"Let us go then, you and I,  
When the board is spread out against the table  
Like a beast euthanized inside a stable;  
Let us go, through certain half-deserted tracks,  
The muttering attacks  
During restless nights of one-play bad games  
And sepia box lids with familiar names:  
Rules that follow like a tedious argument  
Of soporific intent  
To lead you to an overwhelming question …  
Oh, do not ask, “What to play?”  
Let us go and have our say.

In the room the gamers come and stay  
Talking of Asmodee."

-The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

Now I am curious, I have only played a single learning game of this.  
Looking through the rest of the list I can’t wait for Feierabend to give this a listen 🙂

They seemed less agreeable to it than dicetower.

I bet there’s a real risk of looking like an arse if you say you dislike flamecraft even if it’s principle gimmick seems to be lifted from munchkin (jokes)

🤣 🤣 🤣

They are. I feel their critique (so far, have to go to a meeting now) It’s very cute but after playing I immediately thought: it’s great that my nephew likes Dragons so much. I need to see more of it but it may end up at my sister’s house.

Skymines sounds good though 🙂

I agree about the Tindaya rulebook and please don’t ever compare it to Spirit Island just because it is an island setting with 2 gods.

I think I need to get Resist!
