There are definitely some nice dice mitigation factors from the assets! Although luck still plays a role, it’s interesting to find some great card combinations that might grant extra successes in certain scenarios. Bring limited to 6 assets is also a fun challenge… I usually want them all but am forced to choose in order to find the most optimal choices.

(On the other hand aiming a game at my tastes is generally not consistent with having a big success.)

Ha ha! Oh, there is definitely a return to Obsession in the not-too-distant future. So much storytelling there… Although so much different from the ones that come out of this world!

“I hope I can sort of do the same here …”
Oh definitely. I enjoy your stories. May it be about a Halfling or The York’s victory over the Tudors.

Glad I could help out! We can’t love every game out there, and there are some I know aren’t for me. I still enjoy reading about how others are having fun, even if I won’t add it to my collection. I hope I can sort of do the same here with some entertaining stories that don’t require anyone else to live through the frustrations with bad dice rolls!

I always want to know more about the mechanics, however, because in this case, “the more polarizing element of gameplay”, really gets to me. I don’t like the – what I call – “Arkham Success”. I don’t want to chuck 100 dice only to have 4 and bellow.
Your prevoius post showed me, what it can be, this showed me what it probably won’t be for me.
Which is a pity, because it looks amazing. Even the dice look so good. I can see that a lot of effort went into this game.
Your pictures do the rest 🙂
