World's Fair 1893
World's Fair 1893 review
World's Fair 1893 is a fun and engaging game that takes players back to the grand exhibition of 1893 in Chicago. The game is easy to learn, with simple mechanics that involve collecting cards and placing supporters. I've found that it doesn't take long to learn, but there's definitely some strategy involved in getting the right cards and placing your supporters in the best locations. The game has a nice pace, and games generally wrap up within an hour or so. The game comes with a good amount of flavor text that helps immerse you in the time period. I love that they included some historical figures that offer bonuses when you play them at the right moment. While I was a bit worried about replayability at first, I've found that there are enough cards and variations that each game feels fresh.
I particularly appreciate the addition of diversity to the game. It's historically accurate and makes the game even more engaging. It's not a game for those who prefer complex strategies, but it's a great option for a family game night. The components are decent quality, and the art style fits the historical setting. I do wish there was a bit more asymmetry in the player setup, but it's not a major issue. Overall, I highly recommend World's Fair 1893. It's a fun, engaging, and quick-playing game that is perfect for a variety of groups.
