Jaipur vs Rise of Nations
Jaipur
Jaipur is an incredibly strategic and fun, 2-player card and chips game that's based off on the buying and selling that's going on in the thriving marketplace of Jaipur back in the day. In this game, your goal is to make as much money as possible - more than your opponent, obviously - by trading goods at the market. You can play the game against an AI of a difficulty of your choosing via Solo mode or you can try your hand against a friend in its Pass and Play mode or another player online in its Online Duel mode.Interestingly, the game offers a fascinating campaign where you'll compete with other merchants across various districts in India to edge out the competition and become the sole monopoly. From time to time, you may encounter scenarios in which a local asked you for some monetary help or some bully came over to your store to demand "protection money" as well. The decisions you make may aid you, or cause you harm, as you progress through the campaign.
Despite its seemingly complicated rules, Jaipur is a really easy game to play once you go through its tutorial. It's incredibly strategic too as you may need to make drastic moves to deny your opponent a card. If you enjoy strategic card games that deal in trading in general, you'll love Jaipur.
Rise of Nations
Rise of Nations is one of the most iconic yet somewhat underrated, completely unique real-time strategy game that is possibly inspired by games like Risk. Unlike most games where you simply build bases, amass armies and send them to destroy your opponents, Rise of Nations has more of a diplomatic and governing aspect that allows you to forge alliances and break them, as well as a series of Wonders of the World which, when built, will grant your nation unique bonuses. Aside from a ton of maps, the game also has a comparably wide variety of nations, each with their own special abilities and special military units, for you to play as.Although the gameplay in each individual battles are set in real time, the gameplay for the world map view is turn-based, supplemented with ability cards. There are also valuable resources that you can capture to give your nation certain perks. Best of all, you can immerse yourself in historical battles via the game's campaign which consisted of multiple scenarios or you can test your mettle by playing the game via its online multiplayer mode.
Rise of Nations is one of the best classic strategy games that definitely had managed to not only withstand the test of time but also thrive, somewhat, in today's day and age. If you're a fan of nation-building, this is a game you should most certainly play.
