I still haven’t opened my copy - need to get it learnt

I’m curious what caused the downtime. Even my partner—for whom AP was surely coined—was able to rip through turns. Seems like the horse die is pretty good about limiting how many players get special actions, anyway.
Don’t get me wrong, the game just didn’t have the ease of play to make a big group game effortless, IMO. Still, I found the 2P game mostly simultaneous to the point where it’s surprising to hear that it doesn’t necessarily scale evenly.

Turn order sensitive so we can’t play at the same time and there’s a lot of complexity faff that people look out for, but they doesn’t add that much depth.

Yeah, fair enough. I guess when the game is this light, any minor slowdown is potentially excruciating. I had wondered if maybe the different horse sets might make for a juicier game but, at least taken for their “sets” (rather than mixing and matching), I wasn’t seeing that much more to chew on.
[EDIT] I guess my main complaint relative to the kind of audience it wants: I’ve got more raucous offerings. And frankly I can teach Decrypto faster, which is no small feat.
Sold Brass: Lancashire, great game but can’t see me suggesting it over other games I own. After getting a decent offer for it I reflected that I was only keeping hold of it as it is about the region I live in.

It sounds like you’ve made a noble sacrifice in order to answer my earlier question : )

With that trimming I’m now down to 104 games. Have a few in the sell pile so hopefully can shrink down to 100 soon.

Someone was looking for Martian Dice, so I asked what they’d pay and it was a ‘I’d rather have one money and zero game’ kind of offer.

I’ve just sold Mavel United X-men, Lisboa, On Mars, 1861/67 and Cosmic Frog. This has taken me back below 100 games again. Given how I’ve stopped buying games currently I’m hoping this will continue for a good long while. I do have more games to go so hoping I can shift a few more so the KS/preorder games won’t take me back above 100…

I mean it’s flip a card and stack it. Junk Art is definitely more ‘gamey’. There’s a sunset art version coming out with a new block type (thematically marshmallows) and the cards to go with it.
Currently at a restaurant with the 6 year playing it with my Mother in Law.

No luck getting rid of the Alien Frontiers with all the expansions - maybe everyone else now feels about if the way I do, that it’s all very well but because you can’t start planning your turn until you see (a) what the previous player did and (b) what you just rolled, it’s very vulnerable to players with AP.

Fury of Dracula is in the post. All said, I wouldn’t mind having it on my shelf but the likelihood of play : opportunity cost of the market rate was too compelling a ratio.

I feel like playing it about once in 2-3 years, and a nearby friend owns a copy.

I sold a game! 
Someone popped up on the trading group I’m in on FB asking if anyone had Reigns: The Council to sell. I’d never managed to get my copy played - occasionally pulling it out, but deciding against it. So off it went (or it will once the buyer has moved house).
