It’s there! Right on top of the Root boxes :)

I love Brian Boru, but I’m still not very good at it! The drafting feels like it has a pretty high skill ceiling.

I use the bin in the lower right for some of them, but the DVD case up top is great for small box stuff!

It’s really fun! It’s definitely a completely different kind of game than an Eclipse or Twilight Imperium, but if you like heavy euros there’s a lot to like about it. I really enjoy the unique technologies in each game, and the ability to define your own scoring criteria through agendas.

I haven’t! I’ve been to a couple smaller conventions local to me, and definitely would like to attend one of the “big ones” like GenCon :-)

Boardgames! I used to be more into trading card games like Magic, but got tired of the cost and constant churn, and then spent the last couple years delving deeper into boardgames, including hosting a weekly game night that regularly has 8-10 people :)

Yeah, it’s totally brain-bending for just being a deck of 54 cards!

If you like Innovation and want another awesome sense card game from the same designer, check out Mottainai.

Inis is pretty much in a category of its own, but another great area control game with interesting card play is Brian Boru.

Targi is a brilliant game, I particularly love the GeekUp bit set that’s been created for it. https://boardgamegeekstore.com/products/geekup-bit-set-targi?_pos=1&_sid=24073fcae&_ss=r

Do you think Mottainai is worth getting/playing if I already have Innovation?
