An 89 score from 265 devoted raters — the math of a game with a real following. Slow-burn strategy: historical, 4x (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate), tough calls, and the sweet pain of one more turn. One player, no compromises. This was built for the solo run. From 1991, back when games shipped finished.
