@poxonus On the other hand, I'm disappointed with the official instruction materials:
1) The booklet that comes with the starter "Dorinthea vs Rhinar" isn't the rules, but the (completely ignorable?) lore.
2) They included a paper playmat, which is nice, but why wouldn't they print the turn sequence on it?
3) There are a couple of nice, short, "learn to play" videos and "quick start" rules that lay out the basic ideas ... and then a 100+ page official tournament rules document that reads like tax code. When I sit down to try to play, I'm lost in the VAST gulf in between.
Was this just poorly done, or was it a deliberate decision that the only way to learn this game is by word of mouth?
@peterdrake glad you think so. I’m a huge fan of just testing things out before I can decide if it works for me or not.
