Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery
I had my first playing of this new game today. It was billed as a somewhat meaty game with game mechanics from Struggle of Empires, Caylus, & Puerto Rico. But it didn't really combine those mechanics into something more interesting than the sum of the parts. I think that this is what gave me a negative impression during my play. I kept thinking fondly on those other games and wanting to be playing them instead.
Also, it was quite long for what it was and it took us 3 hours to play the game after the rules were explained.
I kinda like it. It is not Caylus or Puerto Rico, but not bad. And it should only take 2 hours at most if everyone knows the game.
