Congrats on the Dice Tower homage video, super awesome :) Good overviews on these 3 games. I really like the Icarus Club idea of overriding a later lane card, and the 2nd highest wins is pretty cool - a bit more meta when it's for the long game vs a single round. But very interesting in both scenarios, Thanks!
Question about Icarus Club: I just got done translating the rules for backhander. I thought that when you take a trick you only take the lane card. It doesn’t seem like it matters whether you take 1 or 3 cards in the truck because it’s the same every trick, so why not just make it one card? Also, I thought playing a card to the lane was optional. True or false? Thanks!
Hey there uplift, great clarification and yes the winner takes all the played cards in addition to the lane card(s). This sounds like it makes lane cards less valuable as they're less of the overall points. Also, the rules do say 'must' i regards to overriding. Hope that helps!
The New Mill edition has made some tweaks to the rules, including making overwriting of the lane mandatory. Also some tricks ARE worth more, because if the lane was overwritten there are now multiple cards in that lane position.
Congrats on the DT review!
Cheeers jim!
I love New Mill and bought a couple of Phyical copies of Spring Ckeaning, and super glad I did

Thanks so much Constant Chaos Games!!! The icarus overriding is so rad! I love when games give the players the reigns!
Howdy from Texas! A bag of lentils!!! So funny. Headed to BGG Spring this week to hang out with the Portland game collective!!!
Howdy and hope you had a blast!
Yep! Loved Sluff off, 9 lives, and Bacon. Saw lots of folks from the Round Rock event. I’ll try to go next year.
HUGE congrats Taylor.
Cheers, Craig!! It's been wild!!

Which one has/need more layer of decision? Scout or Spring cleaning?
Pretty similar! Maybe Spring Cleaning edges it out!
