The game is where it belongs:
Not the best place for the box, admittedly.
I tracked that copy down last month and after our first game Des demanded that we play it 9 more times before New Year's. My 10x10 resolution this year faded into a distant memory around the same time we started weekly Warcry games, so it was fun to look at my 2022 Dimes thus far.
1) Warcry
2) Yomi
3) Puzzle Strike
4) Street Masters
5) Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom
6) Die Schlacht Der Dinosaurier
I'm a few plays away from adding D&D Attack Wing, WQ: Silver Tower, and Camp Grizzly, but that last title will be a wild card. Maybe I'll play 6 more games of Anachrony? Maybe I'll bring Tumblin Dice to Thanksgiving.

I played it two handed, found it super easy until I realized I was doing it wrong. Afterwards, it was more of a challenge and decently enjoyable.

Marvel Champions: The Card Game 43
Aeon's End 28
51st State: Master Set 25
Ark Nova 17
SolForge Fusion 15
Star Realms 12
The Guild of Merchant Explorers 10
I'm predicting Solforge to end up significantly higher, and Clash of Cultures to maybe make it.

Don't listen to our Ark Nova episode.
I'm interested in why you went after 51st State instead of the new one with the cultures . . . whose name I am drawing a blank on. Imperial Settlers! I really liked 51st State but my buddy traded it away for Imperial Settlers instead, which I'd like to take another shot at as well.

I'm able to enjoy a game while other people don't enjoy a game without taking it personally Ark Nova certainly has things I can easily see people not digging, but I personally really like it. Plus it's hyped to high heaven so I don't think I need to rush to it's defense or anything
My understanding is 51st State Master Set came out after Imperial Settlers and folded some of the rules changes etc from IS back into 51st State. Mainly I got it because my interest was piqued when the new version was on Gamefound so I made some trade offers for it. Got a really good trade offer, and then it also had all the OOP expansion stuff thrown in unadvertised too. Without having played IS, I like the post apocalyptic theme/art and the fact that everyone plays from the central deck rather than having faction specific decks. I'm sure IS is cool too though, it's just a really fun system. Plus my dad got really into 51st state after I got it, so we've been racking up a lot of plays during our weekly "hang out, drink coffee, play boardgames" mornings.

Alas, "my" copy of 51st State got traded away by its rightful owner. So I likely won't get another bite at it.

And the ridiculously huge expensive new version of 51st State will be out early next year, if you for some reason want a massive oversized box that costs a hundred dollars

Then we swapped roles, with my partner thinking that the player who goes first (the ghost) has the advantage. But the second game was much closer, when I was able to make her Forget a Force of Will that she tried to play on me and then was able to steal a Subterfuge to advance the turn counter to Friday, knowing that the one Control card she could play on the last day likely wouldn't be sufficient to change the board to threaten my lead. She had 3 cards left in her Mind and controlled enough tiles for a +4 bonus, while I had 7 left in my Mind and enough tiles for a +2 bonus, giving me the win, 9-7. She still thinks the ghost has the edge because she goes first. I told her that it might be a slight advantage, like white in chess, but I think the ability for the ghost to run out to a sizable lead but an inability to protect it might be where the balance comes in. And, despite me going first, the second game was razor close, which is what you want out of most games. Another great effort, Jim. Thanks.
