We are happy to introduce today the upgraded version of Though the Ages, the well known civilization game from Vlaada Chvátil, for online play on Board Game Arena.
"TTA" is considered one of the best strategy games of all time. We are particularly proud about hosting it here on BGA for 5 years now, and that players have been enjoying this adaptation so much, with more than 500.000 games played until now (thank you for this!).
In 2015, the game publisher CGE published a revised version of the game: "Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization", with new art and rule changes. Everyone knows how hard it is to upgrade an existing "best selling" game... But it has been an incredible success: the revised version of the game is unanimously considered better than the original game, and this new edition is now ranked as the 3rd best game in all categories on BoardGameGeek.
For those who already know TTA, you should not be surprised by the new game rules and should be able to play it immediately. However, we recommend you to read the very last part of the rule book "What's new in the New Story" that summarize all the changes.
For those who do not know about the game: TTA is a civilization game, which by the way holds some similarities with Sid Meier's Civilization videogame. During the 4 ages of the game (from Antiquity to Modern Age), you must earn a maximum number of Culture points (little "harp" symbols) by setting up an efficient combination of technologies, military units and buildings. You have to face various events and attacks from the other players. You have to choose your leaders carefully, and to improve your government from the initial archaic "Despotism" to the most modern political systems.
BGA would like to thank CGE for giving us this possibility to offer the new version of TTA here!
Enjoy 🙂
Gennem aldre: En ny historie om civilisation
Vi er glade for at introducere i dag den opgraderede version af Though the Ages, det velkendte civilisationsspil fra Vlaada Chvátil, til online spil på Board Game Arena.
"TTA" betragtes som et af de bedste strategispil hele tiden.
Vi er især stolte over at være vært for BGA i 5 år nu, og at spillerne har haft denne tilpasning så meget, med mere end 500.000 spil spillet indtil nu (tak for dette!).
I 2015 udgav spiludgiver CGE en revideret version af spillet: "Gennem aldre: En ny historie om civilisation", med nye kunst og regelændringer.
Alle ved, hvor svært det er at opgradere et eksisterende "bedst sælgende" spil ...
Men det har været en utrolig succes: Den reviderede version af spillet er enstemmigt betragtes som bedre end det oprindelige spil, og denne nye udgave er nu placeret som det 3. bedste spil i alle kategorier på BoardGameGeek.
For dem, der allerede kender TTA, bør du ikke blive overrasket over de nye spilregler og bør kunne spille det med det samme.
Vi anbefaler dog, at du læser den sidste del af regelbogen "Hvad er nyt i den nye historie", der opsummerer alle ændringerne.
For dem, der ikke ved om spillet: TTA er et civilisationsspil, som forresten holder nogle ligheder med Sid Meiers Civilization videospil.
I løbet af de fire år i spillet (fra antikvitet til moderne alder) skal du optjene et maksimalt antal kulturpunkter (små "harp" symboler) ved at oprette en effektiv kombination af teknologier, militære enheder og bygninger.
Du er nødt til at møde forskellige arrangementer og angreb fra de andre spillere.
Du skal omhyggeligt vælge dine ledere og forbedre din regering fra den oprindelige arkaiske "Despotisme" til de mest moderne politiske systemer.
BGA vil gerne takke CGE for at give os denne mulighed for at tilbyde den nye version af TTA her!
god fornøjelse
