My friend Evan and I also created a Eurogame that we can actually play to completion in under an hour. \u00a0We probably didn’t invent the idea, but I’m not personally aware of any eurogames where you can play through setup. \u00a0This “play through setup” idea does 2 things. \u00a0It allows strategic decision making while setting up the game, and it allows for a very simple walkthough of the actions that are available and what they do.<\/p>\n

I’ve posted some pictures of this game setup on Instagram. \u00a0Basically, players select a race with some unique abilities and they try to select actions that will benefit them each turn. \u00a0There are Magi units and melee units. \u00a0Magi units can use the only resource in the game to blow up enemies, summon more troops, or cast spells on adjacent enemies. \u00a0Because each person only gets one action and one movement each turn, it keeps the game moving pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned. \u00a0This one would be released AFTER we launch Argilkin: Worldbuilders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More Age of the Magi playtesting. Added terrain types and started developing unique racial powers. Still solid with 2 players. #boardgames #tabletopgames #tabletop #eurogames<\/a><\/p>\n
