unlabelledView post →Been waaaay too obsessed with Nova Roma lately, but, in my defense, it's a really good city builder. Not even taking into account it being an early access game, it's probably my favorite city builder to date. Especially with the water fluid simulation as a key feature. #novaroma

Sadly, my puppy chewed up a copy of one of the cards. 🤪 They graciously sent me a replacement for free! Top tier excellence in customer service!
unlabelledView post →I got to teach and play Nova Roma today, and may get to teach and play it better tomorrow. Was a fun game with 7 interconnected minigames. Definitely needs a full play before the interlocking games really make sense. I came in a distant last place but still enjoyed.
unlabelledView post →Anyway I stayed up until midnight playing Nova Roma and even though it's very low poly aesthetic, I love the little detail of apartment buildings having these stone steps when on elevated surfaces.
