equatonReally wanted to play this game. It does play along the theme beautifully and the player interaction across the table is tense. I’ll buy this one 😄. #evolution #boardgames
Michael Valiant ✅ ⚔️🚀📚@equaton Another of our favourites! I have it with all the expansions (pet peeve: the expansions do not work together, you have to choose which to add in, which is a lot of work, so we always play with Climate now)
@Michaelvaliant I still need to try the expansions and looking forward it! Even if I was warned by an experienced player that the base game it’s just the best experience for more “competitive” play 😅
@equaton It really is. The base game is great, and very tight - it feels a little more primal because you are only thinking about building cool dinos and the jerk who went carnivore!
I loved Flight when it came out. And I like the extra layers of Climate, but both do tend to extend the game out a bit and it becomes less competitive (especially with Climate)
@equaton I play with my kids a lot (3 teenagers) and someone always gets upset by the carnivore play (always my oldest son) - Climate gives you more ways to mitigate the danger carnivores present so we play with Climate and I don't have to listen to an emo teen complaining about the death of their beloved dinosaur breed ;)
@Michaelvaliant ahhh I see ! I can imagine that happen! Countering the carnivore play could be tricky to do and if you lose the “momentum” you might not be able to do it at all ( I fail at that all the time 😂)
@equaton especially in the base game. It is easier to bounce back with the expansions (and to get rid of, or hide from carnivores)
