Vindication
Vindication review
Vindication, previously known as Epoch: The Awakening, is a fantasy-themed board game for 2-5 players. It's all about resource management, strategic positioning, and combining abilities to build a powerful character. The game is quick to learn, despite its complex mechanics, but delivers a depth of play that keeps you coming back for more. I especially appreciate the unique action selection system where you can choose the order of your actions, maximizing your strategy for the turn.
The game's art style is beautiful, and the components are top-notch. The rules are well-written and easy to understand, making it accessible to both experienced and new gamers. I've played several games now, and each one feels different thanks to the random tile placement and the wide variety of card combinations.
A word of caution: while the game is enjoyable, the price tag is a bit steep. Make sure you're willing to spend that kind of money before you commit. Overall, I highly recommend Vindication to anyone looking for a strategic, replayable, and beautiful board game. It's definitely a standout in the fantasy genre.
