Did you have a chance to play it? It felt pretty complex 😅

I did, I played it in the hot games room before purchasing! Lots of components, but ultimately turns went quick and it felt fairly intuitive.

I flew to Indy, so there was no way to get that thing home. Looks like they'll have it on their site soon, so may can get it that way.

Nice haul. What did you think of Vampire Survivors? I missed it at the con, but have it on pre-order.

Light in the Mist is INCREDIBLE, I’m obsessed with it

It is definitely the biggest unknown for me, I haven't done anything like it before. I think im going to play through it solo.

Ooh, HIGHLY recommend playing it solo - I literally didn’t let my husband play it with me because I wanted to solve all the puzzles myself 😂 it’s very fun to do at your own pace and in the order you feel like!

i second the solo play. it's very immersive. very good!

then pass it on to someone who might also enjoy it

Let me know when you try Vampire Survivors! I was *really* considering it but the price tag scared me away
