It’s time to talk about a game that we found to be a lot of fun for just $10 at your local Evil Empire – err, Wal-Mart.
It is a game of world domination in which you start with a town center and a couple of villagers and build up your civilization with houses, mills, lumber camps, gold and stone mines, barracks, castles and other various buildings for the advancement of culture.
The best part of this game is after you advance through the ages and can build your civilization's unique attacking units such as knights and trebuchets (big freakin’ catapults that destroy enemy walls and buildings). After amassing a decent size army of attack units and fortifying your base with stone walls and guard towers, march your army to the enemy base and wreak havoc among their villagers, town center and defense units.
We have found this game to be at its best when doing a LAN and joining forces against computer opponents. A common task is for us to take our team of 2 cultures against either 3 teams of 2 cultures per team or against 2 teams of 3 cultures per team. (There is an 8 player maximum.)
We urge you to buy this cheap game, set up a LAN with a couple of friends and set out to dominate the world. It is the cheapest game I have ever spent so much time playing – outside of that pet rock I got when I was 3 years old… I definitely suggest Age of Empires over a pet rock if you are old enough to operate a computer.

Great column. It does, however, fail to point out the special challenges presented by China. Do not take their navy lightly.
China + Navy = Problems.
