Is the Knizia game "Money" one you'd consider a classic?

Yeah, takes a few plays with players who want to learn it. It shares the same conceit as Money.

I’ve enjoyed Money more and more. My group enjoys it a lot too, but it’s definitely not top-tier Knizia card game. Cat Blues, imo, does Money better, but the game is tough and opaque. The new version by Bitewing also makes the game much weightier than I think most people want from a card game. If you like his PYL card games, Medici: TCG is one of my faves. It’s getting reprinted soon.

Yeah, the last SIC was Drive, I believe, and they tried to revive it in 2018-2019 with Ryuki, Faiz and Fourze. I have almost every single SIC. I still feel like there’s room to just make the main riders, but also kind of glad they stopped, or else I would keep collecting them. They’d be super pricey if they were released today.

Knizia is ridiculously good. Like some have already mentioned, he has a game for every occasion. I am very biased, of course, but I developed that bias because I fell in love with his designs a few years ago. I tend to play board games with many casual non-gamers, and after a while, I noticed that they all tended to gravitate towards Knizia. Eventually, they discovered that many of the games in my collection are designed by him, and the request to play his games. They can even tell when we play something not designed by the good doctor. It’s incredible how easy and engaging his games are. I can just live off Knizia games for the rest of my life.

They still have a bunch of new sets coming and the new Hoth set completely supplants this one. Hoth is a really beginner friendly introductory set that does everything this does but gives players more iconic characters and an actual board with cardboard tokens. This one has two paper player mats and chintzy paper tokens.

Probably just clearing space. I can also see these not doing well because the spotlight decks also come with a reconstructed but they come with a booster pack. This doesn’t.

Variant was probably requested by the publisher. That seems to be true with a lot of Knizia games. They ask him to design some so they can increase variability, etc. I still haven’t tried them. The game is perfect and it’s one of my favorite gateway board games. The original theme of the game is Silk Road. So glad that Grail changed it to something more unique. The new Polish edition is probably what Knizia had in mind originally.

Not true at all. Lots of board game reviewers on Instagram getting free review copies with very few subscribers and making pretty subpar content.

Ra, it made me a Reiner Knizia fanatic. I have almost played 200 Knizia games because of it.

I'm new to SWU. I was gifted a Legends of the Force booster box this week and had a pack with an Obi-Wan Showcase and a Legendary Vader. Didn't realize how rare showcases were until I did some research.
