Three Kingdoms Redux

I liked a lot about this game, but I ran into some frustration in terms of how the general tiles work. They determine the strength of your bids for the various actions, but there isn't a lot of variation in their bid numbers, which means the tiebreaker rules click in a lot, and in the case of a tie, the player who got there first gets the win, so this makes for some frustrating rounds. There's a lot to like here, lots of interconnected complexity, but then much of the game is about the two other players pushing the leader. It's nice to see a game designed for this mechanism specifically, as this is usually a downside to playing a 4+ player dudes on the map game with 3 players, but even when a game is designed with this in mind specifically I have trouble finding the dynamic fun. :star: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :star: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
