Our take on Seven Kingdoms 2 HD
The bounce point arrives when a player must coordinate several systems at once: economic construction, trade routes, diplomacy, espionage, and military action. Anyone expecting army-building to carry the game may stall when victory also depends on purchasing, covert actions, and political decisions.
