Be forewarned that it can be stressful. The game has timed card buying/deck construction phases which means that you're rushing to parse through a lot of information in the different cards to make the best "deck" you can. I enjoyed it, but my two gaming buds were a little lukewarm on that aspect and would rather play something less stressful. The theme however, is superb.
Nice. I really need to break into mine sometime soon. I received a copy from BGG Secret Santa two years ago. I was sent a copy of the game, sleeved and organized, the original playmat, Dark Cities, the Fantastic Four expansion, the Spider-Man expansion, and the old BGG promos. I've since bought the GotG expansion and plan to eventually get Captain America and the Secret Wars boxes, but figure I should play it at some point. I feel bad too that the person who sent it really hooked me up, and put a lot of thought into what he sent me (he sent me a couple other things, including an Upper Deck cape that he got from their booth at GenCon or something while buying Legendary stuff). I would rather try it out with other people though, I've yet to play a deckbuilder by myself (I don't think, but I could be forgetting something. It isn't common if I have done it before) and would rather play in a group. The opportunity hasn't presented itself yet though.
lol, that's pretty good. I haven't looked through all of the Millennium Blades cards yet, so I hadn't seen that.
i red some lukewarm review for gloom of kilforth, but i'll be biting the bullet here
I like it. It's more push to luck than strategy, but setting up moves is a bit unique since you choose a move type which everyone does, but then you know what move types other players could choose that would affect you. You might also consider which items you assign to which meeple, and whether other players are likely to choose certain temples due to their requirements.
I've only tried Agricola but I find it super dry. I'm the wrong person to ask since I'll just say Feast for Odin anyway, good strategy and management and solo play.

Technically android netrunner has a similar (at a very lesser extent) problem, but there's jinteki so I can survive
That's pretty cool that Finland has taken some kind of stance against Kickstarter projects/creators that fail to deliver or under-deliver. I'm not sure if treating every project across the board as a pre-order works, because there are projects outside of the board game category that are actually ideas that a creator wants to crowdfund in the spirit of Kickstarter. It's a start though, I guess. Here's hoping you get something out of it.
Seeing the gameplay I too made the comparison to EH, even the 5-6 rolls for success are identical, but I don't understand why if they're really similar, EH is considered good and gloom in considered "ok"
Do you have the Kickstarter version by chance? Trying to decide if it is worth getting for the expansion.
Burgle Bros is solid, cute, comes in a tiny box, and does 4-player co-op.
Yep, it'd be between Santorini or Burgle Bros for me on that list, and if he needs a game that plays with four minimum, Burgle Bros is the easy choice.
Isn't the mass market (Target?) version missing the power cards? Or am I imagining things? I heard it removed some stuff.
I get that you wanted Burgle Bros for free shipping on an order you are looking at placing online but if it is something you do want soon in the future, it is available from the Fowers webstore: https://www.fowers.games/collections/direct-price
The Target version is missing the ocean board and does not contain the Golden Fleece expansion, which does have a bunch of god cards in it. The base game should still have the base set of god cards, I believe.
Are there no organizer cards in the box? I legitimately do not know if it comes with them or not; the copy I mentioned I got has dividers that separate all cards by hero and stuff, but I suppose they could have been homemade from a file on BGG or something?
The game comes with 60 generic dividers which is no where near enough when I opened all my expansions.
What I currently did is
Base box: 95% of my heroes, my 5 starter decks, all schemes, wounds, and pedestrians.
Dark city box: 5% of my villains, all master minds, all henchmen, all villains.
I have villains, henchmen, and master minds all separated into unique dividers. I thought about putting masterminds together with their specific henchmen or villain but decided to keep them separate in case I want doom bots with magneto or something
What is an affordable price? I see quite a few completed listings on eBay that ended at around $30. I know that's like twice MSRP, but it is OOP, so that's to be expected.
