by HuginnGreiling There's a game of Advanced Civilization paused under plexiglas below Antiquity, yes. And you can see the poster map for High Frontier running under the edges of that.

by leemc13 Ah, the High Frontier lettering juxtaposed with those war game chits was throwing me off. I couldn't figure out what game it was at first. Thx!

by Flyboy Connor Physically speaking, Ora is one of the worst-designed games that I know. I do not like the gameplay either, which feels chaotic, messy, and without any interesting choices.

by rrrrupp I'd like to get Ora to the table more (I've only played a single game) but the one game we played felt really mechanical. There was way too much, "turn this good into that good which is...

by Myoman I'm torn on that variant. In the end you have even more buildings out, increasing the clutter, and sometimes the city building a regular building helps get to more key buildings easier.
