Quickplay strategy games have always been a thing, but they appear to be gaining in popularity lately. I will probably regret not keeping Ozymandias aside for the traditional “summer strategy game for when your brain is a gas” bit, but the scene is looking healthy enough to chance it.
You know that cliché feeling of “just one more turn”? Ozymandias is a bronze age 4X that builds momentum enough to turn that into “just one more game”. It is incredibly easy to learn, and despite looking a little dry and number heavy, becomes more effortless, more pleasant the longer you play. It also becomes more clear how much depth there is hidden away in such a light design. It’s about proving yourself the most prestigious civilisation, not through total conquest, but by exploiting the lay of the land, and leaning into your strengths.
