The 4x video game experience now comes to the table! This massive war game plus Euro has all of the X’s (e.g. exploit) while piloting historical European powers like Castille. Players can use action points do perform actions, and also launch military campaigns which are resolved by dice roll. You can hand management your generals, and even develop your own provinces! How many ages will you play in your run of this? Will you lean harder into military or exploring the new world? How long will this Aegir's Games game actually take for you, since it makes other grand board games like Ti4 and Sid Meier’s Civilization 2010 feel like entry level experiences?
Other games mentioned: Cuba Libre, John Company 2nd Edition, Europa Univeralis 4
