Last game you bought?

Well, in my mind there are 2 types of deck builders Dominion-likes and StarRealms-likes distinguished by fixed market vs random market. Saying “I’d rather play Dominion than other deckbuilders” is valid of course because Dominion is a very good game in what it does.

However, Mistborn is no Dominion clone but a Star Realms descendant with a random market and as such I find those play very differently.

I hope we will soon get in another play (it does seem to run a bit longer than Star Realms maybe due to a bit more complexity with the metals which is welcome in our case) and then I might give a more detailed opinion in the Recent Games thread. For now I just want to note that we enjoyed that first game.

My son adores Cthulhu Realms. Might have to give Mistborn a shot!

As mentioned in the Recent Games thread, bought a French edition of Harmonies as a cute “everyone” game to bring to the club.

Creepshow: The Suspense-Building Game, it looks great. Be even better if you were building a story, but I don’t believe it works like that.

Not going to see it for a while, but Moon Colony Bloodbath. What a great name!

Today was Nerdz Day at Game Nerdz. Not too much that interested me, as I truly am trying to cut back on buying new games. However, Legacy of Yu was on sale for just under $39 after shipping, and with multiple people here raving about it, I decided to take the plunge.

Bought Compile Main 1. I blame this forum, of course.

Torchlit Yay! Thanks to Daniel Newman’s New Mill publishing it and Travel Games getting it to the UK.

Ra (Acrylic Tiles version). Replacing my cardboard version.

Yeah. I feel like Compile’s gameplay is what Millennium Blades’ embedded “card game” mode should have been (or was trying to be).

I passed on that one. My solo queue is long enough.

I got Marrakesh, which I’ve been watching for a long time. And Foundations of Metropolis because I’m not willing to pay for Foundations of Rome. Then Knarr, Windmill Valley, and Vale of Eternity because worth trying for ~$20.

I was very tempted by Vale of Eternity, as I remember Matt having a good review of it and I believe simfers here has said good things about it, but I have a load of unplayed games that require multiple players, so I decided to pass on it. A solo game has better odds of hitting the table.

Yeah, Vale was a big hit over here. Hit all the right buttons. Was pretty reasonably priced, too!

I got a (small) bonus at work, so I finally bought myself a Crokinole board.

Masters, which are Woodestic boards. Should arrive next week.

Apparently the SUSD review single-handedly saved Tracey boards’ business in 2020, and every other manufacturer too.

Bought Eternal Decks today. Bit expensive, but no idea when it’s coming out here.

Compile is here, and desperately over-packaged.


Actual game content.

I suppose they may be allowing for expansions, but even so…

This lot is included just to be thrown away.

Same with mine. Terrible packaging
