Asmodee Century Golem Edition Board Game - Journey Along The Golem Road in Caravania, Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 2-4 Players, 30-45 Minute Playtime

I'm not a fan of games in general, but I played this with friends before buying it myself because I liked it so much! It's slower paced and fairly simple, but strategy is still important to winning. The cards are thick and durable, the coins are actual metal, the artwork is beautiful, and the little crystals, though plastic, are durable and nice with no pointy seams. The box is also sturdy, it's great long term storage and won't fall apart like some other games with thinner box material.I highly recommend this, it's a lot of fun!

Fun and easy to learn game. Takes about 20 minutes to play. The art is engaging and the super high quality components make the game a breeze to set up and put away. Clearly created by people who love to play games. One of our favorites.

First of all, this game is friendly for a wide range of ages. My nephew is 8 and enjoyed it as well as his grandma who is in her 60s. There is some strategy involved in game play but it is quick to figure out. You are saving various colored crystals to buy whimscicle gollums worth various points. That’s the very basic idea of it. The game is very portable and affordable. A great gift choice for birthdays or holidays! Can’t lose!

This is a fantastic engine building, deck building, and hand management game. It’s often compared to Splendor. It’s different enough from Splendor that you could own both and not feel like it’s redundant.The components in the Golem Edition are beautiful and top quality. Game play is identical to the original Century Spice Road, but this version is much more aesthetically attracting and appealing.A great gateway game that has a single, double-sided sheet for rules. Can be taught in 5 minutes, but has infinite replayability.It also supports up to 5 players so it’s a good game for higher player counts.The metal coins are a great touch and along with the colorful resin crystals add a wonderful tactile immersion to the game.Highly recommended for adults and family gaming alike.

This game is well made with quality plastic gems and metal coins, not cheap plastic. Also the art on the on the board pieces are well done and graphically beautiful. This game is great for kids and adults or a combo of both. There is strategy involved, yet there are different types of strategy based on skill level, making it fun for all. You can play this game with 2 to 5 players or you can create teams, making it fun for a variety of sized groups. This game makes a great gift!

I had originally played the regular version (Century Spice Road) and really enjoyed the game mechanics. The Golem Edition is even better because of the high quality components and gorgeous art. The resources are gems and they actually look like gems (whereas the Spice Road version simply uses colored cubes). The art on all of the cards is so colorful and pretty. The game box has a built in organizer to keep the box tidy and ready to go each time you want to play. Additionally, the gem components (the game's form of currency) each have their own little bowl to keep your table organized while you play.This is now a house-favorite in the "fast and easy" board game category. I have some non-gamer roommates that even love sitting down to play. Century Golem Edition is an awesome engine builder that has very simple rules isn't a brain burner. It limits turn length to a single action per player and doesn't let anyone snowball out of control.The only downside with Century Golem Edition is that Plan B announced that they would not be creating a Golem Edition of the expansions available for Century Spice Road (Century: Eastern Wonders - already available, and another to be released in 2019). If you are interested in eventually purchasing the expansions, you will have to purchase the standard edition of this game.

Really good game. Start with jewels and trade them up to better jewels. Trade up enough jewels and use them to purchase the golems for points.

Part of the Century (Spice Road) four game (5 including this one but this one cannot be combined with the other four) series. This one is more appealing to younger players because of the art work but it’s not any easier. It’s not a difficult game, none of them are, but the art in this one makes younger players more interested. If you have kids you want to have get into board gaming, this is a good game to introduce them to the hobby. Good for 10+, plays in an hour or less, and is easy to teach and learn.
