Age of Mythology Board Game

My kid has enjoyed it very much

Very complicated game but seemed like it would be great for our grandson who's completely taken with Greek mythology. However, it was missing pieces. Seller was very apologetic and money was refunded with no fuss.

Wow! Color me impressed. First (partial) play-through went very well, testing out the subsystems. Much less complex than it appears at first, but certainly not "simple". Production quality is incredible, the subsystems work very well, and I had no problem with the combat (we had three battles, using 5s and 6s, of course, as this is how even Glenn suggests it should be played).Docks a few points because it really needs more reference sheets and the cardstock for the action decks is pretty weak (time to get some sleeves), but other than that my initial opinion is very favorable.A second playthrough holds my opinion...this is a great hybrid, serves its license well (in terms of a civ-building real-time strategy game), is pretty thematic, has screw-your-neighbor and military aspects, different paths to victory...I really dig this game. Heavily underrated.

Age of Mythology is an extremely playable game. It is simple concept with a simple set of rules but an incredible amount of strategic choice.Players play either Egyptian, Greek, or Norse culture, the terrain they face varies due to where they live, as do the creatures that they bring to battle.But while the Mummies face off against Frost Giants and Medusa you must still build a civilization, with homes, sawmills, gold mines and storehouses.The point scoring system where each turn players select which actions generate victory points allows the player to alter strategy game by game and even within a game to score the limited amount of points available.The miniatures are excellent, detailed and durable.With Age of Mythology Eagle Games once and for all cements itself as the successor to the Avalon Hill tradition of quality strategy games with a historical slant that will last for years.

I'm a 10-year old boy in middle school (I'm posting this review with my mom's help). I got this game and I LOVE it. I like strategy games and mythology, so this is great. It's pretty long, but it's fun even if you don't finish.My friend loves it so much that he asks me to play every time I see him.

This game is very easy to learn and the artwork is great. If you liked the PC version, you will love the boardgame. It takes about 2 hours to play one game with 2 people. The only thing that I didn't like was that if you wanted to play with more than 2 players, you will need to buy extra resource cubes.
