Yea,
I’m not sure if I like the new turn order either. My brother was my ally, but he’s never played Global, so although he helped control some of the boards powers (Calcutta, China, Anzac), he had alot of questsions on his turns, which in turn distracted me from my turns - which was frustrating - because it was all happening at the same time to save game minutes.
It’s really quite a drab having to do…
USA
CHINA
LONDON
CALCUTTA
ANZAC
… all in a row. I think you have to make the game a minimum 5 player game now - or don’t play. There’s just too much going on, if you want to be done in under 10 hours.
Balance was good though, game is hella fun.
