Mosaic: A Story of Civilization - Review

Mosaic is a civilization themed set collection and area control game for 1-6 players with a true solo mode and/or A.I. enemy for up to 5 player games. Designed by Glenn Drover and Published by Forbidden Games!
"Mosaic: A Story of Civilization is a Civilization-Building game from Glenn Drover, designer of, among others, Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery, Railways of the World, Sid Meier's Civilization: The Boardgame, and Raccoon Tycoon.
Mosaic is an action selection game. On your turn, you will perform one of seven actions and acquire components.
Acquiring Components is important in creating the unique mosaic of your civilization. They are used as prerequisites for many new technologies, as well as for scoring. Also, by pursuing specialization in one or more Civilization Components, you may be able to claim a ‘Golden Age’ of that type.
As the game goes on and your Civilization grows, scoring cards are eventually revealed from the four decks. Each time a scoring card is revealed, your Civilization will score for each region that you dominate with your cities and military units. After the third scoring card is revealed, there is one final turn and the game ends. You will then score for your cities and towns, your wonders, projects, and golden ages, and for all of your cards that score for your unique Civilization Components."

Great review. Glad to have found an actual review of the game and not an infomercial. Please keep the reviews coming.

I LOVE the colossus edition. I like having the miniatures. But honestly it’s all about that XL player board. The little dials to keep track of all the symbols is so nice. But I agree you don’t “need” it. But for me I like minis and deluxe stuff and metal coins, etc.

I passed on the XL boards due to size, but I am glad they are working out for you, thanks for watching!

Do you think is a good 2 player game? I saw tje bgg suggestion and it said it is not recommend it i wanted to pmay with my wife Thanks!

I wouldn't play 2 player unless I was using the AI. You need to use the AI for 2 player otherwise it is way to easy for one player to stall out the game.

Hi hi I couldn't find your home brew fix for the back to back empire scoring scenario would you be able to share what it is?

[@OffTheShelfGameReviews]

Should be in the solo video which isn't scheduled live until I think Monday.
