Nucleum: Australia


When Elsa von Frühlingfeld presented her invention to King Frederik Augustus II of Saxony, people thought it was trickery. She used the recently isolated element Uranium to heat up a jar of water and used the resulting steam to power an engine that kept the Uranium active via a process she called “atomization.” Her device, the Nucleum, ushered in a new era of energy and prosperity over the next decades. Saxony went from a minor regional power to the hub of European science and engineering. Now, a generation later, factories are still hungry for more power, demanding bigger and more Nucleums to be built, more Uranium imported from the nearby country of Bohemia, and railways and power lines built across the country to carry the tamed power of the atoms to Saxony’s great cities. Inventors, engineers, and industrialists flock to the Saxon court, vying to be the leader in this new industrial revolution.

Nucleum is a heavy euro board game in which players take role of industrialists trying to succeed during the economic and technological boom of 19th-century Saxony, fueled by the invention and spread of the Nucleum (a nuclear reactor).

Players earn victory points by developing their networks, building and powering urban buildings, securing contracts, and meeting milestones (randomized endgame goals). Each player also gets unique asymmetric technologies, giving them special powers when unlocked. Gameplay is continuous; players take turns one after another with no rounds or phases.

I Just Want To Play It Again

I wasn't sure about this game, and after my first play, I enjoyed it but I wouldn't say it blew me away. Then I found I couldn't stop thinking about the game and had to play it again, and I really enjoyed the second play, the third play was even better!!
It has quickly stormed into what might just be a top 10 game of all time for me. I love the action tiles, and the choices the game offers. I never feel stuck, just need to solve the puzzle on the best way to get to the solution. A slow burner that seams to get better each play.

More like Brass than Barrage and a touch of Darwin’s Journey

It should be no surprise that two of the two board game designers in the industry have created an excellent game. With only one play under my belt I am itching to get it back to the table again to explore the many different paths to victory this game provides. The action selection and income mechanisms are innovative and fresh. Highly recommend.
