Jonsaw, you got it wrong
Part of the beauty of Lux is that it's so simple. If you don't like the world domination metaphor, think of it as blobs of different strenghts rolling dice at each other. I agree with you about the political aspect, but I think that rolling Lux into this is a mistake. Take a look at it, and play the "power of Hex" map, and then tell me that this has anything to do with world domination, or even the Scaluxtrix map, which looks more like a childs car racing game.
Jonsaw, you got it wrong
Well, it was largely watching the Lux animations of nuclear bombs going off in other countries and imagining it was funny that got to me. I grew up during the 60s and 70s when a lot of people were still worried that this could actually happen. I was always optimistic it wouldn't, and that it was limited to movies and books, and I guess I was "proven" right, but I still breathed a sigh of relief when the Soviet Union went under, and I still do every now and then. It really was a serious deal--both the Soviets and the US military were really nuts about it. I like strategy games, but years of exposure to the nuclear worry made me dislike the ones that involve domination and destruction.
Other board layouts sound good
Forgot to add: if Lux has other maps that don't involve tossing bombs, etc., that sounds cool. Maybe I'll check it out. |
