I'm not normally the biggest fan of Stefan Feld's style of board games, but I like Carpe Diem more than most! Here is a comparison of two editions: The last in Alea's old big-box line (2018, 1st printing) vs the remake in their new big-box line (2021).
Both have printing issues, mistakes that don't really break the game but are unfortunate nonetheless. Apparently there is a second printing of the 2018 edition that addresses some issues with the first one, but I haven't seen that one and can't compare.
Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!
In today's video, we're ON YOUR SIDE. This gentle explosion of new & upcoming board games focuses on titles where you're collaborating with other humans to achieve your goals, or collaborating with your own brain, which somehow feels harder? ENJOY
Light on the rules, Heavy on the strategy! That’s what gets my rocks off with board games, lol. And gosh darn it, Reiner Knizia has done it again. Medici Traders! -Dani
Welcome to Totally Decked, a series where I teach and play the best solo card games that use a traditional deck of cards. This time I'm playing the challenging skyscraper building game Cardbury by Iffix Y Santaph.

Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.

👏 10:31 Conclusion
"Ironwood is a rules-light, highly asymmetric, card-driven tactical game for 1-2 players. Each round, you and your opponent alternate playing a total of 3 of your faction-specific cards for their action effects. These effects include positioning your warbands, initiating combat, extracting crystals, bestowing temporary passive effects, and many more. When combat occurs, you will use the same cards for their combat values instead, in a simultaneous bid to gain combat bonuses, inflict and fend off casualties, and augment the Dominance value of your warbands to win the combat.
Ironwood also features a low-upkeep solo mode against the Ironclad or the Woodwalkers. Although both solo opponents work on the same main principles, each of them bears its faction’s unique aspects and features."
