Hey thats my line!

Seventh Citadel! It's a great game. I really wanted to like 7th Continent, but it was too esoteric and the winning conditions weren't quite what I wanted. But 7th Citadel solved all those problems. (...that store isn't Games Plus, is it?) Re: Card games. Have you tried any of Fantasy Flight's cooperative card games? The Marvel LCG is excellent. :) Arkham Horror! Second or third edition?

Have you played Dominions? That's a good deckbuilder that isn't too adversarial, and there's so many cards that you can have some VERY different feeling games. Also, there are some cool coop deckbuilders like Aeon's End that you might like.

Nah you're right, race for the galaxy is WAY better then roll! However if you like that and want something more meaty you should try Terraforming Mars: Aries Expedition. It uses similar mechanics, but you interact a little more, and you get the oppitunity to play a lot more cards over the game to build your own engine

The idea of co-op board/card games sounds neet. Time pressures could subtitue competition as a source of tension and "100 rounds to beat the crisis" or such gives you a clear idea that youll be able to finish in an evening. Also CCGs really need a point buy/cap system for decks, it makes for more interesting builds and opens the game up to "low cost" matches.

There are quite a few already!

I beat this game without prestiging. Took 11 hours to buy all upgrades then it was a matter of leaving it alone for like a day to coast to victory. I think this is the second idle game I beat without prestiging...

I just 100% this game. Took about two days on and off plus idle. 8/10. Wish there was more characters and such but its fine.

Incremental soup will come one day

CCGs being pay to win is part of why why I prefer things like Dominion where you buy cards in game (with fake game currency and not real money) to build your deck as part of the game instead of before the game. Dominion is also more point engine game then attack other players game(although curse decks to deck bloat you opponents do exist, sometimes; the available cards change from game to game so the offensive options vary and might not even exist.

42:00 you can turn off turret in the middle (and possibly other stuff?) so there are more blobs thet are not killed and in the way

If you find yourself in central MA there is That's Enterainment which might have a better selection them those other stores

Is this going in the soup?

How about you play a MTG in the style of MTG tournaments then? Everyones on equal footing then.

this game has a super short life span sadly...

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I'll always take a short but satisfying game over a long & drawn-out one, because even if it's still satisfying, the novelty wears off after 10-20 hours and few games can overcome that.

That’s a good point, most games fail to reach that amount of hours, even fewer fail to match the heights of good replay value

Magic the Gathering is pretty vulnerable to pay-to-win, but you know what TCG absolutely dropped off of any to-play list of mine? Yu-gi-oh I tried a mobile Yu-gi-oh game a while back, very briefly, but the hyper-modern decks that play up to a 4000/4000 invincible self-re-summoning nonsense beast on turn 1 by cycling half the deck through the graveyard... Well, if you don't shell out ruinous amounts for a full "modern" synergy-deck, there's no point playing. Playing a deck from the early years against a new one feels like taking a just-left-the-tutorial character in an MMO into an end game PvP duel - pure pointlessness.

Magic isn't a pay-to-play unless you're using its digital platform then it's absolute garbage. Physical magic is imo superior because it forces everyone to play at a more even playing field. Having the right group matters as well. All in all most ppl lose because they don't know how to deck build and they don't know the game well. Magics official rulebook is ridiculously long.

You clearly have had different experiences with MTG than I have. There's a major difference between someone playing a premade deck and someone with something they've built up from scratch and fine-tuned for success. So unless everyone you're playing with is on the same page & budget, chances are someone's going to outspend the others and ruin the vibe.

@@wanderbots I used to play MTG a lot. And while people spending big did give them an advantage sometimes, it wasn't also true. Once had a FNM standard tournament and the winner had bought 2 of the same prebuild, mashed them together, and beat everyone who had decks MUCH more expensive then theirs. Was really funny to watch the big spenders be so miserable about losing to him as well. But if you want to stick to MTG, commander decks are much easier to do with a low budget as you only need 1 of each card, so there's no point trying to just outspend as it has a lot less success.
