I've playtested several versions with each one getting better. Even the early versions were the kind of game I loved to play.

Helped playtest. Was already a great game when I played it and the asymmetric powers meant I wanted to play it again.

A bit longer than stuff I usually play, but it really held my interest and merited the playlength.

An interesting historical game that has the feel Twilight Imperium squeezed into a comfortable 2 hours.

It was fun to play with plenty of meaningful decisions. If you like your area control with meat on the bones it's well worth playing.

It is great experience of managing historic peoples (every single kingdom is interesting for someone) and in the meantime taking control of other kingdoms. However it is strange that there is no Judaism for Khazars.

I really like the game mechanic where in the players choose some but not all of the possible action phases to occur during a given round. The strategic decisions about what to pick and when are a truly fun part of this game. I also enjoy the alternative path/counterfactual history aspects such as allowing the Golden Horde to be Catholic if that is how the player wishes to go. It is a fun game.

I'm not usually into the type of board game, and must admit was a little bit dubious when joining the playtest. It didn't take me very long to really get into the game and figure out he mechanics.
