Very thematic with the choices you make. Thanks for sharing Jamie.

Deck building game with factions with special mechanisms, not deck building during the game itself but prior to the game, Star Wars Unlimited the TCG haha. Not what you were asking about but it’s incredible, has factions, abilities, and mechanisms of sorts.

Just got my preorder copy about a week or two back, and I already own the original. Looking forward to a little Star Wars paradoxical gameplay with the Empire (Darth Vader) vs. the Republic (Anakin Skywalker), or maybe Luke and the Rebels vs. Anakin (I will be your father).

Which box cover did you choose as the one to be the lid for your combined set?? I typically always combine stand alone games, expansions etc into one box. It’s nice to have one box with everything, and save space. But I can’t choose between either box art here, so I’m keeping both, what a twist. I just got Targi and the ex, put everything in the ex box bc that cover is prettier.

We ended up going with the classic original box lid but the new box bottom. :)

When the og game came out I was skeptical about its value given how similar it looked on paper to games like star realms and shards of infinity. But after playing it myself I understood the appeal. It's such a thematic fun game with simple yet novel mechanics. Can't wait to see what the new decks bring to the game!

[@jameystegmaier]

I'm glad you gave it a try! I'd love to see the galaxy row here combined with the mastery mechanism in Shards of Infinity.

Fort by Leder Games is a neat deck builder with a cute theme and some fun gameplay.

If I had the choice when the game first came out I would have chosen this era. Not sure if I’ll pick this one up alright having the other one though (and not getting it to the table nearly enough)

This is a great game and a lot of fun! My kid (6) loves playing this game with me. Also I don't know if you knew this but there's a 4 player ruleset they mention at the back of the book and you can find online to play with all 4 decks in an 2v2 game mode. Hey Jamie would you be willing to review or at least check out any other games from a smaller publisher?

[@jameystegmaier]

That's great! I'm curious how well it would work at 4 players. I appreciate you asking, but I'm not a reviewer, so I don't accept review copies of games. The games I play are those that I either buy, that friends have bought, or that someone shares with me at a convention. In that way, I talk about games from publishers big and small on this channel. :)

For a 1v1 deckbuilder I love the Power Rangers DBG. Asymmetric too which I always love. The Ranger player is building up the Zords to get to the Megazord while the villain player is adding allies that give them ever increasing ongoing abilities.

[@jameystegmaier]

Thanks for the recommendation! I need to try that.
