I agree going up the pedestal track is very easy but based on my very limited plays it seemed to be trap. I've had players race up that track but end up with really bad scoring in card and lose by over 50 points.
Always interested in "smaller box, crunchy games" and this devir line certainly looks appealing although I wouldn't get all of them. I wonder, if you get the chance to play the new one, White Castle, will you do a ranking between 3 Ring Circus, White Castle and Red Cathedral?
Looks like I’m in the minority with you. I remembered a not so favorable review but got it in a trade. And Devir had been really good. I loved how seemingly straightforward it was, but I did a playthrough and then later the solo game and both times I was bored out of my mind. Just felt really unsatisfying. I should play it opposed but decided to pass it on to a friend instead. Would much rather play something else than waste any more time on this one.
This is what I've heard and the reviews I've heard were like meh. And it looks so cool too. I think my small box Devir Game from Essen releases will be The White Castle. And I don't think you are in the minority with your final thoughts bc what I've heard is this is very average. Bummer!
Loved your honest thoughts
Very useful!

I'd definitely consider making a video like that if I get round to playing White Castle

If you're flying up the pedestal track, you're probably not playing efficiently. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Calimala is a fantastic game. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t seem to be in the same league.
Another disappointment to a game i just bought! 😅
You may love it. I'm clearly in the minority
@ChairmanoftheBoard maybe this will be a City of the Big Shoulders situation where I loved it and you didn't 😅
