i find not wiping someone out completely is worse than wiping them out. At least if you kill them off they can leave. Instead what they tend to have is an empire consisting of 1 or 2 worthless cities that you couldn't have been bothered sending troops to take as they have no commodities. So they are left there netting less than 10 gold a turn meaning it takes several turns to even buy a unit from the current era and giving them next to no hope of getting any of the tech or qualifications to win.

I have rarely ever seen any one knocked outcompletely. Remember it is not your strength on the map that matters it isthe civilisation cards that you purchase. You can always get back in to aposition because the disaster cards will hurt the big guys more. If you wantto speed up play but a strict time limit on commodity trading.Joe_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf OfFernandoSent: 01 December 2007 00:05To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [!! SPAM] Re: [irish gaming] Civilisation Board GameI am not sure if I was already tired when I began to play, but afternine straight hours playing... I do not think the owner of the game everproposed to play again, at least not to me! There might be people thatlike the game, but I suppose that either they knew the rules beforehand(and therefore could play faster) or they need more than one sitting tofinish a game. Like many games that let play many people, some can beout of the game after one or two hours, so they might sabotage the gamejust because they do not see any possible comeback into top position.Maybe I was unfortunate with the game and the players, though. Have youtried "Attack" yet? It looks more maneagable for one afternoon. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:igaming%40yahoogroups.com> .com, Liam óTáilliúir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> > My advice on this game is don't buy it.
