Here is a unique, highly interactive game with innovative mechanics. It is endowed with endless replayability and is thorougly entertaining every time I play it. A brilliant euro! The remake, with its massive map and components was a disappointment as it will hardly fit any but the largest of tables. The original will never leave my collection, however.
5/4/2016 Very abstract game with some set collection and area control. Low scoring, many options to feel competitive, and unique implementation of "slavery" where slave cards bring cheap, easy rewards but can be abolished which punishes everyone for investing into it. 5/29/2018 Bumping up from 8 to a 10. A decade later and this design still holds up. I adore this game and always want to play it, and I'm glad there's a Kickstarter bringing it back in print so everyone can play it.
Great game that attempts to mimic the early era of European colonization around the globe. Great limited "fighting" mechanism. Wonderful "slavery" mechanic. You may benefit but beware if you slave and the others abolish slavery. You will suffer. Always fun. Just so many darn small pieces to set up. Beward losing any of them. Has a cool 2-player variant with a Neutral Power, that plays different from the 3-5 player. Best with 4-5.
The ideal combination - simple mechanics, complex strategy. I like games with a well integrated theme but even though the theme is very thin here - there's enough theme to make the game not completely abstract. Really great game - easy to teach and to play. Plays surprisingly quickly for a game of this type.
