Ra finally arrived!

Really interesting mix of push your luck, auction and set collection mechanics. The most interesting aspect was being able to bid on previously used bidding tokens.

Feels like a deeper and more repayable 7 Wonders.

A great Knizia game, but still can't unseat Battle Line!

Alt: Games day 1 has been great!

Loved hearing Richard Garfield's talk on game balance.

Dragons of Tarkir is an awesome #mtg set!

Built a sweet Mardu midrange deck at my local #prerelease and went 2-1.

Lots of great synergies and overlap between the clans. Keen to draft the set in the future.

Food Chain Magnate is such a tight game!

Had an interesting setup with houses on the left and beverage stations on the right. Buying New Business Developers at the right time was key.

Keen to Play again soon!

Had an awesome time drafting @sorcerytcg.bsky.social Arthurian Legends for the first time!

Went 4-0 with a super aggressive Air/Fire deck - standouts being Sherwood Huntress, Magic Missiles and Vikings.

Pulled 10 uniques and 6 foils!

Keen for a box of Beta next.
