The Board Games thread

It's me again - the only guy in the thread!

Finished The King's Dilemma this evening, and I have to say, it actually stuck the landing pretty well for us.

Without spoilers: the finale is very different, but in a way we found fascinating, and despite a lot of conniving and coordination in each of the Council(/player) factions, the whole thing turned out nail-bitingly close.

Definitely recommended, especially if you have a regular 5 to play with - though I'd also suggest everyone pick one of the more distinctive/divisive houses; if our campaign had a weakness, it was that a couple of the houses encourage neutrality a lot of the time.

Next week: Oath! Or Nemesis! Or Betrayal! Or…

I bought Compile this morning. It's early days but I think I have a new favourite card game.

If you've played Air Land & Sea or Marvel Snap, it's basically that but, I think, better.

And it's very pretty too.

I saw the SUSD review of that the other day, they were very keen on it.

I haven't seen the SUSD video but the fact that it exists means that the game is now sold out everywhere.
