Century: Golem Edition – Endless World

You lead crystal traders into an unmapped land, placing workers on location tiles to gather crystals, upgrade them, and cash them in for point cards. The game ends when enough of those cards have been claimed, and the highest total wins. Each turn you either place workers or take all of them back. Every tile on the growing map does one thing: give you crystals, convert them into rarer colours, or let you fulfil a card and claim it. Placing where a rival already stands costs extra, and the golem cards you win grant lasting powers. The third and heaviest of the Golem trilogy, and it stands alone, though it can be combined with the other two boxes. A tidy forty-five minutes, best with three, and a good next step for someone who enjoyed Splendor and wants more to think about.
