My great-great-grandmother walked over 1,000 miles across the American plains in 1856.
As I look at my own family history, I have learned that I am descended from many strong and courageous women. Recently the stories of their lives are coming to light, and many universities (and even some high schools) offer courses in women’s history. However, there are countless women who played important roles in history. I can't wait to see some expansions with all the interesting women that got narrowed out last time.It does not seem like a coincidence that the first three letters in history are “his.” Most history is written by men and about men. Overall a great game with a very interesting theme. This could have hurt the game making certain cards feel overly situational but it never seemed to feel that way. One of the "small" details I rather enjoyed was that several cards had almost a "you can only punch up" type mechanic that allowed you bonus points as long as you were trialing behind. While card abilities reward you for finding interesting combinations. The perfect pay mechanic echos games like Alhambra, giving you incentive to search for perfect tiles and rewards you for clever plays.
The cards are well designed with interesting facts easily found while not interfering with the flow of the game itself. It has very nice art, great & well thought out game play and is easily accessible. Designed just to educate rather than entertain (not that there would be anything wrong with that but its great to see it's more than that), but what I found was a game that was obviously a labor of love and designed with gamers in mind too. I was initially worried it would be more of a storybook than a game. The subject matter of this game is clearly going to discourage specific political parties from enjoying this game, so I'm just going to cut past that matter and point out things like I would any other board game.
