One thing I can unreservedly say about this game that is better than Princes of Florence is the inherent coolness of the theme and the components. Apart from Agricola, it’s been a while since we last played a good solid Euro game. The past month has been mostly filled with children’s games, party games and […]
The game uses 3D models to depict the world but switches to 2D comics whenever there is dialogue. I’m not a regular reader of Penny Arcade. The comics are too hit and miss for me and I often don’t get many of the things they reference. But whenever someone cross posts a strip to QT3, […]

Following our victory over the Guangxi Clique, we leave behind a sizable garrison both to guard the three new ports that we now control and the southern border with French-controlled Indochina. The remaining forces are sent to the north. The time has come for us to take the offensive against the Japanese. Confident of our […]
The art for each of the aliens is the usual Fantasy Flight awesomeness, especially since there are so many races, but feel a little out place given the game’s actual rules. I wanted to play this one because it’s an old classic that I’d heard a lot about, especially since it was cited by Richard […]
