Can't wait for the console version.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

No collectible cards?
Hard pass.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I expect to get it played either this week or in a couple of weeks. It's a very piece-heavy game, to say the least.

A gaming buddy picked it up. I am a bit reluctant to try it, so would appreciate your review post play.

Looking at the images at https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/254127/europa-universalis-price-power it seems like setting this up takes longer than most EU4 MP groups last. :P

So very similar to the original EU boardgame  :lol:

Naw, setup is fairly straightforward. Each player places the pieces on their setup cards and you have to construct a community event deck and tech deck. It's the gameplay itself that might be more of a slog if you have literally anyone with AP, as the game is very, very sandboxy.

Sandboxy, that's disappointing. I'll stick with HIS/VQ then.

Not sure what you guys were expecting. EU hasn't attempted to be a simulation since EU2.

Yeah but from boardgames I am looking for narrative, not worker placement.

It's not worker placement. You should probably look at the game.

So I got the minis for The Thing: The Boardgame (might be fun to paint), and I also got the boardgame (my gaming group might actually play this), but as I unboxed the stuff there was a huge WTF moment. There's no Childs in the game! One of the most important characters, not there! And ergo no Childs model. Googling suggests that he's locked away in stretch goals or something. Awesome choice there! :rolleyes:
