&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; It is a pretty tough and time consuming game to GM (maybe two GMs=
 should<br>
&gt; &gt; be<br>
&gt; &gt; used - I don't know) because each player has to receive individua=
ted<br>
&gt; &gt; maps<br>
&gt; &gt; every season and the GM has to keep track of what each civ sees, =
all<br>
&gt; &gt; trades,<br>
&gt; &gt; etc. but absolutely worth the time and effort because the GM gets=
 to see<br>
&gt; &gt; everything and watch as the various 'nations' blindly look for ne=
w SCs<br>
&gt; &gt; to<br>
&gt; &gt; conquer and have theirs taken by surprise attacks from the dark.<=

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; The game is of course inspired by (arguably) the best PC game eve=
