OTTOMAN SUNSET: 3RD EDITION
“If you’ve a date in Constantinople, she’ll be waiting in Istanbul”
Designer: Darin A. Leviloff | Publisher: Victory Point Games
Ottoman Sunset is the sibling game to Hapsburg Eclipse, a game I reviewed in this very magazine in a previous issue. Instead of a setting in the colder East, this game takes place in central Europe, and it surprised me how much difference this adds to the feel of the game. To me, as a British person playing, I felt more of an affinity with what happens in the game. That’s not to say it like “I remember when I was there”, but the game being set in places we see as tourist destinations now is both jarring and familiar, especially if you know little of the game’s setting.
