I love how well this game captures the meta-ness of playing a CCG. It just nails its theme dead on. For new players I usually tell them to find a cool card, keep as many cards that make the cool card better, and cobble together a collection to pawn off with the excess. That's more of a general plan than a detailed strategy but it gives them something to work with. From there you can do whatever and actually compete. Thank goodness you only have to do the assembly once though, otherwise it'd be a no-go. Keeping a shop deck ready to go in the box and only tweaking it if you really want to will save you a ton of time.

One correction about the Meta Cards: You don't get 15 points for every card showing the right Type/Element. You get a _one time_ bonus of 15 points per Meta Card, if at least one of your cards corresponds to the respective Type/Element.

Tip: Don't sort the store deck after playing. Just keep it assembled, play a few games with that particular store deck, and then eventually replace a few of the expansions.

I'm happy to see that you're willing to talk about more involved games like this, it's very refreshing, to me personally.(I don't know if I'm allowed to make requests, but I would love to hear your thoughts on Gloomhaven. Also Mystic Vale, it takes a really fresh approach to Deck-Building mechanics and is a lot of fun.)
@pimentoloaf15094 жыл бұрын
Hey have you heard of/had a chance to try that new game from Jon D. Claire? It has Darkness in the title...the whole deal was when he pitched it to AEG, they thought the public were not ready for it, so they stripped out the card crafting aspect and put out Mystic Vale. Anyway. .. Not a lot of people know that, so I thought you might like to know about it. I disliked Mystic Vale because there was very little a player could do to interact with others around the table, but Edge of Darkness(?) Looks cool.

Love Millennium blades! One thing I wanted to point out that I didn't see in the comments, is that for players who are more strategy-oriented and the timed live deck-building system is too overwhelming but still want to play the game, there are rules for a turn-based mode where the deckbuilding and tournament phases are combined and players take turns doing one specific thing (buying a card, selling a card, playing a single, or triggering a scoring phase), and once you trigger 3 scoring phases you're done playing. Obviously it's not the recommended way, but it is an option!

It is also worth mentioning that the updated rules (from the upcoming Collusion expansion), says to keep the Core cards in a pile separate from the store deck with the expansion-, premium- and master-sets. You can always buy the top card of the core-deck. This make set up significantly easier since you now only have the mix and shuffle about 150 cards, instead 400 into one pile.

Once they're returned, we make sure all the pieces are accounted for. I HATE this game only for the reason of making sure all 600 some odd cards are there and that they are in their respective expansions/sets. If you check out a game from your library, please bring it back better than you found it!!
