With Santiago de Cuba and Terra Mystica finishing at just about the same time, we joined together for a six player game of Spiel-des-Jahres nominated Augustus. Perhaps my expectations were a bit high due to the SdJ nomination but this fell very flat for me, and everyone else. Maybe six players is too many but it just didn't seem to generate any real tension and the interruptions to play when someone called Ave Caesar (or Bingo, most of the time) went on too long and too regularly with this number of players. We were all relieved when Nige finally brought an end to the game, with him a country mile ahead of anyone else.
