Aeon's End: War Eternal

This review applies to all Aeon's End games I own. This is my favourite Boss Battler Deck Building game. I don't think it has anything bad I can comment on. Every part of the design stands out to me: - Bosses are interesting and challenging - the randomized market selection mechanism keeps things fresh, forces you to change strategies instead of optimizing a single way of playing. - the market mechanism is great: 9 fixed cards per game, but a lot of them, so every player gets a chance to get every card - every card has a role to play there's no better cards than others, just better situations to apply them. - lots of characters to play. Although, to be frank, they don't play that differently. But that's not necessarily bad. - the initiative mechanism is also well-designed. Ensures fair play for everyone and player scaling (adding players still makes the game easier (as you can spread damage and bad effects between players), but not outrageously easier). I've adopted it for other games I felt were not fair in how turns work (for example, Kinfire) It's the sum of all the little things that build a tableau of greatness. The game was designed by people that know their trade and it shows.

Juego excelente de construcción de mazos. Dificil de ganar y dominar. Lo único que no me gusta es que los personajes se sienten demasiado igual, estaría mejor menos cantidad y con mecánicas que los diferencien a la hora de jugar...e incluso mazos diferentes, al final se sienten todos iguales. A pesar de que vienen varios nemesis las mecánicas se sienten parecidas. Pide a gritos expansiones para tener más cartas (no de hechizos sino de némesis)
