Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

" I've heard a few comments here and there that History of the World plays similar to Vinci/Small World but on a larger scale/timeframe...How accurate is that?"
Sounds about as accurate as could be said for any given theme, i.e. AT is on a larger scale/timeframe compared to a Euro.
(Or are you trying to turn people off voting for HotW by implying it's a secret Euro?)

Nope! The reason why I ask is I do enjoy SW and if HotW is a more chromed out/epic version, then I may look a little more closely at HotW because chances are I'd enjoy it.

I haven't played either, but both have been on my radar to some extent. I do have a question though...I've heard a few comments here and there that History of the World plays similar to Vinci/Small World but on a larger scale/timeframe...How accurate is that?

Well, the first time I played Vinci, I described it to the Man as being History of the World with all the fun sucked out of it.
vote: History of the World

Well it's definitely a good game, I don't think you'd be disappointed.
If you also like Through the Ages then I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy HotW.

I enjoy both games quite a bit, not least because the theme (rise and fall of civilizations) is not often well represented in civilization building games, where history often only seems to go up.

Why do people think the designer is a jerk? He seems nothing but polite from what I've seen of him on-line.

It's almost not fair for me to vote, since I haven't played Britannia although I have read the rules. However, I love History of the World.
If anyone cares, there is a new, shorter version of HotW planned for Essen that you can preorder. I'm hoping that the shorter playing time helps me get it to the table more often.

Looks interesting, but it has the same playtime as the original.
