REFUGE: Take a walk on the wild side!

Post by DrClick »

Image

Create your walk, as far as you want, but before the storm breaks!

Refuge is a bag-building and push-your-luck adventure that will challenge your strategic thinking and keep you on the edge of your seat! Designed for families and gaming enthusiasts alike, it offers a dynamic experience where every decision counts and the looming storm keeps tensions high.
 
Storm tiles lurk in your bag, alongside tiles from a shared storm token pile. Push your luck to draw more tiles, but beware—storm tiles are mandatory and could force you to retreat, losing precious points and steps!
 
Will you risk another draw, or retreat to safety before the storm strikes? Make the right call to secure your tiles and improve your bag for the next round.
With its clever mix of risk management and a simple economic system, Refuge brings depth and replayability. While the mechanics are easy to grasp, the layers of decision-making make this game a hit for more experienced players.
 
Will you brave the storm or play it safe? The choice is yours! Go through the included tutorial first, or click below and experience the thrill of Refuge today!

We would love to thank Gérard Cattiaux, the game designer, as well as the amazing Bombyx team for their authorization to develop this game and publish it on Board Game Arena. Also, let's send your love to thoun who made a fantastic adaptation, again, by developing it for our platform.
It doesn't only look good: it plays very well too!
 
That's it for this Wednesday!
As always, take care, and... play fair!

Well and actually it is easy and really fun game, I don't understand such a low score on Bgg 🤷. Try it folks, worth the time spent.

Because BGG ratings are biased toward heavier games. The current top 5 BGG games are:
Brass: Birmingham
Pandemic Legacy: Season 1
Gloomhaven
Ark Nova
Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition

Pandemic Legacy is the outlier in terms of weight (only 2.83/5). The other four have an average weight of 3.97/5, with TI at a whopping 4.33/5.

But I agree this is a nice quick little deck builder.

Super cute, quick, and easy game! I'm new to deck builders so it's a great intro. Fun theme as well. Thanks for bringing it to BGA! :D

New games are added at 5.5 on BGA, so with only 70 reviews they must be positive as the rating is going in the right direction.

"Geek rating" (used for ranking) start at 5.5 ...

It doesn't help BGA brings its fair share of users who insist on playing/raing genre they DON'T like. You always get the same 5~10 profile plummeting abstracts/card games ratings.

I keep having problems with picking a card, the information of the card is shown every time I want to choose a card F 5 does not solve the problem
