CHARIOT LORDS Game Rating Commentary

"Vasey has married fun game play with the sweep of empires over 900 years to produce a first rate gaming experience. Something like Civilization in it's scope and appeal; CL is also very replayable given the fluid strategic possibilities and the number of choices that players are forced to make during the course of a game. Highly recommended."

"Takes the best concepts from Britainnia and made a better game. Random turn order will really add a lot of replay value to this one."

"Beautiful components, mounted map- AH style, thick counters, short and clear rules. Easy combat, easy movement. Lots of surprises because of the chit pull mechanic used. 6 hours of fun, each session!"

"A must have for every Britannia fan. Not so sure how other multiplayer gamers would like it: The rules are a bit on the complex side."

"If the rules were better organized, this game would get a top rating. Even veterans of BRITANNIA, which utilizes a similar system, had trouble trying to keep track of who could do what. The game is NOT unplayable, just much harder to play than it should be. Capabilities and objectives of various factions are often scattered throughout the rulebook instead of being put together in one spot. Having said that, once you figure out what's going on, you'll enjoy the hell out of it. It has most of the good things of BRIT. without its drawbacks. Each of the four players has a lot o interesting decisions to make and the variable order makes sure that every game will be different. Its a little longer than BRITANNIA but more worth the time."

"A fun game, but a bit dense in the rules-writing department. It took us a while to muddle through things, but the payoff was worth it. A fun game!"

"Substandard development and production standards mar an otherwise fine design from Charles Vasey. Sure, this game is pretty to look at, but it is way too difficult to get into, and I get the overwhelming impression that CoA dropped the ball here. I would have rather seen the game issued as a dtp direct from the designer."

"The most multi player fun I have had in a long time...."

"A very enjoyable game ala Britannia. Rules are not particularlly well put together, which makes answering questions during play difficult, odd for such a simple game. Victory conditions seem well thought out as well as interesting. Although we only played once it looks like it may have quite a lot of variety to it. Looking forward to playing it again."
