A Column of Fire

A Column of Fire is a board game based on the third book in Ken Follett's "Kingsbridge" series. It's a complex game, not for casual gamers or children, but if you're a fan of Euro games with a bit of history thrown in, this could be for you. I've played it a few times now and I find the gameplay to be enjoyable and engaging.

The game is set in Europe during the reign of Elizabeth I, and players take on the role of operatives working for either the Catholic or Protestant factions. The game focuses on resource management and strategic decision-making. There's a lot to keep track of, which can be overwhelming at first. The game is also fairly luck-based, as you rely on dice rolls to determine your character's abilities and actions.

The artwork is beautiful, just like the other games in the Ken Follett series. The game components are well-made and sturdy. However, some have found that the brown and purple dice are too similar in color.

Overall, I think A Column of Fire is a good game, but it's not for everyone. If you're a serious gamer who enjoys complexity and strategy, then you'll probably enjoy this game. But if you're looking for a casual game to play with your family, then I'd recommend something else.
