“A well crafted and gorgeously put together game. There's more to it than Splendor but its quicker than Istanbul. This will appeal to anyone who likes an historical background to their games.”

“Nice little filler game to play if you're running out of time on a game night. Played this with my wife and she loved it. I think it's because of the fact its quite light on strategy, you don't have many choices on a turn: play a card, buy a card or buy a points card. That's the essence of the game. If you collect I would purchase this to tick of the lighter strategy game in your collection”

“I'm a recent returner to the board gaming scene and I'd had The gem collection game Splendor on my to buy list for some time. It had finally reached the top and then I heard about Century:Spice Road "The Splendor Killer" and so I had to dive straight in. The game involves a simple deck building mechanic where you play cards to gain or upgrade "spices" (represented by colourful cubes) or trade these spices to buy cards which then allow you to gain or upgrade more spices. If you've played all you cards you simply rest a turn and you can pick up your hand and go again. Eventually your going to want to trade your spices for cards which are worth victory points. Spice Road is an attractive game with beautiful art work and high quality components including wooden cubs, plastic bowls to hold them and some fancy metal coins which help boost scoring. The theme is pretty thin despite the game quality but this is more than made up for by the engaging, pacey gameplay which will have you burning brain cells to work out your next move. Coupled with this you really have to keep an eye on what your opponents are doing - once you start collecting victory point cards you likely to be racing for the same ones and this can get pretty tense. I don't think this is a game for everyone because it's quite a brain teaser, and with little in the way of theme it's not going to hold everyones attention. Saying that, if you like Splendor (and many do) this is certainly the next level on. I've played this already with a lot of different people and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. It falls into the simple to teach hard to master category. I certainly really enjoy playing it and after writing this review I'm hankering after another game.”
