We played The Barracks Emperors last night, first time with 4.
After a brief rules snafu we had an excellent game. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever played. 13 consecutive tricks where the cards you play will count for other players in different tricks. Plus there are powers! And hand management from an open market.
It’s bonkers. Totally mind bending with the spatial element as well.
But it’s not Tournament at Avalon style chaos, it’s a proper GMT game with accurate history on the Emperor cards. My wargaming friend who has an aversion to trick takers loved it.
I’d definitely recommend everyone playing this at least once, will bring it to AireCon for sure. It’s up there with That’s not a Hat for my game of the year.
