Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Cyclades (epic experience, but middle weight in rules).
  • Cyclades also feels like it's got more game to be played in it relative to it's length
  • Cyclades is awesome.
  • Cyclades seems more like a staple game that might come out many game nights in a row. Many board game reviewers have had it as an all-time favorite for many years.
  • Cyclades is a stone-cold classic game that has stood the test of time for a very long time.

Cons

  • Cyclades is decent. I can’t give either a firm recommendation
  • In my case, cyclades wasn't for me although I wish I could try a version with the expansion, the games was for me exciting at first part of the game but some monsters cards were too powerful and mattered too much compared to the other th...
  • Mmm, I think they're both B grade games, Cyclades whilst lorded as a classic is so slllloooww, and really suffers from king making or luckily drawing the right creature card, it would never be designed today.

In my case, cyclades wasn't for me although I wish I could try a version with the expansion, the games was for me exciting at first part of the game but some monsters cards were too powerful and mattered too much compared to the other things we did in the game that we started to only bid for the god that was first to choose monster to get the good ones, and they decided the game.
