Best deck building game I've played (1 more)
Strategy changes depending what cards are available
Each turn you will draw five cards from your deck and use the powers and gold to acculate more cards for your deck. The goal is to gain the most victory point cards, but those cards have no powers, so they dilute the affectiveness of your deck.

Like a simplified version of magic the gathering, you build a deck out of two factions and compete with other players for victory points, which are acquired by destroying bases. Once you learn how to play the game is fairly fast paced and would be great for players the age of twelve and up. There is a plethora of expansions adding new factions and bases

Unstable team, Great time
So I checked it out online before buying. My partner enjoyed it so much with me. Bought every expansion to it as soon as it came out. Then they decide to make the same game but with a light vs dark theme deck as separate and stop expansions. Besides the NSFW expansion, it is fun to play with anyone.

Good beginning deck builder
This is a good game, but not a great one... it's ok / meh 2 player, but shines with 4, The parts and pieces are ok, we got the deluxe version from KS and it's well made, but I'm glad to have the upgrade.

Great Tile Laying Game, with interesting economic system
I love this game, it's great. Simple elegant. each turn you either buy tile and add them to your city, or you take money to prepare for the next turn. which makes turns relatively quick. but the depth of press your luck and anticipating what others might want is strong. There are plenty of expansions. I have the big box and you can pick and choose which ones you want to use, but each makes the game longer, so prepare yourself for longer games, which sometimes you want, other time is can drag because of it. One expansion allows you to take a tile out of turn if you can pay for it with exact change, we love that one. and there are exchange cards which allows you to convert blue money to orange money and we adore those cards too. This game has the quick feel of Ticket to Ride, with the Tile laying of Carcassone, but also the market system and a reward for paying with the exact right amount, so you have to decide if it's worth over paying for or you can be patient and get it with just the right amount. Also I highly recommend checking out Grenada which is a just a little more depth to it.

A great gateway game for new boardgamers involving Tile Laying and Area Control, building castles can be contentious
I enjoy this one, and there are tons of expansions to go with it if you are looking to up the complexity level. This is the kind of game you can play with kids and also adults that don't play many games. I have the big box and if you add in all the expansions it can double and triple the playing time. but does add some fun rules, and new funky tiles. best to pick and choose a few and implement then without all doing all of them. This game is simple, elegant, has quick turns and is really easy to teach. If you are looking to dip your toe in the water of board games, this isn't a bad one to try out. also try ticket to ride and catan.

Different every time
This is one of my all time favourite games and something we play a lot of as a family. I love introducing this game to new people and have yet to find a friend who hasn’t enjoyed it. There are so many expansion packs available so once you’ve mastered the basics, there are so many variations to try.

The beginning of the end
The first and original. First game I've played that I spent hours just designing my sims and house. Then I discovered the macabe aspect of killing sims in different ways. "oh, your pool ladder is gone? Just drown" "oh, there's a rug and plant by the fireplace, better be ready to burn"
