"Imperium: Classic" players, do you feel the game got easier over time? (feddit.de)

While I like the concept of the game, I find the amount of key words and rules to juggle cumbersome and my GF was unable to get a handle on what to do.

What's your experience with sticking with the game? Any tipps that helped you internalize the gameplay?

PS I've already tried in solo but it's even more fiddly that way.

I think it got easier for me over time, I guess thats just learning by heart.

For new players I'd recommend picking one of the easy rated civs (romans, macedonians) and stick to them for a number of games with side A civ card. Focus on really learning your cards and what they're about, what ar the key words, what's your civs card bonus (focus on it for your first games), then switch to the B side, only switch to higher rated civs if you really understand what's the game about.

Yeah its not a casual game.

Thanks. I'll try it with my gaming group and maybe give it a second shot with my GF.

One more thing, although I never played it with more than 2 players total, I think Tom Vasel on Dicetower said the downtime with 3 and 4 is crazy long.

Have fun with your group and hopefully with your GF too!

Yeah I've read that as a common criticism. That's why I tried it solo first which was meh, then with just my GF. Tonight we should only be 2 or 3 to play so hopefully it wont be too bad.
