What is Nations

From the humble beginnings of civilization through the historical ages of progress, mankind has lived, fought, and built together in nations. Great nations protect and provide for their own, while fighting and competing against both other nations and nature itself. Nations must provide food and stability as the population increases. They must build a productive economy. And all the while, they must amaze the world with their great achievements to build up their heritage as the greatest nations in the history of mankind!

Nations is an intense historical board game for 1–5 players that takes 40 minutes per player to play. Players control the fate of nations from their humble start in prehistoric times until the beginning of World War I. The nations constantly compete against each other and must balance immediate needs, long-term growth, threats, and opportunities.

Una pasada de juego, para los amantes de la microgestión, recursos, y apurar puntos de victoria buscando las mejores vías posibles, y siempre con tensión de ir teniendo los recursos justos. Único punto negativo: la caja GIGANTE, sobra aire de forma exagerada! Me gusta bastante más que el TTA, empezando por la duración, consigue unas sensaciones muy parecidas, y no tienes la sensación de que alguna carta como líder o maravilla, ha descompensado totalmente el juego por estar muy OP y no hablemos de lo exagerado del TTA del militar y que te salga o no cierta carta de guerra que también puede esta

Tengo la impresion de que Nations no es dificil de jugar, pero muy dificil de dominar. Sin duda, es un buen juego. Sin embargo, puede resultar implacable, y a veces hasta frustrante. Hasta ahora, mi experiencia con el juego han sido partidas a 2 jugadores, y, en esas partidas, el jugador que se descuelga, lo hizo de forma temprana y definitiva, creandose una brecha imposible de recuperar contra el jugador dominante. Entonces, la partida del segundo jugador se convierte en un suplicio. Esta percepcion del juego a 2 jugadores parece confirmarse con los comentarios de otros jugadores en BGG.
