While I like the concept of the game, I find the amount of key words and rules to juggle cumbersome and my GF was unable to get a handle on what to do.

What’s your experience with sticking with the game? Any tipps that helped you internalize the gameplay?

PS I’ve already tried in solo but it’s even more fiddly that way.

    One more thing, although I never played it with more than 2 players total, I think Tom Vasel on Dicetower said the downtime with 3 and 4 is crazy long.

    Have fun with your group and hopefully with your GF too!

      Including teaching we got our 3 player game done in a little under 3 hours. This is just about still tolerable. I would nnot play this with 4. My friends have reserved their judgement till after next time but so far it wasn’t a huge success or failure either way. While we had the gameplay pretty much down pat towards the end of the game, we’re still grasping for anything remotely like a strategy though…

      GF mentioned that she will probably try it again with me seeing as we didn’t hate it…

      Yeah I’ve read that as a common criticism. That’s why I tried it solo first which was meh, then with just my GF. Tonight we should only be 2 or 3 to play so hopefully it wont be too bad.
