I have already played a lot of Vantage from @stonemaiergames.com and yet the other day I encountered a whole new category of card I had not seen before. This game just has so much to explore!

This thread is excellent

Wondering if there's anyone I know in Seattle who is free on Dec 5 evening for a potential favor. (Alas, not a fun sort of task, more of a logistical assistance sort of thing.)
