I think it's still firmly in a niche space of heavy games but does look to alleviate some of the pain points of their earlier games.

Hah, Mark and I were just discussing this phenomenon. I figured they must be ordering in extra copies in waves.

They're decent but didn't taste enough like chicken for my tastes (having grown up with 'chicken' as a default chip flavor)

It took me a while to come around on all dressed but I still refuse to acknowledge ketchup as a reasonable flavor (I'm just salty that chicken flavor isn't a thing here)

Oh for sure, i just mean that internalizing the language of trick takers probably helps to a degree. Or maybe it's more of a distraction in mixed expectations.

Good to know, it certainly looks relatively elegant, assuming some familiarity with trick taking.

Looking at the rulebook for Arcs and it looks to avoid my least favorite elements of Root/Oath in their rules reading like a legal textbook. At a glance it has a fantastic layout. How's everyone finding the teach for it?

I really liked my limited experience with Oath but it was such a beast to learn, it really needs a dedicated group to internalize it's systems.

Root really needs the right group (and Oath even more so). I've been trying to revisit Root for years but can't get my current group coordinated for it. I want to believe that Arcs is more accessible, at least it plays better at lower player counts.

It's easy to be cynical when a review starts with 'best game ever' but this goes far beyond hype to well reasoned exuberance. I've struggled with Root and Oath so had held off on Arcs but it's breed of improvisational tactics and vibes-based strategy has me intrigued.

This feels like a symptom of a broad trend across the internet and the pivot to video, that everything needs to be communicated in that format, and everyone needs to be an expert in how to produce it. It's so tiring.

Paladins of the West Kingdom was the first game of the trilogy I tried. Perhaps fitting that City of Crowns is the last of the trilogies expansions I get to. It blows the game open with a much less deterministic and more interactive experience. But in the process erases some of what made it special.

Hey new folks! I run New Mill Industries and my mission is to publish new trick taking and climbing games from the US and reprint older out of print Japanese trick takers/climbers, in small-ish quantities (usually 500 copies).
I don't really post much about other games.
