[@elqord.1118]

I'm so torn on Stupor Mundi. I liked my plays on BGA but somehow it's lacking a climax. It never felt like it was taking off and soaring. It's also a terribly low scoring game and resources are just always very tight. Once you build something you have to go on a journey to collect resources again. I was able to perform well both online as well as solo but maybe this is a game that would actually shine a lot more on the table. It is a bit harder to keep everything in view on BGA as I have to keep scrolling to check the king's board and player boards. Overall my feeling is a 7/10 at best right now. I couldn't even tell you what they should improve to make it a 8/10 and get me to back it.
