Have you played Mysterium? Have you seen the new " Have you played Mysterium? Have you seen the new "Refresh" edition?Mysterium is a classic game for larger groups. The rules are fairly simple, it plays quickly, and the mechanics are clever. Mysterium Refresh celebrates the 10th anniversary of the game's release and comes with changes to the components and rules.This new edition streamlines the gameplay. Some rules have been changed slightly, but most importantly, the clairvoyance system is now an optional expansion (with the same rules as before), which makes the base game more straightforward.There have also been some small changes to the components. The biggest ones are larger envelopes, and the big chunky clock from the original being replaced by a small stopwatch. I would have kept the clock in the game if it were up to me.If you already own the game, there is no reason to buy this new edition. But if you don't, this version is the one to get.Please keep in mind that we received a review copy of this game.#boardgame #boardgames #tabletop
Have you played Duel for Cardia?Duel for Cardia Have you played Duel for Cardia?Duel for Cardia is a clever 2-player game with straightforward rules and a quick playtime. Every round, each player plays a card from their hand of five (out of a deck of 16 with influence values of 1 to 16). Then both cards are revealed simultaneously. The card with the higher influence value wins the encounter, but the power of the card that lost the duel is activated. You can win the game by winning 5 encounters, if your opponent runs out of cards, or by activating a power on a card that says you win the game.The card powers are the reason why this game is interesting! These powers can affect previous and future encounters, and the order in which you play them is very important. You can't keep losing encounters just for the powers and need to win some, but you should always consider the possibility of losing the encounter and activating powers even when you aim for winning it. That means you are faced with interesting decisions to make every round.The game comes with two different sets of decks for more variety and location cards with various difficulty levels that introduce rule-breakers to change one aspect of the game. The box is also small with no wasted space, which makes it easy to pack and take with you traveling. Overall, Duel for Cardia is excellent for quick two-player sessions of 10-15 minutes.What are your thoughts? Have you played this game?#boardgame #boardgames #juegosdemesa
Have you played Yokohama or Yokohama Duel?Yokoha Have you played Yokohama or Yokohama Duel?Yokohama is one of our favorite games, but we had never played Yokohama Duel. They share similarities, but they are different games and play differently. After Tasty Minstrel Games (TMG) closed its doors a few years ago, Synapses Games picked up the rights to Yokohama. They published a revised version of the original game with better art and components a couple of years ago. Now, the new edition of the Duel game has also been released.I like the new editions a lot more. The art is far cleaner and the components are improved. I know there was a deluxe version of both games published by TMG, and I believe the new edition also has deluxe components, but comparing only the standard versions, the new edition is much better.The Duel game feels different from playing the original game with two players. I can easily see some people liking one and not the other. But we equally enjoy both. Yokohama is an excellent game at all player counts, but the Duel version doesn't feel as tight as the original and plays faster. It also comes in a much smaller box.What are your thoughts? Have you played the Duel game?Please keep in mind that we received a review copy of this game.#boardgame #boardgames #juegosdemesa
Do you like Splendor? Have you seen Splendor Kids? Do you like Splendor? Have you seen Splendor Kids?Splendor Kids, the latest addition to the Splendor lineup, is a light and straightforward implementation of Splendor designed to play with kids.Instead of cards, the game comes with a board with multiple paths and players race to reach the castle at the top of the board with their pawn. During your turn, you either collect resources or move your pawn up a path. The resource collection rules are the same as collecting gems in Splendor, but instead of purchasing cards, you move up a path.All players have the same number of turns, and everyone who manages to reach the castle wins.As expected, the rules are very straightforward, the artwork is excellent for the target audience, and the gameplay is quite fun for young kids. Getting this game for adults wouldn't make sense since the original Splendor exists, but if you have a little one, this game can be a perfect option.Please keep in mind that we received a review copy of this game.#boardgame #boardgames #tabletop
