Board Games with Scott 012 - Antike

Board Games with Scott 012 - Antike
Board Games with Scott is a weekly show where Scott Nicholson takes a board game, describe it, and lightly reviews it. This week's show is Antike, which is a relatively short (under 2 hours) empire building game about growing your empire, building troops, developing technologies, and then crushing your enemies!

Also, all episodes after 014 are over at http://boardgameswithscott.com and are not on YouTube.

Major audio problems from 3:57 to 5:48 where the voice volume drops and there is this constant thump thump. Very distracting.

[snicholson]

Yup, that's my heart. My heart goes out to you!

[ExaltedLeader]

Damn. He's got a lot of missing teeth.

[snicholson]

Really? Could have fooled me. Now, many of them have fillings or crowns, but they are there.

[DonGenarosDog]

Yes. You see, "orient" is a latin word meaning "the east." As opposed to "occidental" meaning "the west." The Romans considered what we call "the middle east," as simply "the east," because, you see, that's how they saw their world. They may have been aware of China, or lands further beyond, but they weren't very important. Scott is simply applying the term the way the ancients used it, because, you see, it's a game set in the ancient times.

[Charrister]

I guess in this instance you did though!! :s

[Charrister]

I realize its a bit late to criticize as you are no longer doing these reviews anymore but I wish you could have always given alternitives to the games you are reviewing or similar, recommendations. Always enjoyed your reviews though, they shall be missed.

[Maximara]

You really have too much time don't you?

[TraderRet]

Poor little baby. I hope you are feeling better.

[cliffburton333]

oh. well then.

[cliffburton333]

the orient!?!!!?!

[Endgegner3000]

they just can't fight against each other! the temple is fixed on the city, you cant remove the temple without destroing the city. this would cost at least 5 troops at this situation.
