Is the game This War of Mine realistic? Does it match up with things that really would happen during a siege? If you are wondering about getting the game and if these questions ring true, then please read this short review that many comments claim is the board game review they have ever read:
=> Review by Survivor or the Siege of Sarajevo
This is how the review starts … and after this brief beginning, the REAL review begins that includes real life stories to match up with the game!
Quick background.
When I was 8 years old the Siege of Sarajevo began. It lasted until I was 12. Even though those times were terrible, if you ask me about the siege, and don’t dig enough inside me, I will tell you just about how great those times were. Let me explain. I never had that many friends and never had that much fun (we were all in one basement hiding from shells, bunch of kids.). People were so good to each other (if I have anything to eat, you have it too. I remember 6-7 “grownups” sitting in the basement smoking one cigarette in circle. Not one cigarette, but the only one, at that moment.) There was art everywhere. In every shelter there were theatre plays, concerts, parties… There was nothing more important than to live a normal life under abnormal circumstances…
But, if you dig deep enough…
That is when memories like ones in “This War of Mine” will start to come out from me. Yeah, those memories hidden deep inside for nobody to hear, see or touch.
After you finish reading THAT review … you may wish to read the next review as well:
