Votes For Women - Audio Review- Fort Circle Games
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
This review originally appeared on https://werenotwizards.blogspot.com/2023/04/votes-for-women-board-games-review-fort.html
Find out more about Votes For Women by visiting https://www.fortcircle.com/games/
This review is based on the retail version of the game provided to us by the designer and publisher. We were not paid for this review. We give a general overview of the gameplay and so not all of the mechanical aspects of the game may be mentioned.
The majority of the games that we are play are going to take a reasonable number of sessions and playthroughs to fully understand every possibility that they offer. We hope this write up gives you an idea of whether or not this game is something that you will consider playing or even add to your collection. Our Six Degrees of Expectation have been written to make it easier for you to find out what is important to you as a player. Even if we don't like something, hopefully it helps you to decide if it is something that you should find out more about. We always suggest you check out a gameplay video to give you a better understanding of the game as it is played.
