Dice and tactics that fit together not really real. In "In the change of times the dice game" the dice to decide on the development of your civilization, but the tactical skill affects the course of a positive or negative.

This is because the players that store the results of their litters and can use them in different areas can. On a wooden board with small areas of ground such markers appear. On the board can order a trade in goods, other foods are stored and marked. Later, these are used to supply or purchase of civilizational achievements.

These purchases and more are also through the use of money and workers commercially available Stäfte and monuments recorded with onset disasters over again on a special note sheet. Where can then be calculated at end of the game and the overall result.

The addition of "Bronze Age" in the title game traitor, that is meant here with the raw materials, structures and achievements mainly to typography from that time period. However, this is highly abstracted and brings the complexity of an emerging civilization on some more or less familiar concepts.

There are, in many games like used merchandise wood, stone, pottery, cloth and metal (bronze, why not really?) That can be collected here, in that order, and simulate a little development of civilization. Metal is in fact much more difficult to obtain than wood, which comes on almost every roll of the dice.

The reason is that the number of dice determines the productivity. Players may still operate using only as many cubes as they have cities that have three at the beginning. Per cube but only up to two products are possible so that the distribution of metal is rare, because it is in the distribution order in last place.

The influence of the dice is done by the selection of dice, a player who wishes to use. He may perform the throw with unwanted advertisements to three times, the dice, the disaster show should not be thrown again.

For Katstrophen is the most common of the famine, which occurs when it is not sufficient to throw food for the inhabitants of the cities. Other disasters such as disease or insurrection occur less frequently and can be prevented by canvassing a very lasting achievement.

Thus if you have many goods, sufficient food and a few disasters that can be invested in other cities, monuments and achievements. These are then required to make payments more workers and money. Both are also würfelbar, money can be earned via the exchange of goods. Unlike the goods are available for workers and money are no memory, but this must be spent in the active round.

The game ends when one player has 5 achievements, or if all monuments have been built. The player with the most most points after the addition of bonus points and the deduction of catastrophe points wins the match.

When materials are mainly the somewhat clunky-looking wood - Scoreboard in the eye, which show by patchbay small pins stocks. This is appropriate, since it eliminates shifts in supply indicator, if the dice fail unexpectedly agile movements. The near-DIN - A notation on four great arches of the result sheet and the statement could fail without affecting the clarity perhaps a little smaller, but to fulfill its purpose.

In the course of time - Bronze Age - the dice game is a mature tactical dice game for players who like dice. Is in the nature of games of dice lying luck factor, offset by the distribution and leads to more choices and different game sequences. Particularly noteworthy is the way that the game is playable alone in Solitaire mode. In the course of time - Bronze Age - the dice game is on the nomination list for the game of 2010.
