Arkuwar, by Daniel M. Stelzer

This was a really fun little dive into a historical place and time that I personally find fascinating: the Bronze Age near-East. Suppiluiliuma is one of my favorite Bronze Age kings (though I'm a little biased--his name and the bizarre appearance of his statues just make him...awesome). I also liked that the game judges you based on how well you appeal to the gods, using the way that ancient societies viewed their relationship to the divine. Overall, it was very well done and true to life. I only give it a 4 rather than a 5 because I wish it went on longer!
