Crescent Moon @ 1:08:02

As the sun rises over the deserts, rivers, and oases of the Caliphate, a delicate balance has been upset. As one of many rival powers in the region, you now have the opportunity to alter the course of history and seize power for yourself. The ambitious Sultan sits in a golden palace, presiding over great works of architecture. The secretive Murshid works to covertly undermine the central authorities through an expansive network of agents. The wandering tribes of the Nomad aim to sow discord in order to secure employment for their experienced mercenary citizenry. The ravaging forces of the Warlord sweep across the land, chasing after promises of plunder. And, in the face of chaos and uncertainty, the Caliph aims to preserve order through military might. Will you successfully navigate this web of rivalries and rise to prominence, or will you squabble with your lesser adversaries and fade into obscurity?

Crescent Moon is an area control game for four or five players. Take on the role of one of five radically asymmetric characters, each with their own objectives to fulfil, unique actions to utilise, and game-changing special powers to employ. Build symbiotic relationships with your allies, undermine your rivals, and choose your friends and enemies wisely in this cut-throat game of power and politics.

This game deserves a better ranking on BGG. If you like Pax Pamir you will love this.

Refined and redefined

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

This 5 or 4 player asymmetrical area control war game takes all the greatness of others in it's genre and strips away (most of) the fiddle, and reemphasize what makes those games great: and that is the diplomacy, creating an experience that is familiar in some ways and very novel in all the ways it should be. The game left me asking, why haven't war games done this before? That is a rare feeling in this hobby.
