Age of Mythology

Quick look by Moritz Eggert

An interesting attempt to create a kind of hybrid between “Puerto Rico” and a fantasy
wargame. In fact it is the mechanics stolen from the latter that really shine in this game, as the
actual battle rules need revision (proven by the myriads of house rules for this game). The
miniatures are cool as always with Eagle Games, but sometimes one gets the impression that the game
wants to be cleverer than it actually is. Player interaction is limited – the players sitting
diagonally in a 4 player game will never have to do something with each other except competing for
victory.
