Yeah, there are different ways to make that cut.
Some say Columbus, some say Fall of Byzantine…. I don’t think that you can make that up on one event. It happened around 1500, that’s good enough for me :)
They also give them special priveleges such as dual citizenship as part of the reparations.
Do we?
Well, that doesn’t sound at all like german policy. I only know of the dual citizenship for ppl younger than mpfteen years, to let them decide which one they want to take later.
That’s a legal privilege that sounds “too much” to my german bureaucratic ears.
SORRY!!!
I forgot that part.
No one knows what the other missions are. The game comes with the mission cards. We shuffle them and pass them out (we sometimes pull “occupy 18 territories with 2 or more troops” and “take out yellow” if yellow is not playing). Then we try to accomplish our mission.
We try not to let anyone know our mission - that may mean pretending to go after someone we’re not after - it’s amazing how people react if they perceive you taking out another player to be your mission - you can take any continent you want that way :). Also, we try to guess the other players’ missions in order to thwart them.
I did see one player win on the first turn (i hadn’t had an attack yet, however a couple of earlier players took out some of my units in strategic opening moves - the guy who one simply moved right through me !!!)
