Played Imperium Legends in multiplayer for the first time (3 players) , i played with the Qin for the first time and didnt enjoy it as much as i enjoy other factions, too much restrictions and cards that need other cards or are restrictive of other cards you have in play. My turns took more time than i would like to. I dont know if my friends enjoyed the game as much as i expected, but it was a good game.
Also played Discworld Ank-Morpork for the first time and had a really good time, i think that the mechanics on the board work well enough (moving minions, buildings, trouble and killing) and the cards are fun enough too, some really crazy effects on there. But there are two things i really did not like: Events can go crazy on you, i lost in two events played in the same turn near the end 50% of all the money i had made in the whole game, it was too much, i knew at that point that i had no way to complete my objective nor win by points. Also your actions being restricted to random cards can make the game really one sided at times, if you dont draw decent cards with the actions you need you are simply always behind, and having cards that do actions and then let you play another card is just so much better 99% of the time. There were 3 turns in a row where my two friends had a card with an additional play at least and i didnt so i just played a single card and passed and they played 2 to 4 cards, that just was even less fun than when i lost 50% of what i had as i just wasnt even playing the game in comparison. All things said, its still a pretty fun game i would play again, but its really luck based.
I got Imperium Legends for christmas and have to manage getting it to the table with a group. The rules are such a beast.
The luck component can be super frustrating, not the biggest fan of game where this is a very big aspect. Thanks for sharing!
