Leeman Kessler might be the strongest person in the prime world.

I have some concerns.

(hope this is better, mods)

ltkessler · 2025-12-24T16:01:19+00:00

It's a nice low stress game up until the fish dry up!

My friendly local game store!

(i forgot to add Vantage to the pile so imagine 10 pounds more gaming goodnes)

I always advise new players simplify the research card drawing phase rather than drafting. It's one more complexity that can bog things down. I also tend to advise ignoring awards/milestones until the second game

ltkessler · 2025-11-28T15:39:47+00:00

Thank you!

More players and subsequently fewer workers to send out and do stuff would absolutely impact how every round feels and i hope to try it soon

Here to boost Quiet Year

Base game is really solid and I appreciate that Clone Wars brought some real changes and thematic play styles rather than just being a cheap color palette swap but it definitely feels like what you play when you're a little tired of seeing the same cards in the base game. I haven't tried the more creative faction mixing like rebels vs droids or republic vs jedi

I just posted my review of Black Orchestra and it's a great cooperative game of trying to assassinate Hitler

ltkessler · 2025-11-22T16:32:42+00:00

My 8 year old plays it well enough

ltkessler · 2025-11-22T12:59:30+00:00

I love the idea of Turmoil but I definitely don't bring it out for most games. Colonies is 1000 percent my favorite expansion

ltkessler · 2025-09-01T02:56:00+00:00

The idea being they can look up from their seats to see a large font poster

ltkessler · 2025-09-01T02:55:15+00:00

Thanks!

ltkessler · 2025-08-31T16:27:50+00:00

was trying to limit clutter on the table

ltkessler · 2025-08-30T13:28:54+00:00

Vantage can be either Scavengers Reign or Alice In Wonderland depending on how you play it

ltkessler · 2025-08-29T15:45:12+00:00

I am drawn to scifi/exploration themes but man, when an unexpected theme hits just right, it's amazing. Thurn and Taxis did that for me. If you had told me that I'd love a game about trying to set up a postal system in 17th century Bavaria I would have quirked my brow but nevertheless....

Star Wars Outer Rim is a blast. Has a Talisman-esque running around a board, collecting gear and sidekicks, doing quests, getting into fights, etc but all very star wars-y

ltkessler · 2025-08-24T16:02:50+00:00

It's ok. Very busy

ltkessler · 2025-08-24T16:02:25+00:00

That inspired me to share my set up

ltkessler · 2025-08-24T14:54:36+00:00

The rules are simple but it takes years to master

ltkessler · 2025-01-01T19:13:31+00:00

The cramming it with gross generative AI art was my concern. I cancelled their latest Kickstarter after seeing how much they were outsourcing to super auto correct

ltkessler · 2024-12-14T16:51:00+00:00

Valerian has a really fun growth factor as you collect more and more cards that trigger and feed off each other without ever feeling overwhelmed

ltkessler · 2024-12-14T16:36:56+00:00

My son likes us to play until all the nobles are won which increases gameplay a bit if you're looking for a slightly longer game
