Chaos in the Old World

Overview

Chaos in the Old World is a board game produced by Fantasy Flight Games in which the players take the role of one of the Gods of Chaos to take over the world.

Not only must the players contend with one another, but they must deal with random events that the world itself throws up at them, such as the rise of human armies, or Elven Wizards, Norse Invasions and others, each of which can radically change the way the game develops. This coupled with randomly positioned objectives and constantly shifting goals means that no two games will play alike.

Thankfully despite all of the activity happening within a single game, it is not as difficult to pick up and play as some other of the FFG board games, and can be completed in less than a couple of hours.
