April 13, 2006Mesopotamia Reviewby Susan Rozmiarek I've posted a long overdue review of Mesopotamia, a game by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede and published by Mayafair and Phalanx Games.
"Players control nomadic tribes in ancient Mesopotamia, exploring, settling and building holy places. The game is essentially a race to fulfill certain victory conditions that uses exploration, resource management and pick-up and delivery mechanisms. " For some reason, I thought this was going to be a heavier game than it turned out to be. Phalanx "big box" games give me that impression even though I haven't actually played many of them. I'd classify Mesopotamia as on the lighter side of middleweight making it a good choice for both my game group and my family. I liked it a lot although some gamers are going to gripe about the luck elements. Posted by Susan Rozmiarek at April 13, 2006 8:18 PMComments
Thanks for the review, Susan. One of my game group just got this but we haven't played yet so this was a good, quick way to know what I have to look forward to. It sounds like the kind of game I enjoy. Posted by: Mary on April 14, 2006 9:37 AMPost a comment
