@Rasp Dragon Maid — but instead of one arc it’s about 60% of the content, interspersed.

@SapphicGiraffic hell yeah!!!!!!

@vyr @junebug look, Decipher Star Wars is almost sort of somewhat respectable.

@junebug @vyr yup. good thing Vyr will play corp next…

@vyr two fun facts:

1. @junebug has been talking me into strategy basics

2. I messed up heavily — you don't need to spend an extra tick to score an agenda, you can do so any time it has enough advancement tokens on it!

@vyr no no no I know better than to disbelieve you about outfits

@luci so it _was_ a disaster

@junebug go ahead!

"Aura why so much TCG talk" 1. card games writ large are my Special Interest and 2. I'm passing the time on lunch break waiting for job interview news.

@junebug I've finally switched it in my head from 'traditional [Magic-style] TCG' into 'basically an Eurogame in card form' and now I understand it a lot more.

@junebug MUCH.

@junebug VERY.

(Netrunner is perhaps the reigning monarch in this niche, but there’s in my mind a distinction between games that require you to build an engine as a prerequisite to get to a victory state, like Netrunner, and games with a straightforward path to the victory state that have a lot of depth in their rules for constructing alternate paths to fast or uncontested victory, à la “early Magic” or current cEDH or Legacy/Vintage.)
