What is Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization
Through the Ages is a civilization building game. Each player attempts to build the best civilization through careful resource management, discovering new technologies, electing the right leaders, building wonders and maintaining a strong military. Weakness in any area can be exploited by your opponents. The game takes place throughout the ages beginning in the age of antiquity and ending in the modern age.
One of the primary mechanisms in TTA is card drafting. Technologies, wonders, and leaders come into play and become easier to draft the longer they are in play. In order to use a technology you will need enough science to discover it, enough food to create a population to man it and enough resources (ore) to build the building to use it. While balancing the resources needed to advance your technology you also need to build a military. Military is built in the same way as civilian buildings. Players that have a weak military will be preyed upon by other players. There is no map in the game so you cannot lose territory, but players with higher military will steal resources, science, kill leaders, take population or culture. It is very difficult to win with a large military, but it is very easy to lose because of a weak one.
Victory is achieved by the player whose nation has the most culture at the end of the modern age.

Tenía ganas de probarle desde que lo vi jugar en Amorebieta. Es un juego de gestión de recursos y evolución, guiado por cartas. Tiene varios niveles de juego y tienes que tener muchas cosas en cuenta. Cuesta coger la mecánica, pero una vez cogida, es un juego bastante interesante y profundo. No apto para no jugones. En mi tercera partida lo subo de 7->8.5. Es un juegazo. Cuandolo saquen en español, formará parte de mi ludoteca, sin duda.
Juegazo,juegazo, juegazo... Hay quien dice que un poco abstrazto...yo respondo: JUEGAZO
genial este juego, de razón el ranking que tiene, el desarrollo de civilizaciones es único jugado con una variante en solitario que hay colgada en bgg, ideal para aprenderse las reglas, es de los mejores juegos de civilizaciones que existe en el mercado.
Players: 3, 2, 4.
Edición Española de Homoludicus. Todas las cartas enfundadas. 30€
Eurogame duro muy, pero que muy bueno. De esos que crean ap por si solos
Una obra de ingeniería lúdica. Combina muchas mecánicas sin que el juego chirríe ya que hay una buena cantidad de conceptos en él bien integrados: felicidad, corrupción, revoluciones, colonización, conflictos militares, cultura, líderes destacados... Largo. Épico. Debería venir con dos tardes libres incluídas en la caja. Buena mecánica la de acciones civiles/militares (varían en función del tipo de gobierno), la construcción de maravillas (consumen muchos recursos) y la de los pactos entre civilizaciones (para que haya interacción entre ellos). Cada turno es un ejercicio de control y ajuste ec
