They’re generally a pretty helpful bunch (but it’s not FE, of course!).

The first time we played it took four hours to set up, play and pack away (down to under 3 hours the second time, once we were more familiar with the rules). After the Empire

BrBrum is still taking 2p a good 2h here, but I think overall strategy is becoming clearer, after about five efforts (three Canals only). Still prone to make the odd mistake with the rules, though.
StanderClaus Jan 2024 11:58am, 4 Jan 2024 196 posts	0 StanderClaus The player boards for After the Empire are what initially caught my attention. You get to upgrade your wooden castle with stone walls and add wooden and/or stone turrets on the corners. Then having watched a review, I brought it. And glad I did. Relatively simple game with lots of choices to chose on your route to victory. A well balanced combination of worker placement and tower defense with a few nice touches in it. This will get to the table a lot, I hope. But probably only at weekends for now.
