#87: Vinci

Phillippe Keyaertes designed this mini-Civ game which sweeps into the Top 100 at #87. Vinci was lauded upon its release for providing the Civ-punch in 1/3 of the playing time. [Mark: And with 66% less fiddliness.]

Brian Leet: "I like this best with three or four players. We also always play with my random ending variant which seems to do well at eliminating excessive king-making and min-maxing in the final turns."

Dave Arnott: "Civ-Lite, Pseudo-Wargame, whatever you want to call it, just a perfect mix of variable special powers, attack and defense, and, of course, the thing that's actually more important than those other two: timing."
