"'Augsburg' is a well-conceived and well-crafted game about the Reformation in Germany. While not a complex game, individual objectives and nondoctrinal issues might well add a bit of surprise and variability to the play of the game. It brings the Reformation 'down to earth' by focusing not only on the theological debates, but the way that religious changes affected the lived experiences of German city-dwellers in the 16th century."

"I think this game has a number of levels of religious, political, and economic complexity. This should make it a rich experience for students. The Reformation was certainly a defining moment in Western history and this game really exposes the fact that the outcome was both religious and political."

"This game is just really well written! Very clear and straightforward; minimal changes to venue, which can sometimes be confusing for students. Very well structured and laid out, with a natural progress of ideas and injects by the instructor to keep the tension high. From the student perception, I think the game starts deceptively simple. I suspect students will come in with an attitude of, 'oh, let’s just be tolerant,' but the first session can disabuse them of that notion and drive students to truly wrestle with the issues."
