Hands in the Sea ►►► Inspired by "A Few Acres of Snow"

[@neiderhauser77]

I'm actually in the camp where I think the art direction is a vast improvement to the stale maps we typically see in war games - without personality. To have it match the Greco-Roman pottery I think is a cool nod to past art influences. Looks like a great war game - thanks for the coverage! The only gripe is I wish the price point was lower than 74 euros. Think the margins are large on this game.

I think the clean design would be a bit spoiled by additional location iconography. A location/card manifest from the publisher or from fans as was made for A Few Acres of Snow will be a vital play aid though. This is one of my favorite games - one of my five "10s" of ~600 BGG rated games.

One of the grestest deck builder duel I know!

Looks super cool but you played Star realms!?

[@francoismailly7380]

@@georgefothergill4858 I have, I must say i really like Cthulu realms. But this is another level, more meaty, crunchy and deep

I wonder if it has a "Halifax Hammer" -- time will tell

[@elqord.1118]

No it doesn’t. This game is not new. It is a remaster and Hands in the Sea has stood the test of time as one of the best out there

Just threw-up in my mouth when I first saw the board…and then the cards?!?? I can appreciate someone might like this aesthetic, but for me it’s just that - interesting graphic design but I’d dread to sit in front of this IRL. What a step backwards with uninspired art….thankfully I have the 2nd reprint from 2017 (or ‘16). Regardless I hope it successfully (somehow) gets in hands of more people who enjoy the gameplay!

I played this game when it came out in 2016. I didn’t much care for it, but at least it looked good. This rendition is utterly hideous. A map board with black water? What on earth were they thinking? I can only hope they improved the gameplay.

I think it looks really good!

[@elqord.1118]

I adore this game but this new art style looks so cold and wasted an opportunity to provide some absolute spectacular art on cards etc
