$Lens and Veil | EP #18: Civolution 🎙️Welcome to the Lens and Veil podcast, join Shem, Sam and Zach as they discuss games theyve played together, specifically focusing on game design elements. In this episode they discuss Civolution by Stefan Feld. Civolution is a heavy euro-style sandbox game that uses a dice selection mechanism to trigger actions on a tech tree-like structure. The game has many strategies and paths to victory.
