Good point! I’ll have to think about that some more as I think about my learning process with rulebooks. I definitely struggle more with the ones that have random exceptions, rather than the ones that have clear top-level rules that apply in practically every case.

I don’t have a problem when an asymmetric faction bends a rule or a card provides a special bonsu, yet it’s when those principles have special cases directly in the rulebook that I get more confused. Or the worst case… When an exception exists, but there are no rules to explain how to fully handle it.

It was shocking and I actually redid my rating a few times to see if I was being unfair, but unfortunately, this was where it fell. The artwork is definitely something to admire! Just wish there was more of a game underneath the surface to enjoy. Hopefully, it finds it audience or someone who creates an unoffical solo mode that’s fun and challenging!

You’re welcome, and I appreciate the kind words! The worst feeling for me is when a game doesn’t work for me, especially one I’m excited about. I hope I was still able to point out some of the positives here, though, and although it won’t be sticking around for multiplayer, it sounds like that’s where it might work a little better.
