    This is really fun game and highly recommended
    Conquering worlds one dice roll at a time. This is really fun game and highly recommended. There is a small learning curve for novice gamers but, they tend to catch on within a game or two. Setup is a little fiddly as there are quite a few components, but not the worst game for this by far. I wish the box had a better organization and storage, but you can always buy that if you have to have it. I ended up using some small plastic containers to keep the dice, victory points, and meeples organized and separated.
