About this episode

The episode discusses the board game Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization, exploring its mechanics and the challenges it presents to players.

Welcome back to the next game dilemma, your board gaming podcast. Today we’re tackling Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization - the game that asks a simple question: what if building a civilization was mostly cubes, tough choices, and quiet panic? From ancient farms to modern warfare, this is a game where every card matters, mistakes echo for centuries, and somehow you’re still short on workers. Is it brilliant? Is it exhausting? Is it both? Let’s go!
