    I got to play ROCK HARD: 1977 recently. Production is top notch. Rules are fairly sImple. Gameplay-wise, I'd say it's clearly on the lighter side of the spectrum. Super fun, thematic and with a lot of variability. Can't wait to play it again.

    • @meeple
      @meeple  23 дні тому +2

      That description sounds about like what I expected. Probably won't set the world on fire for more medium to heavy gamers, but I love a euro-y game with a lot of good theme.

      I didn't get it played before recording this, but NOW! from Scorpion Masque (Hachette) is fantastic fun! We played it 4 times in a row our first go. This will be the little card game that I'm advocating most at the con for sure. If you see me, and want to try it, just ask. I'll have it with me.

      Chit Chat will be back for sure. We've been having a lot of people ask about it lately. We put it on hiatus at the beginning of 2024, and we hope to bring it back (better than ever) before the end of the year. We're considering an adjusted format, and some other surprises too!
