Love this game but it’s in my pile to sell. Another one where marketing killed it. Put out the game, months later say that game was crap because reasons so put out new edition, then make the expansions only work with the new version.
Oh jeez is that what happened? I haven’t followed it at all. I bought the original game (which is great and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise) and, like…one expansion. Some ice-themed deck.
How are the expansions only compatible with the new edition? Is it all detailed at BGG? I was just thinking it’d be cool to get some more decks.
This was all some time ago. I know that to use the expansions you need to buy an Upgrade Pack (or the new printing of the game) that was enough to steer me away from the game.
Here’s what they changed:
The central board.
The play score boards for all four factions.
The tokens for units for all four factions.
The Flare Cards
The Task Cards.
So what’s that? Everything? Now it may just all be component upgrades. I don’t remember.
Huh weird. Dumb. Guess I’ll just stick to my basic copy.
I think CGE made the new version themselves. It was better quality and cheaper too.
The game really makes you work for each point. It is a right bugger.
Yeah I’ve got to admit that reviews do say the new one is better, but I refuse to support that kind of marketing. If I ever see a used copy I may pick it up.
FWIW I love the game. I’ve played a lot more of it on BoardGameArena than in person. YMMV of course.
I forgot it was on BGA!
