In this second article of the series, we examine the 103 event cards that provide the random and color factors which can add so much excitement (and a bit of player stress) into a game of Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea (ACIS). In the first article we covered natural events. Here, we move on to mostly man-made events and calamities.
Introduction by Fred Schachter, Game Developer – It’s been a fun ride thus far with my erstwhile Game Designer partners: Chris Vorder Brugge and Mark McLaughlin. My career relocations allowed play-testing Ancient Civilization of the Inner Sea (ACIS) with gamers across the country, and through our pal Vez Arponin’s game club in Germany; who’ve quickly learned how to play and then had fun & exciting gaming experiences with this clever design.
Mark and I even enjoyed the game’s solitaire system thrashing us (a Non-Player Civilization, NPC, can be a tough opponent – but it is possible to defeat this determined foe). See various InsideGMT articles for more about the game and its solitaire system.
The ACIS Team is gratified for all the support being given this game. Thanks so much!!!
The purpose of this first of several InsideGMT posts is to introduce readers to more than what’s been shared to date about ACIS’ cards. Chris here provides an overview of the game’s cards and introduces the graphic talents of Blackwell Hird, who is now in process of illustrating them.
So, here’s the first episode of your tour into the cards of GMT’s upcoming Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea.
