I think it got easier for me over time, I guess thats just learning by heart.
For new players I'd recommend picking one of the easy rated civs (romans, macedonians) and stick to them for a number of games with side A civ card. Focus on really learning your cards and what they're about, what ar the key words, what's your civs card bonus (focus on it for your first games), then switch to the B side, only switch to higher rated civs if you really understand what's the game about.
Yeah its not a casual game.
Thanks. I'll try it with my gaming group and maybe give it a second shot with my GF.
One more thing, although I never played it with more than 2 players total, I think Tom Vasel on Dicetower said the downtime with 3 and 4 is crazy long.
Have fun with your group and hopefully with your GF too!
Including teaching we got our 3 player game done in a little under 3 hours. This is just about still tolerable. I would nnot play this with 4. My friends have reserved their judgement till after next time but so far it wasn't a huge success or failure either way. While we had the gameplay pretty much down pat towards the end of the game, we're still grasping for anything remotely like a strategy though...
GF mentioned that she will probably try it again with me seeing as we didn't hate it...
