I think this game just great. It is well suited for a short game nights and people who do not like too long games. You play it, depending on the number of players and experience between 30 and 70 minutes.
The game itself is kept fairly simple and can be easily learned even by beginners or be played by players who do not pay attention to strategy. You choose one of the beautiful thoughtful fantasy peoples (of which one plays more during the game) and thus conquered areas to earn points. It is not luck involved (there are no dice, except for a small exception) nor the battle system is complicated. Each area needs to be conquered 2 units + 1 unit for any other tile on the field. 1 enemy unit is killed, the others are withdrawn and reallocated.
Sounds may not be so easy, but it is. And it works very well.

For strategists yet, the game offers a lot of potential but. Which people I choose in what situation? When I let my people go down best to select a new (which in turn sounds easier than it is often)? What areas do I conquer (for example, to avoid contact with certain players)? I give to areas in order to conquer other territories or to me to set up defensive? I prefer Conquer many areas to even get more points or less prefer areas and kill this enemy units to weaken my opponent? Etc. etc.
A beginner who does not think about it, but as I said can still play successfully.

The presentation of the game is really pretty and well done and the material is excellent. Each part has well stocked his place in the box. The price / performance ratio is good.

Last but not least will have to be mentioned that the game for more than 2 player is well balanced (only the dwarves a little too weak) and every people in certain situations has its appeal. For 2 players but I would not recommend this game because it then easy to get that is too strong and the other has no chance. With more players, anyone who seems too strong, always returns slowed collectively.

The game is never boring, because every game runs completely different even after repeated playing. (By random Konmbination of Race and Special Power already here arise again new and exciting constellations)
I have the game already over 12 plays and it has not lost a bit of charm!
I hope I could help. :-)
