However, it was the first day that the new edition of Arkham Horror was available, and I thought long and hard about grabbing that instead. It looks like something I'd like, but I am overinvested in longish adventure games already. Jumping on what will surely be another expansion treadmill also sounded exhausting.
So I walked away with Azul. It'll be fun!

And yesterday - after hearing Josh & Al wax poetic on the podcast - I put in a preorder for FoD 4E, to come compete with my well-aged copy of 3E.

They arrived when I was out of town, so my mom and wife started cracking packs. My mom was intrigued, so my wife taught her the game with our premade decks. Then my mom took one of the boxes home with her and promised to look up deckbuilding rules. That's fun.

The three decks I was able to cobble together from roughly thirty boosters were okay, but I've been spoiled by LCGs. I want better than okay. I want reasonably efficient decks with tight focus. I want starting witches and wizards who aren't Draco, McGonagall, Lee Jordan and Marcus Flint. So I bought booster boxes for every set but the core.

Are you talking about the old Harry Potter TCG from about 15 years ago that is out of print? I love that game.

Yeah. I didn’t really think about it in our first few games, but the design is so clean. It may feel like baby’s first CCG, but that’s not a bad thing. The economy is straightforward, and the cards just do what they say. That may not sound like much but compared to Keyforge, which I think is aimed at a more casual audience, you don’t need to parse the difference between stun and exhaust, archive and purge, etc.
And I love the lighthearted, adventurous Harry Potter setting before Order of the Phoenix. Can’t imagine this game fitting in avada kedavra.
