Mage Knight: Ultimate Edition

Large barrier to entry but rewarding after getting past the rules.

My opinion is based on playing solo. Basically, your objective in the game is killing some monsters (in order to conquest a city or whatever). But you cannot kill them if you are not strong enough. And the only way to become strong enough is again killing more monsters. So, the game is about killing monsters with some features (strength, resistance…). You have cards and abilities, which are stronger as you kill monsters. Your cards allow you to move, to fight and to buy things. Thus, choosing how to play cards is an optimisation problem with multiple variables in order to accomplish your objective. I do not like much the “killing-monster” theme, I would have preferred a kinder topic, but you might enjoy it if you like this kind of topics. However, the mechanics are more important than the theme and at the end this is an euro where you have to decide your actions when playing cards. Replayability is very high. The game is not especially difficult, despite the multiple little rules for the monsters, The rulebook is the most boring rulebook I have ever read. At the beginning you are a bit lost because the game does not press you, you can just go for a walk avoiding monsters, although you would not win. In conclusion, the game is very interesting, especially if you like meaty games.

Ultimate Guard Precise Fit Bordified

Best Solo (and Co-Op for two players) game ever. Downside is that you need to remember all small rules but after all, fun from epic adventure is great
