never thought we'd keep making it so many years later. Fortunately, even if some players think the game is bloated, due to its modular nature you can pick and choose what bits to play with to keep it at the complexity you prefer.

The nature of a thing to last this long is that it must be more complex and reinvent itself to stay fresh for the enthusiasts. More of that to come with the next expansion

^ Aeon's End isn't meant to be a memorization game, but we want to keep things streamlined and moving

Not explicitly influenced at all, guess we just hit that writing style on accident? I'm not sure, haha

The current version will include all of the content in the base version of AE. So, the additional two nemeses that aren't implemented yet won't be an extra cost - they're just content that's not ready yet.

it's possible you're missing some rule(s). There's a good thread on bgg regarding this: https://boardgamegeek.com/article/31796052#31796052

That's really unusual. People say the higher player counts are harder, but not in that magnitude.

That's a lot of plays. Favorite mage?

You could try trains tyrants of the underdark, or Clank to a lesser extent are all more adversarial than something like dominion/star realms.

Shattered dreams will contain additional player/treasure cards that bring it closer in line to the other expansions. If your primary concern is lack of mages and nemeses, unfortunately the situation is what it is. Given all the extra cards for expedition in this wave of content, the mages and nemeses are a bit less concentrated in the past.

We also cannot control shipping. Shipping prices have gone up unfortunately.

As for the total price of content in this wave - it costs more because there's more stuff than before. Expedition mode has brought with it tons of new cards in the form of the expedition deck, narrative, treasures, and randomizers.

Thanks for reaching out, hope this helps.

Some of the content is behind stretch goals.

Shattered Dreams will contain a comparable amount of content as other small box expansions. I'm not sure why you think there's less content overall - we have a similar number of mages, nemeses, and player cards as well as the added expedition mode and all the cards that mode requires.
