Z-Man Games Hadara Board Game - Award-Winning Strategy Game for 2-5 Players | Perfect for Family Game Nights & Strategy Game Enthusiasts

I’m a regular gamer, and found over the last few years every time my friend brings out this game, everyone really likes it! Finally bought a copy and introduced it to another game group and they enjoyed playing as well. Believe this will be part of the regular rotation. There is strategy, a relatively tight resource balance, and once you get through explaining it plays in under an hour.Quality of components is great. When unpacking for the first time it was easy to punch out all the pieces, and repacks into the box well. Was really impressed at the multiple slots allotted for all the cards to separate the different epochs. That helped keep the game moving quickly. Plenty of extra bags included for the game pieces as well.The organization and layout was quite thoughtful. It uses titles, colors, and symbols throughout to visually identify the different gaming components. It also includes a reference card for each player, which we used regularly throughout the game.For non-gamers, this may seem complicated at first. For regular gamers, it’s not terribly complicated. For hard-core gamers it may not be complicated enough to become a regular game. As a regular gamer who enjoys medium to high levels of complication (depending on the group) what I valued most was the appeal to different types of gamers and that it plays in under an hour.Oh, and remember to feed your people. They’re building your empire, after all!
