(More customer reviews)We were looking forward to playing Alexander the Great with our son, since he's named after the great leader. We are huge fans of Settlers of Catan and thought this might be in the same vein. It's not. It's an interesting game, but we just haven't enjoyed it too much. It seems to be a mixture of Settlers and Risk. Both of which are excellent games in their own right. It just doesn't seem as engaging as the other 2 games. Definitely more of a conquering game, vs a trading game.
