Pursuit of Glory review

Pursuit of Glory is a captivating game that plunges you into the heart of World War One's Near East theatre. It's a worthy successor to Paths of Glory, offering a nuanced and strategic experience. The game's card-driven system provides incredible replayability, ensuring that each playthrough feels fresh and exciting.

I especially enjoyed the vast scope of the game, encompassing everything from the volatile Caucasus to the strategic Suez Canal. The focus on historical figures like Churchill and Lawrence of Arabia adds a layer of intrigue and authenticity. The decision-making process is truly engaging, as you juggle various objectives, resources, and command points to outmaneuver your opponent.

However, it's not a game for casual players. The depth and complexity of the game mechanics require a bit of a learning curve. But for those who appreciate strategic depth and historical accuracy, Pursuit of Glory is a must-have.
