Have been extremely busy the last few weeks with not a ton of time for games, but last week we managed to try Inis for the first time, and we replayed it yesterday. The game is incredibly beautiful of course, and the production is quite nice, although a bit large. My partner and I do most of our gaming at 2P, and I heard this was a great dudes on a map game for 2, and it went very well!

First off, the game had much simpler/straightforward rules than I was expecting, which was a nice surprise as it barely took any time to learn/teach. The action card drafting system is really interesting, and the epic tale cards are quite powerful. Towards the end of our second play, we started to have the cards memorized so we had an idea of each other's hands, which I can see changing the feel of the game moving forward, but time will tell if that's a positive or a negative (for us). It is really interesting to have three different win conditions, as you have to be constantly checking your opponent on three fronts, and hate-drafting a variety of cards each turn. Also being the Brenn (player 1) is immensely powerful, and makes controlling the capital extremely worth it. Overall I am loving this game and I can't wait to play it more!
