History of the World by ZMan Games

[djensen]

My usual gaming group only plays Axis & Allies once or twice a year so the rest of the time we’re playing other games. The first game we played today was History of the World by Zman. It’s a light-moderate war game with similarities to Risk and Small world. It’s played in 6 Epochs and each Epoch you pick a new civilization card (essentially territories) and a new event card (special abilities or more territories). It supports 6 players but is a lot faster with 4-5. If you ignore AP (analysis paralysis), it plays fairly quickly.

Anybody else played this game?

@djensen I’m fairly certain that’s a remake of the original History of the World: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224/history-world

@redrum Sounds about right. I’ve never played the original though.
