Yeah, I guess I’m gonna try to free up one small-card-well, too, so I get a bit more space available and then it could work out. If only they had made the well for the player boards deeper! Oh well, first world problems, I guess. But …

Touchdown in Germany, great box of tons of cards and stuff (and cards and tokens are great quality). Nice insert for the cards, works fine for them. But man, the token piles combined with the standees just don’t fit in that one bigger…

As a counter point to David, me and my wife are up into over 90 plays of just the base game and still I would never turn down the offer to play 7WD. If I had to cull my collection, 7WD would be a definite stayer. There are other games…

Hmm, I wonder what the plan is how to survive turns 1-5, as several decks will just kill you before you reach turn 6/7. For example Elves I would say can be quite a bit of pain for this, especially since your only answer for grow-wide decks is Evincar’s Justice (and Swirling Sandstorm after SB) and you don’t have enough life-gain to keep casting EJ many times.

Definitely no three-claw-marks in Magic. It always used numbers for attack and defense.

Holy Fuck, that bug is toxic.

Silly me gave away the win in 13 Days by triggering Nuklear War as the USSR. Didn’t see the trap of losing dominance on TV and so unable to whitewash my military dominance when the last round military agenda triggered – which I myself actually chosen! Oh my. Luckily I am not a head of state. A really great and tight design, that I really enjoy.

/u/bboomslang on Deep, big games with short set up time
Feels kinda like cheating, but most abstracts start with an empty board or one that is set up quickly. Of those I own, Tak and The Duke really stand out for me for the super quick setup and deep and fun play. For more than two players the already menti…

Definitely Tigris&Euphrates. Super quick setup for a game with quite some depth and strategy. And tons of fun to play, too.
