Thanks for the honest reviews, Taylor. The different levels of game feel, tactics and choices are bound to happen with the relatively narrow market of the 2-pl trick taking game. We should support them so they can keep brainstorming and producing new 2-pl games…
Really interesting games, thanks for the great overviews. Hipparchus has a genius system, elegant really - but does seem like less decision space. Thanks!
Hey Taylor, I keep hearing you say the name, (and if youre being a silly billy and I'm missing it I'm sorry for being that guy) but the name 건일 would be pronounced like the words 'gone' - 'ill'
That "music score" in Phantom bugs me. Did they just go "we need something that looks vaguely like actual sheet music" but didn't actually validate it? Bars 1 and 3 are in 4/4, bar 2 is in 5/8 and bar 4 is in 8/4. What?! The tune is also... not good. I get they wanted the note stems pointing in certain directions, but if you include a musical score in a game, PLEASE make it actually musical sense. Game looks fun though!

“a la Scout”, while not wrong, hurt my heart. Bohnanza, my friend!

"can you get the light? thanks. ~phantom of the opera~" is the cutest thing ever lmao
Hahahaaa such a kind phantom!!

A bit of both, as i wasn't sure, but this helps confirm! Thanks so much, Stu!!
Lol Ptolemy pronouncing ...oh I need these!!
Hahaaa cheeers pk!
I still wish Ptolemy was great game instead of a good game. I just really love the look and colors of it, but I've got to keep a small collection
