   I wanted to like this more, but it just feels like such a slog. The two phases are basically two separate games, they just don't feel connected enough by any means. It takes so long to be able to do anything of consequence with your minions, so the game just takes too long.

   It's fantastic design and stands unique among not just the games I have but I'm aware about. It takes a few games to get the rules right and a few nuances you probably have to cover on your own, but it worth it. With not even that many cards and effects the game provides very large decision space. And surprises. On both sides: when you think the opponent can't do something till you next moves, he might just find a way. Also on your turn you may think not really bright situation, then find a different combination for a huge difference. Just 4 tribes and 3 hero in each, still massive variability on how it turns out. The most important nuance for me in such games that kinda every move is powerful. It's always hard choice. The game can be pretty long and is exhausting due to all the thinking. It's not really a negative, just saying. KS late pledge, arrived on 2021/06/24

   Totally unique game. I’ve never played anything else like it. It’s easy to learn, hard to master, and the strategy is quite deep. Looking forward to adding this to my collection.
