Go…by the grace of gods
MITROPIA
Designer: Andrzej Jarzyna, Kerrie Saephanh, Steven Willmott, Piotr Zuchowski | Publisher: Timewarp Labs
War would be a lot less messy if we settled our quarrels by ascending our most accomplished warriors and tacticians to the magical fields of the gods for a bloodless battle of wits. But alas, war never changes.
Thankfully though, Timewarp Labs have harnessed this lofty idea for their successfully Kickstarted area control game Mitropia.
Off the bat, I can confidently shower the designers with kudos for not plaguing their Kickstarter with miniatures, as the real beauty of Mitropia lies in its simplicity. Indeed, its grand thematic backdrop belies a refreshingly simple design heavily inspired by the classic game of Go.
