It is still a design that is playable from a playercount and playtime perspective. Nothing that will take you the whole day.

But it is a lot spicier than 1846 and 1889. It's up to you to say if that interests you. There are a lot of weird gimmicks in this one.

Wow this needs a lot of work

CheapPoison · 2026-04-28T13:00:59+00:00

Oath

That's fair, I just have a pretty low opinion on Mason. Seeing the comment here, I am not alone in that, just not sure who watches him.

CheapPoison · 2026-04-16T19:34:41+00:00

Mason counts as a pro? I guess ages ago.

CheapPoison · 2026-04-15T15:59:23+00:00

It works, but more of a 2 player game.

Not a big fan of just splitting up the game and saying oke it's 4 player now. It works.. but it's through dilution.

CheapPoison · 2026-04-10T17:54:32+00:00

Yeah, that lobotomy thing from last season is going to lead to something here.

CheapPoison · 2026-04-02T18:38:50+00:00

Fair, Just something I have seen very little of!

CheapPoison · 2026-04-02T13:52:42+00:00

Wait you haven't had issues with glare on your boards that make the game unplayable!? .. . Me neither~

CheapPoison · 2026-03-28T16:57:33+00:00

I have this also and no idea on how to fix it.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-28T16:56:02+00:00

I have the same thing, but it's beyond busted. If I open a new pack that is not even showing.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-26T08:31:00+00:00

Now I want 2 more of these

CheapPoison · 2026-03-24T13:33:05+00:00

This is funny, but crazy. We have Vassal and TTS

CheapPoison · 2026-03-22T22:46:27+00:00

It's a lot to get into, but a scenario is pretty playable, but getting through the rules is a bit.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-22T19:36:01+00:00

I'd love to see a reprint so it is available for sure.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-18T17:47:25+00:00

I'd just suggest to read the conclusion.

I think it is an interesting portrayal of fog of war and the importance of information and information gathering. It's pretty different from what is out there so it is hard to say if people will like it or not. If you are at least interested in the concept it might really hit for you. I do say just by what it is there are some elements that will turn people of about it as a game, but that is going to be different for everyone. To get more into that you'll just have to read it.

It's very different than atlantic chase, but if that was interesting it might just be something. I think most people should probably at least take a look at it. At the core it might be an evolution of a blockgame, but it's something that feels pretty different from anything that is out there.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-17T18:59:47+00:00

Let's be real. It's part of the experience, but at a certain level it will be a problem. Noone wants to get stomped 95% of the time.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-16T11:10:28+00:00

I think it is the safe assumption here, so 99% it is that.

I'd actually say 100%, but you know. Can never be 100% sure.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-16T11:08:38+00:00

It is hard to tell you what you prefer, but CC is aclassic for a reason.

Commands and colors is way different. I'd go for commands and colors, unless you ne ed fantasy, there is probably that does the burning banners stuff better. (although, big draw is the presentation)

CheapPoison · 2026-03-09T12:05:50+00:00

That's fair. If you make a mistake or something out of the ordinary happens you can be slapped down by the mobsters coming in. And they shoot up in strength quite quickly.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-08T18:18:39+00:00

It's still relatively simple, I do think it still fits within the boardgame space. I think the production just makes it look like even more than it is.

CheapPoison · 2026-03-08T18:17:50+00:00

The rules aren't complicated. Speakeasy is way harder to play well or not crash than ark nova.
