in all of history. A game takes two hours, rather than five. The digital edition really allows the game to shine. You must produce food to feed and grow population, but you employ them in much more abstract occupations-assigning them in broad sweeps to mining, farming, or various cultural pursuits. A smaller population might be preferable one game, where you have access to advanced institutions, while a large one using technologically inferior buildings might be best in another. Likewise, managing your population is much more interesting a conundrum.
Relying on Irrigation, for example, to come up simply can’t be done-the chance to grab it might come and go when it’s not your turn. Each game forces you to deal with what opportunities chance serves you-you can’t have anything like a reliable build order or set strategy. You make hard choices-does my civilization forego riflemen in favor of architecture? Do I choose democracy, or do I choose Bill Gates? Choosing one technology over another is so much more meaningful than in games with a fixed tech tree.

But all analysis aside, this game has something special, and for me it's not just that it resembles Sid Meier's CIV, which I liked and played up till fourth installment and think it's a watershed in gaming, yet do not adore. You can always add some negative - for example I didn't mention that it's in a sense always the same game cause you always see all the cards (unlike let's say Nations). it may well be, with Twilight Struggle, the greatest game ever designed. Biggest + for me is even stronger now - abstracting history while keeping phenomenal historical feel. it is a perfect game because it is a masterful experience every time through. It is still not a perfect game because of mechanics - old flaws (from modern-day gamer's perspective) remain: longevity, downtime, upkeep (although streamlined). This fantastic revamp made great game even better with beautiful artwork and fine tuning to military and some cards.
