After playing 80+ games of this, I agree that Dragon's Lair is overpowering. The fact that a card that powerful can be bought in the first round is insane. While I really enjoy Res Arcana, the strategies are starting to become too predictable (I'm guilty of using easy strategies to win, too). If Dr...

philosopher stone was removed from 2 player drafting. Absolutely not: nothing is removed from Draft for a 2 player game, cards are still randomly picked, that means only 16 cards for 2 players which provide less opportunity to pick a specific card and might let you think it can be removed.... Okay,...

Alex Chen on BGG made a very similar review a long time ago (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2211614/card-card-review-all-artifacts-res-arcana).

Other than that I must say that I have never lost to dragon lair before.

On some online Chess websites, instead of "Undo", you can ask for a take-back. If the opponent agrees, you undo your turn. This is a great compromise, and match how we play IRL at boardgame: you can ask for a take-back, and if every other player agrees, you can undo. If at least one playe...

Now I build my building next to a different player and check whether he will accept the power such that I get my +1 cult. This might...

I thought it may be fun to share some of the greatest highscores that you ended up with.
Here is my highest scored game so far (considering a win after round 3):

14 points by the end of round 3

I recommend this video for beginner level players.
I think there are some valuable thoughts and ideas for anybody who just started playing the game.
