Nice! What was your strategy? Hugely disappointed in my own brain last time around. Proper let down. I need to play it more really.

Back to the table, probably Arcs. Need to try and restore a bit of dignity after the last game I played!

Can’t say I’ve played any of those! Will check them out! Personally I like really thematic games, particularly competitive games. Which is probably reflected in the game I made! I’m also a sucker for great art! Kingdom Death Monster, Nemesis, Fury of Dracula, Inis, Dungeonquest are my favourites :)

They are great! Oh god, I’m going to have to buy them now aren’t I 😂🤦‍♂️

I think I’d be more tempted to switch things up if we were winning more. We lose the majority of games we play. Hopeless! Love it all the same. What other games are you into?

I must have missed that there are official minis for these things 🤦‍♂️ if you mean the other aliens, in terms of the different expansion content, I’ve not actually tried any! I don’t play it super often, so we always just go for the standard setup. We even use the beginner layout haha

😂😂😂 I really want to look this up out of curiosity but can’t face the irreparable damage it would do to my algorithm

Good to see you on here, Tomas! Vamos! ❤️

I agree with you on lockdown! I prefer the original. I picked up the new one as I’m keen to see what they do with it. It sounds like it is different enough to justify owning both. I’m jealous of your printing skills!! I can barely work a paper printer 😂

Yeah, I really love it. I’ve got the third edition, which I think is practically identical to the fourth edition. It’s a game I keep coming back to - that and Nemesis are my top two. Hope you find a copy 🤞

I've followed your progress on the Facebook design group. Really pleased for you. It's a great accomplishment

Lush, Thomas! Here we have Vlad and Ragnar. I also selfishly worked them into Damnation as event cards - couldn’t resist!

Thank you - the art is by Tomas Hijo, who is just an absolute legend. Was thrilled to work with him on it ❤️

Started with Heroquest when I was about 8 years old. Top 3 games at the moment would be Nemesis, Fury of Dracula and Mind MGMT.

A game I really like is Nemesis, and an unrelated thing that makes me happy is travelling :)
