Looks like the main card exchange is open until 11/19.For those who missed the Secret Santa sign up, GM Octavian. He said he would be handling those on an individual basis this year.

by Aabon williamlark wrote:You can fish after resolving all of the chips requirements. A battle or field event isn't required to happen to be able to fish, but if you draw a skull chip or choose to resolve a field event because you've added a third cube on the field card, then they must happen before fishing. If you draw a compass and choose to continue exploring (no battle or event), you may still fish since there are no more chip actions to resolve.Hi Will, that seems to conflict with what the designer said in this, and also with the rules, which don’t say “after resolving all chip requirements.” Rather the rules say after a Battle or Field Event is resolved.

by DevouringRossus Doesn't bother me much but it still feels a strange decision to make.

by SnowDragonka Related Item: Primal: The Awakening This is a game I fell in love with even before it came to crowdfunding and I love it to this day after receiving it. My only issue is that I can't play as much these days, because two handing can take quite a long time to play. But it's one of my most beloved games. I love the visuals, the card play, the monster reactions, everything just falls in place perfectly for me for a lovely dynamic puzzle. And each monster is so different. And both campaign (which is short, another plus for me) and one-offs are equally enjoyable to play. This is a keeper. I basically store everything in the expansion boxes it came with.

I think that it covers a long timespan and leaders can die unexpectedly.2) The SCS series are good for that because there isn't a lot of hidden information. If you're interested in D-Day, The Mighty Endeavor, might be the one.3) A Victory Awaits: Operation Barbarossa 1941 uses a chit-draw mechanism, which means you can't predict which formation will move next. That might allow some interesting play solo.

by vlad48 I've been inspired to do my own version of the game concept (lots of accumulated game materials). I thought a good mechanic was to give the Monsters a phase after the heroes in which they can either attack the hero for one strike (heros ONLY defend) or, if alone, they can move 1 space towards the heroes. Then the APs would begin again; as I don't own the commercial game not sure if this would work but that's my idea.
