Oh, what a shame. The original is a favorite. I don't like the changes.

I wish I could have the original, just different artwork.

In addition to the "small" choice, I'd like to see one that removes the banner art and just leaves the box image. These are games, not movies. I don't need it to look like Netflix. Also, can we have a choice to stop auto-expanding the game details when the mouse goes over the image? This i...

Which is why in the rules, you inspect your cards to select your mage, and then you shuffle and place your deck without inspecting again. Yes, it's hard to remember the cards, I ...
