Of course! All opinions are valid. The RNG factor is definitely an issue. I play a good amount of Wingspan online too and maybe just because of the speed at which you can play games back to back, it becomes really apparent when you just don't get smiled upon by the RNGesus
Yeah I feel like if you are able to take the randomness in stride better than I do then that is much less of an issue.
It doesn't throw me nearly as much when a game is really short; like ten, fifteen minutes a round - because then who cares whether you got (un)lucky. You just make the best of it and next round things may be different.
But Wingspan is just long enough that I didn't enjoy myself several times when I happened to get a bad inital draw and not much in the market to mitigate.
Utterly unconnected to Wingspan other than being another Stonemayer title, but I'm really looking forward to getting Expeditions and giving that a go :)
Yeah is that the scythe thing?
It's a game in the Scythe setting, exactly. I got the Ironclad edition with metal mech minis and I'm looking forward to getting those in my fingers.
The gameplay is pretty different though. I think only the scoring is based on the achievement stars from Scythe but that's about it :)
