#175: Imperium: Classics & Legends

2021-06-29T10:00:08Z

It’s a card game that spans over four thousand years, but Walker would insist that it only feels like you’re playing for three thousand, tops. The great thing about reviewing games by Dávid Turczi is that if you don’t enjoy the latest game he’s published, wait five minutes and he’ll have another one for you.

Masterpiece Theatre is now the highlight of my AV week. I always chuckle heartily.

I haven’t heard this episode yet but I think they’ve been talking about lama dice for a month. In the first week they were dismissive and last week they liked it.

It feels like another knizia where some things are true - 1 it feels random but somehow also the best players keep winning. 2 - there’s a plain strategy and then there’s a lightbulb moment strategy which reconstructs a groups meta. Hopefully they still like it.
