Ecos: First Continent review

Ecos: First Continent is a truly unique and engaging board game that has quickly become a favorite in our household. The concept of shaping the Earth's first continent with competing visions is both fascinating and fun to execute. The simultaneous gameplay keeps everyone involved and the strategic depth is quite rewarding.

The game is simple to learn, but mastering the strategy takes time and multiple playthroughs. I particularly enjoyed the way everyone is constantly working towards their own goals while simultaneously influencing the overall development of the continent. The card combinations and engine building aspects offer plenty of replayability and I appreciate how the game scales well with different player counts.

The components are of excellent quality and the artwork is beautiful. While some reviewers mentioned the setup taking some time, I found it to be a straightforward process once the rules were understood. Overall, I highly recommend Ecos: First Continent to anyone looking for a game that combines strategic thinking, engine building, and a touch of luck.
