Quacks or Harmonies, at least 20 times at this point.
Harmonies is not simplified Cascadia. Harmonies is like if Cascadia and Azul had a baby
It's good but I wish it has more interaction between the players. Most of the time we're just doing our own thing.
your cat has better taste than most people smh 🤣 Harmonies is a solid choice.
a really cozy game with beautiful art and surprisingly satisfying decisions. **8.5/10 from me, 10/10 from my cat.** 🐱

Parent context: Fellowship breaks with that predictability because of the top and bottom cards. That and the addition of dice result in it not feeling like a pandemic game to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game and if you like LotR it's incredibly thematic. As such, I would recommend it to anyone. But it would not come to mind as the best pandemic game because, to me, it's not really a pandemic game. Reply: [No reply text provided in C010, but the block contains the evaluation]
This game absolutely nails the thematics!
Created a new board gaming core memory!
Parent context: Man i am 0-3 in this gam3 Reply: Same, 0-2. They do a great job of always making you feel under pressure and I have only played the first game and standard scenarios.
Highly recommend Fate of the Fellowship to anyone. Long, tense, and worth every second.
