"If you are someone who is looking for a heavy "Eurogame" that has a good historical theme and allows for fairly deep, strategic play, then Alexander the Great is a good option for you. It has a good combination of mechanics and allows for good tactics and bluffing (although long-term strategies may not differ much). I would try it before buying, if possible, but I know that this game will make many people happy. For me, I enjoyed the experience and will gladly play again but only with "die hard gamers", as the casual folk I played the game with were a little overwhelmed."
haha, where's my coffee? when i first saw that, i thought it said "awesome game by philana" and my thought was, isn't that the person who makes puzzles?

The rating is 6.22. Ignore the 5.87.
It's good to see a new publisher with games on Tanga.

Not a bad game or a bad price. If I didn't already have it, I'd get it.
