I thought I’d do something different in this post. Pretty sure others have done this before for boardgames, definitely on a podcast or two.
This is a version of F@£k, Marry, Kill that as you can guess from the post title is Play, Keep, eBay.
The first three games up for this once in a blue moon series of posts are Scythe, Kemet and Inis.
Play: This has to be Kemet. I love this Egyptian themed game. It’s attack, attack, attack. If you don’t like conflict driven games where everyone is attacking everyone else, then this game is not for you. This is a game where turtling, aka hiding is not a tactic. You have to be aggressive to win. I love the ebb and flow of the game. The minis of the gods look awesome on the map, and love the unique powers you get from them.
Keep: The easiest decision of the three games for me. It can only be Scythe. It’s my favourite game of all time. There is so much replay ability in the game. It’s engine building, resource management, area control. The art is amazing. Great component quality. Looks amazing on the table.
eBay: There is only one game left. I’ll point out Inis is not a bad game. I enjoyed the couple of times I played it. However one on the list has to go and this is it. The fact for me is that I’d rather play or keep the other two games. And this reflects real life. I did in fact sell my copy of the game on. And it was for that exact reason. I had similar games that I’d rather play instead.
