Description
In the board game A War of Whispers (Standard 2nd Edition), five powerful empires clash over the fate of the world. You don't play as the rulers, though. Instead, you control secret societies pulling the strings from the shadows and betting on the outcome of the conflict.
Influence the results to make your bets pay off. A War of Whispers is a game of deep strategy, secret dealings, and shifting loyalties.
The game is in English.

For me, this is an almost perfect game: it sets up quickly, has simple and clear rules, and plays in under an hour.
I only have a few minor complaints about the technical details. Even though we didn't have any colorblind players in our group, newcomers still occasionally struggled to distinguish between the brown and yellow empires.
We also agreed that checking the card count and swapping preferences should happen at the beginning of each round (rather than at the end, where it causes confusion after the 4th round). The rules would be clearer, and it wouldn't affect the gameplay itself. I also don't quite understand the layout of the steps at the start of the round on the outer turn-tracking ring.
It's also worth noting that the card descriptions are a bit ambiguous, as if they weren't originally written in English and were translated by someone who didn't know English well or wasn't familiar with the game. Towards the end, it bothered me a bit that three of us had very similar preference layouts. We later found out there's an app on BGG that can solve this, but we haven't tested it yet.
Pre mna takmer dokonala hra: rychlo sa rozlozi, ma jednoduche a zrozumitelne pravidla a zahra sa do jednej hodiny.
Vytknut mozem len niektore technicke detaily. V skupine sme sice nemali farboslepeho hraca, napriek tomu mali novacikovia obcas problem s hranicami hnedej a zltej rise. Zhodli sme sa tiez, ze kontrola poctu kariet a vymena preferencii by sa mala robit na zaciatku kazdeho kola (nie na konci - kde to sposobuje nejasnosti na konci 4. kola). Pravidla by boli zrozumitelnejsie a na samotnu hru by to nemalo vplyv. Celkom nerozumiem ani rozlozeniu krokov na zaciatku kola na vonkajsom pomocnom kruhu tahov.
Treba tiez povedat, ze popisy kariet su trocha nejednoznacne, akoby neboli originalne pisane v anglictine, a prekladal ich niekto, co nevedel poriadne po anglicky alebo nepoznal hru. Na konci mi trocha vadilo, ze traja hraci sme mali dost podobne rozlozenie preferencie. Neskor sme ale zistili, ze na BGG je appka, ktora to vie vyriesit, ale zatial sme ju neotestovali.
