The Vale of Eternity - We Just Played It! 

Yeah, I played it the week before Essen at the WSBG, and really fell for it.

If you ever want to try it on BGA, let me know!

Were you able to get a copy of the game on Sunday? Great meeting you at the Expo too! It was a good time with a lot of great people.

⁠@@meeplequeued up with several others to get a preorder that wasn’t collected at midday on Sunday. Very fortunate to get one - all thanks to your strong recommendation. Many thanks! Hope to see you again sometime

The readability is fine on the cards themselves, but the layout of the cards around the unique main board can require players to pick up the cards to read them to themselves. In a couple of my plays, someone has mentioned how the main board presents the cards a little awkwardly. I don't think it's a big deal though. With that said, this game would best be played on an appropriately sized round table. But like I said, it's really a non-issue for me to just pick up a card and inspect it. I haven't heard if there will be an expansion, but I sure hope there is. The game doesn't "need" it, but it would be fun to have more cards. Plus it would help the issue you mentioned above when it happens.

I'm not sure I'd say it "needs" more, but I'd certainly always take more for a game like this. 😁

It's not terribly difficult to remember the limitation after one play. Plus, everyone at the table will be the first to point out when you start to break that rule. 😆 I like that idea though, just from a table presence standpoint. I might put a bag of little crystals in my copy of the game, and try that.

This is a much lighter game. Both will appeal to fans of tableau builders of course, but this is a more streamlined type of experience. The management of currency and amount of cards played is what gives it its unique twist.

@@meeple Thanks, I guess I will look more into evenfall then

That’s another good example of a game I might reference for gamers who might also be interested in this. Side note: Try Seasons too! If not at the table, it’s on BGA as well.

@@meeple Thank you for the reply. I'll definitely try Seasons and hopefully this one too! I'm loving the "we just played it" segment BTW 😀

@@ameenaabouzeid2656 Thanks for watching and for the feedback! We'll keep 'em coming.

This seems more snappy than Everdell, which incorporates traditional worker placement.
