Definitiv, aber ich denke das ist auch so gewollt vom Design her. Ansonsten besteht zu wenig Druck zur Kooperation.

Vijayanagara hat ja eine ähnliche Dynamik, jedoch nicht ganz so zwingend. Hier spielt man oft so ein bisschen neben sich her bis es zu voll wird, was mir nicht ganz so gut gefällt.

Richtig tolles Spiel! Gerade die von Dir beschriebene Dynamik macht für mich den Reiz des Spiels aus. Dieses nicht auf sich schauen dürfen von Reformern und NPA und das abpassen des richtigen Zeitpunktes wann man die "Allianz" verlässt, finde ich grandios. 👌🏼

Interesting thoughts on Drachen. stopped reading after 1812. Now I don't know if I will like Drachen if I love 1812. 😅

Thanks, already did that. Looks and sounds amazing. Happy that it's getting the VUCA treatment, so its also gonna be a pleasure to the eye. Did some research and was shocked not that many other people had the idea to do a game about that topic. really looking forward to the release of the game.

Now this looks very interesting. Just started to play Atlantic Chase and now I'm really interested in WW2 naval warfare. A game in the mediteranian is something i'm really looking for. Where can I find more info about the game?

I got this in my shelf for quite a while. HOTS made me a little hesitant on bringing it to the table. But after what you said I think I should at least give it a try. Thanks.

Will I like Crusader Rex more, if I think Hammer of the Scots is only an ok game? 🤔

Cool! I'm learning this game right now. Gonna be my winter project.

Ohh, I sense another game about student riots!? Loving it already. Never enough rioting. 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, played SNCF the other day. Super chill game. Dutch Intercity waits to get played, heard it's pretty cut throat and looking forward to bring it to the table.

Lots of train games, plus a very funny and a very beautiful game.

Ich denke mechanisch ist es auch einzigartig. Steht leider 2 Jahre schon ungespielt herum. 🫠

Well, it's a lot of to digest with a rulebook, a advanced rules book, a Tutorial book and a scenarios book. But I will take my time. If others have conquered it, why shouldn't I? 😅

Sorry @amabel.bsky.social , the podcast is in German, maybe there's a tool to translate it. I think you might like it, we were really impressed by Doubt is our product. Hope we interpreted it right. It Gabe us enough thoughts to talk for an hour over it. 😅
