Mosaic: A Story of Civilization is a Civilization-Building game from Glenn Drover, designer of, among others, Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery, Railways of the World, Sid Meier's Civilization: The Boardgame, and Raccoon Tycoon.

Mosaic is an action selection game. On your turn, you will perform one of seven actions:
Learn a New Technology (select a card from the Technology Offer)
Found a New City or Town, or Build a Project (select a card from the Build Offer and pay the cost in stone, ideas, and population)
Build a Wonder (select one of the available Wonder Tiles and pay Stone and Food)
Recruit or Move Military Units (pay money and add Military Units or move those that you already have)
Increase your civilization's Population (select a card from the Population Growth offer and pay food)
Produce Key Currencies used to purchase everything in the game (Produce one of: Food, Stone, or Ideas by adding your Population to your bonus in that currency type)
Trade or Tax to raise Money, which is the Universal Currency (select a card from the Trade/ Tax offer)
All Technologies and Projects give your Civilization unique abilities, as well as symbols that represent the increase in one of the 9 Components of Civilization:
Science - All learning
Economy
Food Production
Population/ Health
Building
Culture
Government
Military/ Empire
Urbanization
Acquiring these Components is important in creating the unique mosaic of your civilization. They are used as prerequisites for many new technologies, as well as for scoring. Also, by pursuing specialization in one or more Civilization Components, you may be able to claim a 'Golden Age' of that type.

As the game goes on and your Civilization grows, scoring cards are eventually revealed from the four decks. Each time a scoring card is revealed, your Civilization will score for each region that you dominate with your cities and military units.
After the third scoring card is revealed, there is one final turn and the game ends. You will then score for your cities and towns, your wonders, projects, and golden ages, and for all of your cards that score for your unique Civilization Components.

likely my favorite read of this entire year
Format: Kindle
Noah Blue has finally made it to the big leagues with her webcomic's success, as she lands a full-time job at the company responsible for the relaunch of the cult classic Queen Leisah. The comic is expected to be a smash hit, with movie deals already in the works. Noah's career is taking off, but there's one obstacle standing in her way. Sage Montgomery's natural talent has brought her to the top of the charts for eight consecutive years. Although her career has hit a plateau, she believes that working on a high-profile, mainstream comic will help her breakthrough. She expected complete creative control over the Queen Leisah relaunch, but instead, she must share credit with an artist who has been her rival since college. This artist has a real chance of surpassing her in skill. Sage and Noah must put their rivalry aside and cooperate, or at least make it appear that way. They thought the biggest challenge would be working together, but the real challenge turned out to be falling in love. Touching her was like diving into a warm pool, the heat soothing yet close to being unbearable. I wanted more, but I wasn’t confident I'd be able to handle more. That I was worthy of more. This book was probably one of the cutest books I have ever read and I'm so glad that I picked it up so early in my 2024 reading year because now I get to spend the rest of 2024 shoving it at everyone I know because this is a book I need every person to read. If you look at my entire January wrap-up and decide to only take one of my recommendations, let it be this one. It will leave you feeling all of the things and I don’t know if there is a cuter couple than Noah and Sage. I'll start my talking points with Noah, a fellow people-pleaser who worries a lot internally about whether or not she belongs at her new job with people she sees as the best of the best. I related to her for the people-pleasing aspects and it broke my heart to hear how her family talked about her art career. I absolutely loved her personality and if I could have a fictional character go shopping with me and help me pick out outfits because her style and overall vibes were immaculate. I loved the realness of her struggle to the top and the reality of what pushing yourself like that can be like. And then there is Sage, the oldest daughter who is literally taking on the entirety of taking care of her family on her own shoulders and feeling like she needs to be in control of everything all of the time, also super relatable for me personally. Sage’s growth throughout this book was probably one of my favorite points. The healing journey that she goes on throughout was inspiring and really beautiful which had me emotional at times. I loved the realness of how burnout was spoken about throughout this book. And I especially loved the way that her bisexuality was talked about in the book and how it can feel like people expect you to just pick a side. This book really delivered the rivals-to-lovers aspect of things and I really appreciated the term rivals being used as opposed to enemies because it just fit them so much better. The way that they started in direct competition with one another only to realize it shouldn’t have been one to begin with and the two of them just rooting for each other even at the expense of their own losses was just absolutely beautiful. Their chemistry as a couple was off the chart and from start to finish I was rooting so hard for them. I appreciated how open and direct they were with their communication and how their friend group grew closer and helped along the way. Outdrawn was seriously so cute and I know I’ve already said it but I can’t help but use that word when describing this book. I definitely recommend it to literally everyone and cannot wait to read more of Deanna Grey’s books! - rivals to lovers - sapphic romance - bisexual rep - lesbian rep - Black romance - comic book artists main characters - workplace romance - banter for days - slow burn - lots of pining - opposites attract - grumpy/sunshine

A refreshing romance read after a recent stent of mediocre reads
Format: Kindle
Well to be quite frank, over the last month or two, I've downloaded a ton of free romance books, got to love Kindle Day, with that being said I kinda can hit a snag as far as reading a ton of books that are meh as in the author delivering something short and sweet and free. And this book, I felt like the author took time to invest us in the back story to make an enemies to friends Trope really, really work and feel flushed out and .... Hmm not as dimensionaless as I've been enduring. Of course this book isn't free unless you have Kindle unlimited, which I do so maybe that's why I'm kind of lumping it into some of my Kindle day reads because I didn't pay anything for it. Even though of course I did with the subscription. It just felt refreshing. Now does it mean that the story didn't have flaws... it did. That comes in the form of the sex. If we were to give like a chili peppers rating on how steamy it was. I will give this about a notch over Pg13 as far as how substantial and how much the author was able to kind of, I don't know, give us the eemf. I love the consensual stuff. It was great but it... I don't know, something just felt like it was missing. like how in the photo booth scene in this story describes a kiss. It could have been better. But overall, I enjoyed the story

One of the best romance books I've had the pleasure of reading
Format: Kindle
This is one of the best romance books I've had the pleasure of reading. Every character, no matter how much page time they received, was fleshed out with flaws and backgrounds and personalities all their own. Sage and Noah, our FMC's, were relatable and lovable. The rivalry didn’t feel contrived, and the progression towards love felt natural. By the time Noah and Sage were falling for each other, the writing had completely dragged me, as the reader, along with them! During Noah’s POV, I was absolutely as smitten with Sage as she was, and the reverse rang true during Sage’s POV. And the bickering! The way these women teased and taunted each other had me kicking my feet and giggling. What really touched my heart though, and what will stay with me for a long time, was the exploration of asking for “help” vs looking for “rescue.” How asking for or accepting help, or putting up personal boundaries, doesn’t reduce your personal strength or worth. How it’s necessary and often a way of letting your friends/loved ones show their own caring. Noah and Sage were both strong women. Neither needed to save or be saved by anyone. They met on equal footing and formed a deep understanding of each other because of it, which only enhanced their ability to lean on each other and support each other once they learned to allow themselves. In turn, that actually deepened their bond and brought both further happiness.

4.5 SO CUTE
Format: Kindle
Sapphic rivals to lovers?? Family angst??? I often wonder why I even pick up contemporary romance or dark romance stories because they almost always disappoint. Either it’s too much hetero nonsense or boring plotting but this book makes me think make it’s not the genre, it’s the books I’m picking up. I am so in love with the main characters, I loved the witty banter and jabs between these too and also how they sweetened over time. The dialogue was too cheesy for the most part ( more on that later ) and reluctant working together in forced proximity was *chefs kiss* The family angst was in perfect balance with the romance and felt so relatable, I loved to see the development of both characters learning to stand up to their parents. AND ( spoilers ) THAT ONE SCENE WHERE SAGE TELLS NOAHS FMAILY TO GIVE HER RESPECT AND LET HER FINISH HER SENTENCES BEFORE BUTTING IN??? Weak in the knees. Weak in the knees. The smut was perfect( SO MUCH EXPLICIT CONSENT !!! ) , but I think for most people they will want more than we got, especially when the last 10% of the book was a little.. drawn out? ( pun absolutely intended ) in fact the ending being a little slow and out of balance with conflict was one of the only reasons I didn’t give this a full five stars. My other nitpick was that a small portion of the dialogue and the carnival date was a little cheesy. My expectations got higher as the book went along, but once they started dating the clever dialogue got a little too cheddar for me. Overall I would 100% recommend this book and I could see myself re-reading this one or picking up other books by this author.

Slow Burn
Format: Kindle
A distinct and unconventional enemies-to-lovers romance novel. This charming and gradual romance novel was characterized by its witty banter, diverse and well-developed characters, and unique personalities. While the pacing was somewhat slow at times, I found it challenging to maintain my attention throughout the entirety of the book. The storyline, though somewhat predictable, was original in its focus on the struggles of artists seeking self-discovery. The narrative explored relatable issues and challenging family dynamics, making it a satisfying read despite its predictability.
