COMPONENTS - Nothing to complain about. It's not as jam-packed with content as the other two in the trilogy, but still feels like a good quality and level of content for its cost. 0:00 - Introduction 0:29 - Virtue Track 1:05 - Quick Turns 1:42 - AI Opponent 2:20 - Build and Combos 2:56 - Worker Placement 3:36 - Final Thoughts
The combo and engine building aspect of this game is GREATLY enhanced by the expansion, specially the workers part. The workers get additional powers when they trigger, so you can really get some very interesting turns.
Nice video, as usual, really like this 5/5 format, works wonderfully. About the game, I like it a lot on 2 player (with the IA) or 3 players (was also OK with 4players but only did that once) This game is more on the teaching side, great for people to discover the worker placement style of game. It is my to go to worker placement for 2 to 4 players just coz it is, so easy to teach and get back in, that turns are quick, which means you don't suffer that much from analysis paralysis, the pacing for me, is great and make this game what it is suppose to do. Being easy to play but not annoying. The interraction is also nice, not too harsh but still there to control and kick a bit your opponant gently. I wish I can try vicount someday, which looks more tactical. As someone said it in the comments, I strongly recommand the age of artisan expansion for architect, this expasion is really great! On a pure solo aspect, I think it is really hard to beat anachrony, especially since fractures of time is out and enhance it such a lot. And I think that those both expansion, are what expansions should be! Not making the game any more complex keeping the earth of it but offering enough to enhance and boost up the game while keeping his soul. And Those age of artisan and fractures of time are doing that perfectly. I won't play both of those games without those expansions anymore! Happy gaming. Cheers
Great comments, thank you! I've only played Anachrony competitively, but I hear great things about the bots. And Architects is certainly PERFECT for introducing worker placement. So fast and straightforward.
Do you ever play those games over your right shoulder? They never change. Are they even real? Or is it like a fake set of books? Do you even play game bro?!

That's great to hear! I've heard really good things about the expansion.
So true!

Hahaha, NEVER! They are just cardboard cutouts masquerading as games.
