With my homemade projects, I always use spray varnish. And if I don't have the semi-gloss (or satin), I spray a coat of glossy and then, when it has dried completely, I spray a thin coat of matte varnish. It keeps everything much more liquid resistant.

@@caostt2k2 thank you for the comment! I've wondered how putting a matt or satin coat on top of a gloss would turn out?
@caostt2k242 минут бұрын
@@rollingwiththebeard Well, it's a subjective matter... For my needs, the results are great! But it is up to many factors: how thick is the coat of varnish applied, the brand and quality of both the varnish and the original card, tiles or tokens... I prefer the semi-glossy or satin spray varnish, but I sometimes can't find it. So, matte over glossy it is. But always a very thin coat of matte just enough to diminish the glow... It is all trial and error...

This is a really fair review. I almost didn’t get this because of all the negative reviews about the cards (valid criticism) but I love the game actually - you do get used to the iconography, its pretty fast to look up cards in the appendix - probably best with 2 or 3 though as you will have to pass the booklet around as you point out. Still, interesting fun game with tonnes of re-playability due to the dice and the high number of cards.

I was under the impression that during the auction, the last player has to pay the value of the cards. For example, if there are 4 3-cost cards, the last player has to pay 12 stash. I was thinking that provided an incentive to aggressively bid to not be left last but maybe I’m wrong.
