Imperial Settlers

Lots of replayability

I would have given Imperial Settlers 4 stars, but the font on the card is printed so small that impacts the enjoyment of the game for anyone who requires glasses, which happens to most of us over the age of 50. Imperial Settlers has an easy to learn mechanic, that can have a lot of nuances as you learn the game. Card based, engine building, resource management and includes a small amount of aggression between players which adds interest but doesn't become too overwhelming. The aggression is mostly one attack per person per turn, unless you have cards that give you more swords (Romans!). There is also the option to play the nice version.
