your dynasty to develop and control the most vibrant culture in the rich
land between the two rivers.
Create the best balance between markets,
temples, settlements, and farms. Forge your own new civilization and dominate the
rich valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates.

Coldfoot (5 out of 5)
Now this is a GAME. Tile laying games don't usually appeal to me. Abstract games in general don't usually appeal to me. But this, this...this is a great game.
Players (ostensibly) control leaders in a blossoming civilization. If a tile is placed in a kingdom containing a leader of the same color, the owner of said leader scores a point. As kingdoms merge conflict occurs between leaders of the same color. Conflicts are fought with tiles. The winner of a conflict scores more points. Monuments can be built. If, at the end of your turn, you have a leader in a kingdom with a monument, you score a point for it if it is of the same color.
If the game has one flaw it is that conflicts can be t

I've criticized games in reviews for being too abstract with a stuck-on theme, and for being too prone to over-analysis rather than relying on gut feelings or facts at hand. Those are criticisms that have been lobbied against Tigris & Euphrates, too. Yet I'll rate this one 4 stars...hedging a bit toward 5. Why? Games are funny things--sometimes they just work for you, and you like them. I like T&E.
Part of it may be that I happen to like rule booklets that give you headaches. This game rewards the rule-police. The quicker you learn what you can do and how to do it, the better you will be. And these rules do not necessarily make sense at face value (well, blue tiles can only go on rivers..

Abstract Empires. At least, that's what I would have named this game. Some have stated that this game is chess-like. They are right. This game is a game of high strategy, not too much luck, many compicated rules (at least, compared to most German games), and most tellingly, it is a game of Renier Knizia. (Some of you are now drooling, others are gagging...)
For those of you who know little of 'German' games, Renier Knizia tends to elicit a lot of emotion from the gaming community. You either like his stuff a lot, or dislike it a lot. I am one of the only people I know who actually can't make up his mind. I love Through The Desert and think it is one of the best games ever made--but it is
