Why It's On The List
- It's a solid civilization-building game that plays in a reasonable amount of time (roughly 30-45 minutes per player for multi-player games) and isn't overburdened by a need to pursue military buildup in order to survive and thrive.
Tips &Tricks:
- Balancing short-term goals (completing Golden Age & Civilization Achievement tiles) and long-term goals (scoring for Projects & Technologies) is key.
- It's also important to remember what does (and doesn't) score at Empire scoring points. Sometimes, it's worth guaranteeing second place in a region to stay relevant in the game.
- The game moves at a wonderful clip - since players only take one action each turn, experienced players can make the game fly while still having lots of interesting decisions to ponder.
Extras
- Mosaic is an excellent civ-building game… and the expansion adds some great new elements (many of which can be used as modules). Multi-player games with it have been a lot of fun,,,
- ...but I’m still unhappy with Forbidden Games for numerous mistakes they’ve made with the excellent David Turczi solo “bot”: only putting Herobotus in the Colossal edition of the base game, then not updating the solo bot with the Wars & Disasters expansion (even after printing “1-5 players” on the expansion box).
- There is a fan-made solo version using the expansion that works... but it's a little clunky.
