Games which do not end friendships, but strengthen them. Games where working together works and loners fall behind.

Can be something simple like The Game or reach any complexity level. Coming to think of it, bring on the complexity. ๐Ÿ™‚

I've only played it once, but I would say it's quite a different experience with some similar elements. I felt some amount of OP deck building when I managed to get a Heavy Blade/strength deck rolling with ironclad, but the focus was a lot more on the cooperative elements and planning out ideal moves. It felt like there was far less margin for error and it being a lot easier to die, fwiw.

Interesting that it appears harder, perhaps the slightly different format kinda forces you to relearn certain strategies? My partner and I both love sts so it definitely looks like a good buy

Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
