According to rumblings on the web, Revolution from Steve Jackson Games is on track to arrive from the printer a bit early. If my talk with SJ Games’ Will Schoonover at GTS ’09 is any indication, this is good news for Eurogame fans. By all reports, Revolution is a solid game, with multiple paths to victory if I’m not mistaken. Though I didn’t get a chance to try Revolution at the show (I spent the evening trying to align planetary bodies in The Stars Are Right), I’ll certainly be awaiting the game’s August (or earlier?) release.
I’ve been a fan of Revolution since I played it at Gen Con last year. It’s easy to learn, is quick to play, and maintains the tension right up until the end. It’s fits solidly in the Eurogame category (despite its origins in the United States) but has a healthy dose of direct competition between the players.
Dang it. I’m more and more sorry I wasn’t able to play it at GTS. :-/
We’ll be running demos of Revolution at our GenCon booth.
