Oligarchy

A couple of weeks back you may have been lucky enough to get a look at and a chance to play the new game Oligarchy designed by Gary Wareham at CONQUEST in Hove,

Unfortunately I did not get the time to play it but I did get to hear some really positive feedback. The week however I finally got the chance to play and I must say I loved it.

Gary came along to KD Games Night at the Royal George and demonstrated for the whole evening...


At first glance it look a little complicated and there seemed to be a lot to take in, this however is not the case the game is ssurprisinglysimple. The basic mechanics are very simple to learn and you can be playing in a very short period of time, especially if you are familiar with other card games.

It is set in the not to distant future and has a realistic feel to it. Gary has built some decks for demonstration purposes but it is intended as a deck building game, where you would buy boosters to construct your own winning formula.

Hopefully we will get a chance to build some decks soon.
