Excellent recommendation! I, too, enjoy rewriting rulebooks to learn certain games. Might need to go back to that, although it’s always nice to have a lot of different tools available. Thanks for sharing the link!

The other thing I’d recommend as a learning tool is a playthrough video – I used the Beyond Solitaire one. (I don’t normally do videos for learning, but it worked for me.) I’d love to rewrite the rulebook for this, the way I do with many games, but all those special symbols make it technically difficult.

I played this for my 10×10 last year and I enjoyed it, I’ll play it again, but if thieves broke in and stole my copy I might well not replace it.

I talked about this more in the first episode of More Games Than Time, so I’m changing the link behind my name to point there.

Thanks! It looks like I have the second edition rulebook, but this seems like a game that gets better as you experience it a little more and understand what’s going on. Ended up playing a couple of times today… And suffice to say I’m definitely enjoying it more as I go on!

Hence why I try to give honest first impressions, yet point out how a lot of it might just be me reacting to things I don’t quite grasp. Games are very subjective! So it looks like I may not end up loving this one, yet I want to play some more. That should say it all. Ha ha!

Beyond that, well, there are a lot of games that take the form “tweak your deck and try to get enough of the right icons in your hand”, but I’ve had fun with this one.
