Anitke II Review - with Ryan Metzler

[@dragosdominiosp]

Great video. Just grabbing my copy to play tonight so this is very helpful. Miss your videos, they have all been the most strramlined for a long time. Curious why you stopped...

Anitke II: Mediterranean Boogaloo

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

That's great that they offer it as an upgrade as well...

[@Sager96]

Somebody please help me out. If there is a neutral temple in a region that you want to build a city, do you have to destroy the neutral temple before you build your new city? Or can you just build the new city and "capture" the neutral temple?

[@warnickid]

You must destroy the temple first is how I read it.

Great! This looks like a multiplayer Antike Duellum, one of my favorite games. Wonder why they removed the city walls, loved those. Very neat addition of the bonus point for whoever gets all techs first. Nice way to keep the tension over them to the end. Thanks for the review :)

Great review, Ryan!

The title is misspelled on the video. (Bad spellers of the world, untie!)

[@shawncameron9514]

This may be okay with 4 or more players but with 3 there is no game here whatsoever. I bought it a few months back and I basically walked backwards to victory when we played it. There was no tension, we never even got close enough to each other for a battle to take place. The resources were overly abundant. I was sure we had played it wrong, but we hadn't. I think it would be a good game had they done like Small World and scaled one of the maps down for a smaller group of players.

Shawn Cameron, this is a common complaint about the game. There are those who enjoy it at 3P as is, but others have turned to variants to get around it, like blocking off certain regions and/or creating “neutral” enemies which resist expansion.

It looks cool. I haven't played the original before, but I like the theme.

Wrong title, Anitke
