We love Clank! After dominion, our first modern euro (not counting settlers of catan) we got Clank and loved it. The majority of games we play are only my gf and I and while clank does work as a 2-player, its much better with 3 or more. Thus, it does not see the table often as other games.

However, we got Clank Catacombs soon as it came out and loved it. Works better as a two player too, because the routes are not so predictable. We had some games with super easy dungeon escape routes and others where almost everyone died trying to escape. I love that aspect of the game.

There are also a lot of cards that make +clank and this makes playing much more dangerous. I like that since dying in original clank was rather rare. Dying below the green line happened maybe once or twice in al the games we played of the original in 5 years.

Catacombs is borrowing some aspects of legacy and I think it really works well.

For me this is the Harbinger card from Dominion 2nd Edition. We played it not strictly following the from top to bottom. So you could look through your discard and then immediately draw it with the same card. It was super broken.

Or playing Milita but you always have to discard 2 cards, even if you are already at 3 or less. It was supid.

I really enjoy it. Extremely solid gameplay and I like the theme, too :)

hmmm... never though of it like that. Thanks a lot for the write up. The game is rather complex, this might be very difficult to do but I will tinker around a bit. It makes it also a big more rigid when it comes to changing some aspect of the game but could really help in getting the economy just right. I need someone to do my job during the day so I can work on this :D

I am a capable python programmer but would not know where to start with this. Any ideas?

We are currently still on the road and played more of Castles of Burgundy. We played a four player and a three player round which were a bit grueling because one of the players always took ages to make up their mind on what to do.

We also managed to squeeze in Ark Nova on the weekend. As always, a two player match which was fun but my gf is always very disappointed when she looses. This is not typical for her but I think it has something to do that you can end up having negative points. Sadly, its still my favorite game.

I usually make mine all fancy with my 3D printer :)

Its cool tech but far from Consumer hands. While open source its also rather expensive to build (at least for end users). The projector costs more than 2k and the rotating platform is almost 1k. Other parts I did not check :)

If it would be 1k or so I would build one

In principle a good idea. We actually own it. Its not really an adventure game and I think as a Coop deckbuilder, its not that great. Its OK but its not a good game in our opinion. We have it because we like Harry Potter and the box looks nice in our collection. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Spirit island is still very high on my list of games to get. With how many do you prefer to play it?

Oh cool! I wish my gf would be into adventure games! How is it playing with the app? Does that work well?

I would say I am a Specialist, maybe becoming a Collector.

We do not have so many games and enjoy playing the games we have as much as possible. It is our favorite hobby and we do not shy away from heavy games, in fact, we prefer a healthy mix of some easy to get into games and harder games.

We probably have something like 30 games. we thought about selling some but its almost more hassle than just keeping them around.
