Review: Excellent! - A superb game and a great way to learn about and if you want to, change history!
Review: Classic game, if you have the players and the time. - It's one of the best games ever. You need a whole day (7+ hours) to play it, but the game starts easy (expanding but not meeting others) and slowly develops. By the time you are exposed to all of it, you have got the hang of the basics, so even a new player can win. Lots of chances to catch up if you are losing. You can replay it from time to time, so it becomes value for money. Also takes 7 players, which many games can't cope with.
