Expeditions

Pros

• I quite enjoy Expeditions... The base rules are pretty simple, but the interactions between the large number of cards can get complex, especially since actions can trigger other actions. Chasing the perfect chain of actions is a dopamine...

• Parent context: It’s a good game. Doesn’t hit the same notes as Scythe for me, but that’s great, because if I want to play Scythe, I’ll play Scythe. That said, I find this much easier to get to the table. Reply: I feel ya. I want to ad...
