"Definitely earned a permanent spot in my collection, especially in the travel game slot. It's going to take a lot more plays to master." [SGOYT]
2019-08-15
"Each game takes just a few very thoughtful minutes. Relaxing but with lots of brain activity." [SGOYT]
2019-08-15
"If you like Sprawlopolis or Limes, you're a fool if you don't try this too. And vice versa." [SGOYT]
2019-08-15
"This really is a fantastic game. I'm keeping it and am not interested in seeking anything else that scratches the same itch, though I'm also keeping Dawn of the Zeds. They're quite different." [SGOYT]
2019-08-15
"Fast, layered, attractive, and the campaign mode is great. Reminds me of a heavier All Creatures Big and Small." [SGOYT]
2019-08-15
"Relaxing, short and the decisions are just interesting enough." [SGOYT]
2019-08-15
"Heaviest worker placement in my collection other than Vinhos, but not that long to play. Excellent and satisfying." [SGOYT]
2019-08-15
"Brain-burning optimization game of worker placement. You have to choose actions as much for the bonuses as for the actions themselves, which is quite interesting. Deeply satisfying." [SGOYT]
2019-07-29
"Better than Lost Expedition due to a better decision space. I suspect it's nearly the same as The Lost Expedition with the expansion though. I've not tried that." [SGOYT]
2017-09-11
"The fool nearly died in the first few days, but he behaved with a little sense ever after that. He died anyway." [SGOYT]
2017-09-11
"The pirates thought the fool had treasure or something. I bet he said he did. Anyway, they killed him." [SGOYT]
2017-09-08
"Shahrazad looks like my nomination for best game for the shortest time possible. Shephy is its only competition for a 5-10 minute solo game." [SGOYT]
2017-09-01
"Satisfying mechanics and surprisingly capable of being somewhat thematic despite being a somewhat abstract deckbuilding game. Clever, fast, and puzzly." [SGOYT]
2017-09-01
"I think I need to play more scenarios before deciding that I'd rather only own Perdition's Mouth, Gloomhaven, and Claustrophobia. Are no other miniature crawl games needed?" [SGOYT]
2017-08-31
"It's really great. It's like Mage Knight with much easier rules and nearly the same quality of brain burning and nearly the same amount of brain burning." [SGOYT]
2017-08-27
"It's easy enough to be a gateway game, but it has a lot of meaningful strategy AND tactics, even when playing against a bot that just draws a card to determine its next move, without the fancier fan-…" [SGOYT]
2017-08-19
"This is the game that inspired my interest in painting minis at all." [SGOYT]
2017-08-19
"Everyone is right. It's great. I'm not sure if it's [i]special[/i] exactly. It does worker placement really well." [SGOYT]
2017-08-19
"Lots of fun. Super satisfying as an engine builder, which is pretty much all that's going on here." [SGOYT]
2017-08-08
"This is the super-puzzle hard version of Pandemic with lots of neat mechanics and a great thematic atmosphere that feels like Harry Potter. As far as I can tell, it's the peak of the sub-genre." [SGOYT]
2017-08-01
"I made a lot of progress clearing my unplayed games list this month." [SGOYT]
2017-07-30
"It, at least temporarily, is doing what I like about Mage Knight, but without edge case rules to look up." [SGOYT]
2017-07-26
"I'm not sure if this is what I hoped it would be. It's good, fun, and involves interesting decisions. They're not interesting enough in the hardest version of the introductory scenario, but that's to…" [SGOYT]
2017-07-25
"Wow, this is pleasant and thinky. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys Walnut Grove or, of course, Glen More (which this is an improved remake of.)" [SGOYT]
2017-07-25
"I went far enough the first scenario to see this should be good to play with my daughter when she's older, which is the reason I own it. I'm putting it away with the stuff that's for her." [SGOYT]
2017-07-25
"Too much rules/fiddliness overhead and too long of a game length with too little payoff due to the random nature of the game. There does seem to be a thinky puzzle buried underneath that which would …" [SGOYT]
2017-07-25
"Way too much randomness and upkeep for a game that is so simple and unrewarding by comparison. Culling this." [SGOYT]
2017-07-20
"It's all combat, making it a hack and slash overland crawl that's all about the puzzle instead of waiting to see if your plans will be confirmed by dice. Very satisfying." [SGOYT]
2017-07-17
"Unknown is amazingly fun in ways that feel like Endless Dungeon combined with Don't Starve." [SGOYT]
2017-07-15
"I recommend it as one of the best deckbuilders I've ever played, but I'm not sure it replaces the other ones I own, personally." [SGOYT]
2017-07-14
"Very fun and very worthwhile, especially if you turn up the difficulty." [SGOYT]
2017-07-13
"Assault on Doomrock is an excellent game that only pales in comparison to Too Many Bones." [SGOYT]
2017-07-09
"It's very easy to learn, especially considering its age, its heavy fantasy theme, and how tense, thematic, and meaningful the decisions are. It's an incredibly elegant design." [SGOYT]
2017-07-06
"This is notably different than other solo deckbuilding games. I see why some love it so much." [SGOYT]
2017-07-04
"Did I score high? Did I score low? I don't care. Dice. It doesn't matter. Something about an octopus. Culling this." [SGOYT]
2017-06-27
"It's a great, great game, but it will always remain difficult to justify not selling it." [SGOYT]
2017-06-25
"Too much to deal with. Not interested in learning it." [SGOYT]
2017-06-25
"I prefer Shadowrun Crossfire and The Lost Expedition for short-medium hand management games." [SGOYT]
2017-06-25
"Still loving this. Second game. Score: 13. Much worse this time." [SGOYT]
2017-06-16
"Elegant. The first challenge was too easy. I hope I played wrong, but they probably just made a throwaway first scenario." [SGOYT]
2017-06-16
"It does not replace Shadows of Malice at all, but anyone who wants a simpler, shorter game to play alongside it should have a look." [SGOYT]
2017-06-10
"It's all set up and beautiful. I've never seen a prettier game." [SGOYT]
2017-06-06
"Everything about this seems very tight and thinky. I'm loving it so far." [SGOYT]
2017-06-04
"It's like an especially easy to learn VPG game, but with worker placement as the main mechanic." [SGOYT]
2017-06-02
"Much more fun than Cruel Necessity, but it can't compare to Zulus on the Ramparts." [SGOYT]
2017-05-25
"My rating may drop to 4 if I don't find a way to beat luck." [SGOYT]
2017-05-25
"Funny how sometimes 131 sheep are on fire in a big meteor hole and it doesn't really seem to matter." [SGOYT]
2017-05-25
"Everything is great. We ate some grass. Now we can only see sheep. Where is the ground? Last we saw, it was bloody and black with the bodies of our enemies." [SGOYT]
2017-05-25
"We are one thousand sheep. We killed all the black sheep. We liked to do that." [SGOYT]
2017-05-25
"All the sheep were killed by the black sheep population explosion." [SGOYT]
2017-05-25
"Wow. This is so fun. I was afraid I wouldn't like it after Cruel Necessity failed for me due to RNG." [SGOYT]
2017-05-09
"Saltlands has great exploration, movement, and fleeing. It's tense and exciting and not too long." [SGOYT]
2017-05-09
"There aren't many decisions to make, but each one is a luck-pushing doozy that pulls off the roguelike/dungeon-delving RPG theme very well." [SGOYT]
2017-05-07
"It's like Hostage Negotiator with less randomness, more puzzle, similar tension, and weird component quality." [SGOYT]
2017-05-01
"My fingers are darker than they were earlier today." [SGOYT]
2017-04-29
"Fun system. Should be great with Emily who loves engine building, but she may be put off by not finishing the engine at much capacity." [SGOYT]
2017-04-29
"Lost three more times, but it's just more and more fun each time because the card draw makes me try new things! There's so much strategic variety" [SGOYT]
2017-04-28
"Though Herbaceous is a very light game, decisions are interesting. It will probably be even better as a filler with others, but the solo is worth it for me. Fun!" [SGOYT]
2017-04-28
"The Android app is recommendable, as far as I can tell at this point, after my third game." [SGOYT]
2017-04-28
"Dark Dealings is now smushed into roughly the same category for me as games like Onirim, but with much faster setup. It's not as good as expanded Onirim." [SGOYT]
2017-04-27
"Still losing, still fun, still not in danger of surpassing other casual games in my collection." [SGOYT]
2017-04-27
"Lost with one hero remaining in low luck, no memory variant" [SGOYT]
2017-04-26
"Herbaceous is a good puzzle, though it might have a little more randomness than I prefer - though I don't think it work without that randomness." [SGOYT]
2017-04-23
"Shadows of Malice is an excellent RPG-esque adventure that convinced me to sell Eldritch Horror" [SGOYT]
2017-04-20
"I think I just don't understand how to plan properly." [SGOYT]
2017-04-18
"Mostly straightforward and fun, until you realize you have nothing to compare your score to. My time was 6:40. What does that mean?" [SGOYT]
2017-04-18
"I think anyone who likes Limes and doesn't get a headache from learning this will greatly enjoy playing it over and over. It's harder work, but it's very satisfying." [SGOYT]
2017-04-14
"Addictive, tiny, "one more turn" roguelike-like. Thrilling and fast." [SGOYT]
2017-04-11
"Fast and fairly fun. Too random without using the recommended variant. Will use the low-luck variant next time." [SGOYT]
2017-04-11
"Expansions add more to think about, making it more of a puzzle." [SGOYT]
