Osprey Games Imperium - Classics

Product Information

The Imperium game system is shaping up to be one of my top finds of 2021… I’ve reached 11 plays in just over 3 weeks, even with each play taking 60 minutes plus. I find myself wanting to jump into another game as I’ve been trying to write this review – because, as much as I enjoy writing for the Opinionated Gamers, I love playing a really good game. (Plus, I need to figure what tactical errors I made with the Greeks the last time I played… a pitiful showing.) Legyél te a legnagyobb civilizáció, amelyet a világ valaha látott! A te kezedben van a történelem egyik leghíresebb népének sorsa. Állandó támadásveszélyben új földek meghódítására kényszerülsz, felügyelned kell a tudomány és kultúra drámai fejlődését, és népedet a birodalom korszakába kell vezetned. Ha túl gyorsan terjeszkedsz, a nyugtalanság térdre... Ne riasszon el senkit, de érdemes felkészülni, hogy az első alkalom nem kevés idő- és energiabefektetéssel jár (szerintem a szabálymagyarázat is hozzájárul ehhez), viszont a 3. alkalommal már 2 óra körüli játékidővel számolhatunk 2 fővel. Igazából ennél többen nem is szívesen játszanám, viszont nálunk órásit futott! Így történt meg, hogy a Classics után a Legends is egy héten belül a polcra került. Számomra eléggé zavaró módon az egyik magyar a másik angol nyelven, mivel hiába egyszerre jött ki a két játék, a Legends csak magyar siker esetén kerülhet lefordításra. A két doboz civilizációi kombinálhatóak, ezért is zavar ennyire a kétnyelvűség.

Don’t worry – I’ll explain the keyword lingo (aka “break through”) in just a minute… suffice it to say that a breakthrough is the least problematic way to get a card from the marketMy only complaints about solo play? Putting the charts for resolving the AI behavior in the rulebook rather than providing them as large cards. Thankfully, a BGG user (props to DocZagreus!) has taken it upon themselves to fix this problem and posted files that do just that. The other issue is that the Qin charts needed to be changed – and the files I just linked to have the changes needed! Those Pesky Questions Everyone Asks Uncivilized cards – a rich variety of cards with powers that (mostly) work at any point in your growth Ez jó hír, itthon a feleségemnél a nagyon konfrontatív adok-kapok játékok nem mennek, így a Radlands nem is érdekel, ez viszont igen. Köszönöm!

Alan How: I’ve only played half a dozen times and several times I’ve had to re-learn the terminology as Mark says. There’s a lot going on and you have great choices to make each time you play, while the different civs require you to concentrate on different aspects of play. I’d agree with Mark on timings which match my experience.While this sounds a bit dry, the main draw of Imperium Classics is the constant drip-feed of flavour your civilisation provides. Na, sikerült ebben a viszonylag jó gémklubos akcióban beszerezni, és már ismerkedünk is. Köszi az ajánlót! This is a fancy name for victory points – but it’s important to note that some civilizations have development cards that cost Progress OK, almost – there is literally ONE Region card that is a duplicate in resources and powers… but it has a different name & different art. The one thing that gives me pause is that the designers have already had to make a major change to the rules (free-play cards can only be used once per turn) due to game-breaking issues found by players. That doesn’t say great things about the playtesting process.

In most cases, your turn will use three actions to play three cards from your hand. Some cards – all regions and some others - will stay in front of you to form a tableau, and some of those can be exhausted (tapped) each turn for an additional effect. Other cards you will play for an effect and discard, while some might be removed after a single play, either to your history, where they will stay until game end scoring or to exile where they are generally off to the box lid for the rest of the game. Imperium is great. I think that’s the best way to sum it up. I love games that delve into history but do away with the stuffy bean-counting that you often get with games of their ilk. Imperium keeps the complexity but moves it out of its core mechanics and places it within the asymmetry of each faction that you’re free to explore when you’re ready. I would very, very, very much recommend watching the video above by JonGetsGames to understand how turns work and what you’re meant to be doing each go. Learning by seeing is very important when it comes to Imperium and it’s especially so when you’ve got to account for how what you do interacts with the game space and other players on occasion. Some cards are marked with Barbarian or Empire symbols, which tell you that they can only be played while your civilization is in that mode. While we feel the Scythians are a fairly straightforward civilisation to play (difficulty rating 2 out of 5), their nomadic tendencies mean you need a slightly different approach than you might take with the more settled civilisations in Imperium: Classics.Likewise, Imperium Classics puts you on this same treadmill. Where no matter the time, or whatever priorities are going on. You’ll find yourself saying: one more turn. A történelemórákon már megismerhettük, mi lett Karthágó vagy a kelták sorsa, miután tengelyt akasztott a rómaiakkal, de hogyan állnák a sarat a szkíták a perzsákkal szemben, illetve hogyan vetné vissza a görög városállamok fejlődését a vikingek állandó fosztogatása? A "what if..." teóriákat élesben is tesztelhetjük az Impérium: Ókori birodalmakkal, amelyben 8 nemzet egyikeként kezdhetünk virágzásba barbár államból birodalommá fejlődve. Aki szereti a történelmet, a pakliépítős mechanizmust, és sokszor úgy ülne le társasozni, hogy nincs hozzá társasága, az lehet, hogy hozzám hasonlóan az egyik kedvenc játékát fedezheti fel ebben a sorozatban. It felt alot like playing Civilization 5 (the video game) where you can foresee upgrades and improvements coming. So, instead of going to sleep at a normal time you end up on this treadmill of goal setting, planning, and achieving. For that reason, I’ve only played Civ 5 once, but I played for 8 hours straight. The short answer is yes. The long answer is one that will take a little bit of explaining. Mechanically, Imperium is sound and after one game you’ll basically have all the knowledge you’ll need to jump into a new civilisation every time you sit down to play. Dan Blum: I’ve only played once so I don’t have a lot to say about the game – it’s definitely not a game you’re going to “get” on the first play. However, it’s certainly interesting and I would like to play again.
