Played #Vindication for the first time tonight.

It's a fast-paced, color-blending epic quest to reclaim your honor by exploring shrines, gathering resources, dispatching monsters, collecting relics, and hiring a party of companions to aid you on your quest.

It's definitely a mid-weight, with thoughtful decision-making being advantageous, but the shape of the game directs the complexity well; making planning your next few turns relatively intuitive.

Vestige by Orange Nebula

Vestige™ is a highly strategic modern euro that you can play in an hour. It’s built around a resource alchemy system modeled on the color wheel that offers great depth but can be understood almost instantly. A modular game board; variable end-game conditions; and a card-tableau, engine-building heart makes every game a crunchy, combo-driven, highly replayable delight. Derived from the critically-lauded Vindication®, Vestige™ reimagines award-winning systems in a compelling new setting and depth-to-approachability ratio.

Одолеет дух добра.]
