When you can only spare an hour to conquer the world.
A few turns into my campaign leading the Roman Empire, I take a leaf out of Nero's playbook and burn my granary. Not the actual storehouse that's keeping Rome's citizens fed, but the playing card that would allow me to build another. Right now, I'm less interested in stockpiling food than I am in cycling through my deck for a few extra legionaries to fend off the French riflemen parked outside my gates.
Nearly every decision is made through card play—bar unit movement, attack orders and trading—meaning you're rarely overwhelmed by options. And even as you're faced with the usual gamut of Civilization-style imperial matters to mull over, including population growth, luxury resources, border expansion, and world wonders, you're spared from rooting around knotty menus and arrays of side tabs.
It's those elements that lend Hexarchy a touch more complexity than what first impressions might suggest, although nothing is ever too taxing. Much of my time with this early build was spent optimizing my deck to enable tide-turning rushes that weren't so much strategically impressive as they were lucky.
