Luck should be changed to 5/5 for playing with echoes & cities

Post by ZenVee »

I'm over this game. The base set only is boring.

Echoes is a giant luck fest.

Echoes + Cities is exacerbated by numerous rules.

9/10 games in this season are determined by who draws one of the power cards early and then locks up the board.

Endorsing the wheel is an almost guaranteed win. Almost always happens when my two starting cards are the same color, basically a huge setback.

And I know it's the case since I've had large winning streaks and large losing streaks.

I'm sure I'll be back when I get bored with some other games, but this is by far the most frustrating game with the most variance that I've ever played on BGA.

What a "hold my beer" moment from Asmadi with the current season involving Artifacts expansion.

of course with dancing girl, but also... Necronomicon.

Really?

I understand there could be a very rare circumstance where you stack the 3's deck to wipe the luck out, but why even have these types of cards in early ages? Basically just flipping coins at this point instead of the core of what innovation is.

To me, innovation is a balance of card combos, symbol supremacy battle, and calculating odds of your opponent having a certain card.

These crazy cards in artifacts are just coin flipping to win. May as well go and play Yhatzee
