Sorry for no Regicide Legacy video this week! We're taking on some projects improving the studio and that has us unable to film for a while, so I'm spacing out the content we have in the can. New episode next week!

Deep Regrets arriving in faux-newspaper wrapping instead of shrink wrap is an amazing touch. Excited to dive into this one, har har

Heading to a private friends convention in the mountains this weekend and I'm not leaving until we make a 5v5 game of Guards of Atlantis happen. Have you ever used the massive multiplayer side of the board? Any tips?

Very cool little story told in this sequence with just card names and art. Unstoppable has so much depth and life to its world to back up its clever mechanics! Excited to play a lot more of this one.

Skytear Horde: Finally got my first win in Skyear Horde Monoliths! It's all about the minion management against the Monoliths horde, and it took learning to be OK sacrificing some allies to chump block early and avoid getting pillaged for 10 in the first few turns. Late game, Heraal was the absolute MVP as I had the minions under control and he was able to break down the Outsider while pinging down minions I pulled in on either side of him.
Next up: moving from level 2 to level 3 difficulty to get some of those brutal epic monsters into the mix!

Been playing some Skytear Horde this week but I'm not sure I can go on without figuring out how to pronounce Skytear. How would you say it?

My first solo game of print and play Gem Getter Galactic by ‪@DanielYoungGames‬ got me trashed by the quippy scoring rubric. Gonna have to aim higher next time!
As an established fan of roll & writes and polyomino games, I'm enjoying this quite a bit. It's on pnp arcade if you want to grab it and play along when we do a video playthrough soon!
