First solo play of Mistborn: the Deckbuilding Game. Tense and very enjoyable, and I think co-op play with two players will be more enjoyable than PvP.

Started playing Magic 30 years ago this month, after a solid sales pitch from a mall game store clerk in Las Vegas. Learned to play with my two brothers-in-law, sometimes playing with two-month old son Jacob in arm. Reuniting with them next week in Vegas, preparing a pseudo-cube for some draft fun

This is another minor rules nit: each of the player operation options (take actions, culture, planning) all end with advancing the operations counter. I think this step would be better included in the overall sequence flow rather than repeated in each section.

Finally playing Comanchería
