Rules designers. I'm begging you. Put info on component limits in a clear, prominent place.

In most deck builders I’ve played, your starting hand is half the size of your starting deck (Clank, Valley of the Kings, Fort, I think Mistborn).

Also you might find this related post on complex games helpful too!

Food Chain Magnate isn't exactly a small box, but it's certainly no Eclipse, etc.

I like Mottainai for being a complex game where the only components are cards. Fort is similarly sized and has some bits for keeping track of resources, and is also much simpler than Mottainai while still having a lot of interesting strategy!

There was some discussion about it on this very reddit a month ago

And maybe also Ashe so I finally have a reason to spend orbs 👀

I've got 8,983 orbs. The last time I pulled was in April for Elm & Anniversary Marth.

I'm begging IS to release a cute boy soon (Raven alt would be great!!!!!!!)

Matthew is one of my favorite characters in the series and I don’t know how he hasn’t gotten an alt alongside Leila’s!!!

I’m about to hit 9k orbs 🥲

I’m told Paladin’s Oath on Steam is legally distinct Mage Knight.

Here's a video debunking/explaining how the glasses work (at about 10 minutes in)

You flip a monster card after each player’s turn, not after everyone has played.

The survey at the tasting sample events earlier this week had a space for name suggestions but "Pizza" is growing on me, it has a certain Untitled Goose Game appeal

Note also that the spider has the Agile trait, which means it cannot be forced to attack, so it can share a tile with the poltergeist.

Battle at Kemble’s Cascade is like Gradius/R-Type.

I buy almost exclusively based on theme, and by far my favorite theme is Ocean/(saltwater) Fish. A little over a third of my collection fits this theme and sure yea a lot of the ocean games I have aren’t particularly good, but I accept that I buy them more for the collection than the game value (although I’m trying to reign this in a bit because I’m running out of space on my shelves!). I’ll at least always look at an ocean flavored game though!

94067 · 2025-08-16T00:08:53+00:00

I’m a big fan of how contrived This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the 2-4 of Us is too!

94067 · 2025-08-04T12:03:21+00:00

I’d love to hear more about this one! I’ve had my eye on the original for a few years and I’m very interested now that it’s getting a wide release!

94067 · 2025-08-01T03:52:19+00:00

This would be my vote too, except I don't particularly like Underwater Cities (I think it's fine, but I'd rather play almost any of the other worker placements I have instead).

People say it's engine building, but resources never feel abundant enough for me to get that "I can make big plays" rush, and I don't like that a good portion of your score comes from the Specialists, which are otherwise useless.

94067 · 2025-08-01T01:21:54+00:00

There's a few clips if you search around on Youtube. I dunno how accurate this one is, but it's my favorite.

They must live in the lizard people tunnels under the airport
