Kemet

I love this game and I'm surprised it hasn't got more buzz, but this game is just amazing for end and it works well with three four or five players th...

Gaia Project replaces Terra Mystica for me, while both are a different beast when it comes to area locking; Gaia gave me more to think with the tech track. Kemet 2.0 replaced Bloodrage for me, it was much easier for people to get into Kemet with most of the information open than Bloodrage, and battles in Kemet is way more intense.

Played a 2 player game. **Kemet Blood and Sand**: Found out this week that my groups first play of this game we got some rules wrong, which meant when I went to play it at 2 players we fudged some of the rules but I had corrected some of our previous mistakes. Nonetheless we had a great time and are looking forward to a 5 player match to really get everything going on the board!.

**Kemet: Blood and Sand** made a lot of good improvements in balance, rules to avoid edge cases and timing issues, and some editorial direction on tiles for player count and other similar areas. However the board art is worse, it lands in a strange almost real almost stylized which isn't great, the style on the card symbology feels mixed, the quality of the miniatures feels a bit worse, and the English rule book is terrible and full of errata, I wound up having to print my own of the fixed one once the community helped them fix it post campaign. I still kept Blood and Sand as the positives are far more important thab the negatives, but it does feel like a slight miss.

Hadn't ever played Kemet before, but this was so much fun. We both loved it, which was a particular win because Tallie is usually very indifferent to dudes on a map games. The upgrade system is really cool, I like how combat is done, and it is a really tight race to win.

Kemet #112 - I rated 8.5/10. Stone Age #124 - I rated 8.5/10. Chaos in the Old World #138 - 8.5/10. Dead of Winter #140 - 9/10 (was in my top 10 back in 2015).
