Blocks!: Julius Caesar Reviews

Although the units on the map do not represent historical accuracy, the game allows the player(s) to experience the deadly struggle between the two factions. The strategic movement, recruitment and naval power simulates the historical struggle quite closely. Tactical battles, although following a very simplistic system, perfectly complements the strategic system. This is a grand strategy game, not a tactical simulation. The tension level in the game is high; every turn is a nail-biter. It is a quick game and worth every minute. It is fun and everyone walks away smiling at the end.

This is my one of my favorite block games. When I purchased it, I have prepared for bad AI. As much as I understand Avalon Digital's limited operations, this Digital version is disappointing. There is still some bug (e.g. Caesar should have initiative on the very first round, but it is still counting the card initiative), and the interface is also not excellent (e.g. Event / Special card is not written clearly as the original cards; you need to shift+click manually to move units through the same border, otherwise it counts as a movement of a single block, with the rest coming as reinforcement; undo-ing will reset the whole round).
