One of my favourite board games of all time, a PC adaptation was made years ago. Recently I saw what I assumed to be a huge update for it on store shelves, and got excited that the original PC game would be getting a graphical overhaul, and I quivered in anticipation of new content.
Good thing I checked it out first. The original board game is nowhere to be found in this game! It's primarily an RTS. There is a board game in it, but you can't customize the rules, and they've added all sorts of ridiculous shit, not just the stuff in the actual game expansions. I barely recognize it at all.
Goddamn. I have to track down a copy of the old PC game...even though I remember it being pretty awful. At least it was a faithful translation of this fantastic board game.
Sleeve- I saw your old closed thread on this game. I share your enthusiasm for it. My friends and I have learned numerous other strategy games of lesser and greater difficulty, but this has always been my favourite. It's just complex enough to be thought-provoking without being a chore. Maybe if I find an old copy we could have ourselves a game.
