Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Finally got my hands on Dune Imperium: Bloodlines, and am loving it. The contracts mechanic got a much needed boost to viability, with more imperium cards and tech tiles that make it more likely you'll be able to synergise your contract stuff. Worms also came out much later and more infrequently, while battles were larger due to everybody leveraging the Sardaukar Commanders. Liet Kynes as a new leader seemed really strong. You're a shoo-in to access the deep desert 1st, giving you 2 card trashes, 2 intrigues, and 4-5 spice for 3 water. Gonna take a while before my group settles on a new meta as we adjust to the new stuff!
