Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game I've had for a while, but only today had the chance to play it. The game is very similar to Space Hulk: Death Angel, but much more expanded. Even in the tutorial, there is much more decision space and you have much more of a feeling of control. It's fun and the different scenarios promise even more of it. Specifically, the upgrading of action cards looks interesting, but unfortunately is not part of the tutorial. But it definitely makes you want more. Setup is much more than in SH:DA. So let's see how often it actually lands on the table, especially since Arkham Horror LCG is also announced, which goes in a similar direction.

Recently, the German version of Scythe finally arrived at my place, and today it hit the table as a solo game. The material is fantastic and impressive visually. The game itself is also great - essentially a mix of a Eurogame with action selection and a 4X game. The exploration aspect was not very pronounced, the military aspect only moderate, both of which I like. It's about the typical Euro efficiency of one's own actions, but embedded in a stylish frame theme. What excites me is the good design of the player boards, which show possible actions at a glance. And the very fast game sequence during the game with manageable decision-making scope. Great.
