Would like to try it soon, though. Preferably with a player aid to tell you when things are multiplied by the phase number, and when they're not.<br /><br />But surely the highlight was when we were thinking about which games designers this reminded us of. With all the flavour text, I wanted to say the guy who made High Frontier, but couldn't remember his name.<br /><br />It was Ian who prompted me with "Eklund?" and then we all sat and marvelled at how far Ian had come on his gaming journey of discovery.Ersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012602968152264418noreply@blogger.com
