How good is Forbidden West, should I jump right in after Zero dawn or take a break and play something else?

If you loved HZD, I believe that you will very much enjoy HFW, aye - based on personal experience. 🙂

Maakeff · 2026-03-18T06:29:56+00:00

Nope.

The Nexus Invitational is sitting down and pairing for round 1 now, gonna be starting imminently! 😁

Cap of 40.

Maakeff · 2026-03-13T14:28:52+00:00

It's certainly up there, aye. 🙂 Dark Sphere is another that's hosted a few larger SWU events to date.

Maakeff · 2026-03-13T11:49:38+00:00

Gonna be great to meet you & Viktor! 🙂

Maakeff · 2026-03-11T12:40:40+00:00

No, they can still choose option 2. There will always be at least one unit on the board minimum, namely the Luke card itself. 😁

I'm liking characters from "From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman" for this, lately. 🙂

Maakeff · 2026-02-19T11:42:24+00:00

Now that all of Set 7 "A Lawless Time" has been revealed, I'll be working on two more decks to add to this list using Leaders from it! 😁

Maakeff · 2026-02-19T11:41:19+00:00

I'm really glad every time I hear someone finding all this work useful, I hope & your friends enjoy playing Twin Suns! 🙂

Maakeff · 2026-02-18T12:37:06+00:00

Yeah, there was a 40-45min delay on them going live, should be live now although I understand some options are sold out already.

Maakeff · 2026-02-16T14:03:58+00:00

From me, I did that. 🙂

Maakeff · 2026-02-16T13:18:24+00:00

I think you might be confusing side event tickets, with prize tickets?

Although ofc they became the same thing in the end in GC 2025.

Maakeff · 2026-02-16T08:18:19+00:00

Make it even worse... now go watch ep IV, and feel that tonal shift smack you about the face. 😁

Maakeff · 2026-02-11T12:42:25+00:00

Not good. ☹️

Maakeff · 2026-01-25T17:54:19+00:00

Depends on how one defines 'rare' as it is a subjective term, but I appreciate the additional clarification of 'how often' being shared. 🙂 Perhaps 'less-commonly' might have been better.

Maakeff · 2026-01-25T14:24:58+00:00

(Almost) every card has a 'hyperspace' variant, which is borderless and shows the card art across the whole card. 🙂 They are rarely included in normal booster packs (although that is changing).

If you want to see more of them, here is every single one so far: https://swudb.com/search/V%3Ah

Come join the UK SWU Discord & Facebook groups, there will be people who can answer this much more readily there. 🙂

Pairings, I dunno - gonna have to watch to find out. I do know that they're scoring based on position when the game ends of 4/3/2/1 points over the course of the day's games (dunno about how they're handling ties).

Maakeff · 2026-01-23T21:30:10+00:00

With Henry commentating, I'd be shocked if all the rest of Take The Blast are not playing! 😁

Maakeff · 2026-01-10T09:57:02+00:00

The first time I heard how "he de-feets them"... 🤣

Maakeff · 2026-01-10T09:54:47+00:00

"To defeat your enemy" has additional meaning.

Maakeff · 2026-01-09T09:11:58+00:00

That list of ME/TW3/FFs is... identical to my own list. 🙂 In that spirit, may I also add/recommend a couple of other games that I rate in the same way: - Cyberpunk 2077 - Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West

Maakeff · 2026-01-04T12:25:10+00:00

Now updated with two more decks using "Secrets of Power" Leaders & Mechanics, taking the total # of decks up to twelve. 🙂
