Do you remember / know Conquest of Empire? The wargame published by Eagle-Gryphon Games with involvement of Martin Wallace in 2005 (second edition). First edition is from 1984! Large board, 6 players (wow!), well balanced goals and changing alliances from turn top turn. You can lay whole game in about 4-6 hours so it was not so often on our table.
I was looking lately through my pictures from old conventions and found two from 2011. That is kind of a nostalgic look back at what I was playing 8 years ago. I am proud to say that my choices were good – I vividly remember all the excitement, intrigues, back-stabbing of COE 🙂
The problem with that game was that it was hard to get 6 players to play it especially for ~5 hours. Kind like Twilight Imperium. But once you get them to the board – and conventions are kind of best time to do something like this – you have guaranteed fun.
Well, I will not claim I do not remember all the details of that meeting. Still, the positive emotions (yeah, I won, that helps…) are with me. Unfortunately it was last time we played that game. Maybe we will come back to it some time in the future – who knows… Still, there are so many new games you hardly have time to play what you just bought…

That looks cool! Can’t say I’ve ever heard of it, though.

Yes, that is pretty decent game although has its years. The changing alliances – which you can influence with money – are great concept in that game.
