I have avoided pvp deckbuilding games as honestly those have gotten just as sweaty when I pull it out.Ĭoop games like dead of winter, betrayal at the house on the hill, and mansions of madness have been proven to be a hit! So naturally I picked up gloomhaven as a legacy title. I got into board games to try to offer up a different night of fun. My playgroup mainly plays MTG, but at its current state that game has become toxic with the constant arms races and salty bad beets. Wow, thank you for the detailed reply! I did not expect to get something this complete as far as a response!Ĭonsidering all of etherfield’s annoying bugs, would you suggest TG over it overall? I have been put in a bit of a pickle, to be honest. Story - etherfields is told in short cryptic messages and doesn’t have a full narrative arc, tainted grail is a masterwork in story telling unrivaled in its mechanical branching complexity Etherfields uses that slog to prep your deck and cards before the main course meal, but people also are saying they don’t like having to fight repetitive small things in order to prep for the larger things tg has heavy survival mechanics that can be a slog if you fight against them, as they are there to limit choices and push you forward. Gameplay - etherfields is snappier then tainted grail, but has more down time if you’re deck building between rounds. You won’t see most the rules you learn for 5 hours, leaving you feeling frustrated and disjointed as you constantly refrence and double check things. You’ll be doing a demo light game that will teach you rules but also require some of the rulebook, while getting new rules from cards. Rulebook - pandemic taught us how to do a rulebook for a legacy game, and AR decided to throw that all away and teach you both more and less then you need to know in a jumbled unsorted mess. The board - the board is an unusable mess, truely one of the worst things I’ve seen a publisher do, and you’ll be heaping components and trying to lay things on a bare table which is complicated because etherfields demands cards to be overlapped precisely. Minis - etherfields marks AR as being one of the best minature producers in kickstarter, they’re even doing custom sculpted bases now. Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.So there’s a bit to unpack with etherfields so I’ll do a breakdown by area
