I found that 3 groups out of 4 get one rule wrong with this game: you can use trade cards multiple times in a single turn.

I'm not a cube pusher guy, but I do like Century Spice Road, I saw people playing at Dice Tower Con, they invited me to play, I was thinking this isn't the game for me but I had about hour before a planned event, so I thought OK. And I did like the game.

I ended up buying Spice Road over Crystal Golem at GenCon.
The tipping point is that Century is supposed to be a trilogy of games and the theme of each will be a different century in history.
The woman at the booth said Crystal Golem isn't going to have a sequel. So if I got Crystal Golem and then the other 2 games have the historical theme it wouldn't look good on the shelf.

Huge advantage towards Century is that you can play this with red/green colour blind people. Love the game, but for the Century version they just made terrible colour selection.

thumbs up for the colombian relatives!

I like how Roy edited out himself saying Spice Road. ;)

I didn't kill Splendor for me, I still keep my Splendor. I have the Century Spice Road.

The coins seem silly. Bronze is better than silver?

[Syncopator]

Why release the same game so close together as an existing game? Seems like a money grab, disappointing those who bought Spice Road and like the artwork on Golem better.
