Rage quitting is not a blight exclusive to FIFA. You need the right sort of people, of course. And it’s about sharing that event with other people. It’s an event that could take you anywhere, from the acquisition of prime West End real estate to the invasion of North America to, oddly enough, the elimination of a deadly pandemic. I say this as someone whose idea of a perfect Friday night is to play six hours of link-up Civilization 6 with Alex Stewart, but a good board game can often transcend a good online game. If it’s true that the worst of the pandemic is behind us (please be true) and that lockdowns are a thing of the past (please be a thing of the past) then we’re going to need board games. It’s a highly competitive two-to-four-player (six with the expansion pack) board game that challenges you to balance tactics, player acquisition, infrastructure development and the feverish compulsion to humiliate and crush your friends.Īs well I might. Because it’s a good board game and good board games are wonderful.
