Most turns follow the same sequence every time. Not here: the order of phases depends on what players choose, and whoever selects a phase opens it to everyone, usually with a bonus for themselves. Every turn becomes a read of your opponents: if I know you will produce, I can choose to sell. It appeals to fans of interactive euros and development games where timing matters.
The average is an hour and three quarters, tables of 2 to 6, recommended age 12 and up. Race for the Galaxy (EDIZIONE INGLESE) and Puerto Rico 1897: Special Edition (EDIZIONE ITALIANA) are the two classics of simultaneous phase selection, one in an hour, the other in two. Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy (EDIZIONE INGLESE) and Twilight Imperium (Quarta Edizione): La Profezia dei Re apply the idea to galactic empires over many hours; La Guerra dell'Anello uses it with action dice.
uplay.it stocks over 230 variable phase order games available now, with titles from Rio Grande Games and Pegasus Spiele, in Italian and other language editions.
