What games are you playing now instead?

Post by Wills2084 »

Century Spice Road was my go to game for Board Game Arena. Really hate that it is unavailable at this time, however, I'm still enjoying other games. I have found Splendor Duel to sorta feel the void, but has anyone else found other games that are simular in play style and length of time for real time games?

I'd say Splendor/Splendor Duels are the closest one to Century on BGA, as far as I know. I think you might also enjoy Jump Drive, Res Arcana, Cubirds and Chemical Overload.

Century is a card game, a light engine builder, forming a race between the players towards the goal.

Harmonies, Bonsai and Azul are tile placing games, Imhotep is a pick-up and deliver type of game, Arboretum is a tableau builder.
In which way are they "similar in play style"? Those might be wonderful games, but I am not sure this is what Wills2084 is looking for.

Splendor is probably the closest, also an engine builder. In Splendor, the engine is passive while in Century you have to 'activate' it.

There are many other abstract optimization games, such as Azul and others that have been listed in this topic.

Personally, I'm eyeing Nova Luna (but haven't started yet).
