Brazil: Imperial

Excellent area control, tight resource management that requires a good strategy. Very well done thematic implementation and perfect historical context. It's the type of game that keeps you from reading the manual until the end of the game. Game is a masterpiece. It has beautiful art and historical richness that is very well implemented in the product as a whole. I liked the versatile, non-punishing mechanics with lots of options. It's fun and enjoyable to play. The iconography is clever. The components are of high quality with insert, thick wooden tokens (I think there should be more in the box), detailed manual and beautifully illustrated booklet

I evaluate a game by the satisfaction and pleasure of playing it, by the theme and by its immersion in the theme. The theme of this game couldn't be better. It portrays a period of human history, whether you like it or not. The designer did not run away to mild and childish themes, very common nowadays, which aim not to displease people sensitive to human history. Its mechanics are not the most innovative, but they are fully embedded in the theme and, most importantly, the game is a delight to play! The Automato is also great!

? Wonderful game! Fun, entertaining, something in our collection we didn't know was missing. Go and expand and conquer! Sort of a race, yes, sometimes the game ends before you get to fully expand your empire, but it's so engaging you just want to keep playing it again and again. Would love to have more variety for cards, specially paintings, though.

Wonderful! The beauty of the assembled game is a show in itself and gives off a very pleasant vibe to play (and to want to play again). Must be played with players that enjoy intrigue, as players that likes more eurogames and don't enjoy intrigues, will tend to play without using the war mechanic, which ends up canceling out a series of the game mechanics that were created based on war/domination of enemy structures etc... and if that happens, it will turn the game "not so funny". Furthermore, if played correctly and with good use of wars, it becomes an addictive game!

Very close to Scythe in feeling but has some very interesting twists that I enjoyed. Seems like a mix between Terra Mystica and Scythe. I had a blast playing it several times.
