So this has actually grown on me more. Once you get past the fact that it’s a completely abstract game… there’s a bit of a hook here. The speed of set-up and play is a definite factor (it’s extremely easy to fit in a game of this) as is the “train factor” (i.e. having established that I can make this compact enough to play on the train* : )
So I’m still playing this, and I think not moving it to the discard pile after all.
It is one of those games that I almost never lose, though (not quite to the extent of The Maiden In The Forest, but the win ratio is extremely high). Per those earlier comments this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it still seems worth noting.
(*) It’s a bit marginal – but with my laptop to play on top of, and if I hold the completed quest cards in my hand, it’s completely do-able. I think my most compact train game is one of the solo Cribbage variants I play, as my tiny portable crib board isn’t in danger of sliding away, and I only have to deal with a couple of hands of cards at a time.
