Finally got Voidfall and played my first game with 2 others. It was one of the best gaming sessions I’ve had in a long time! So many great decisions to make in that game and very satisfying to play. Once you get the icons familiarized it becomes very breezy. What an amazing game and amazing production.
Played “That Time You Killed Me” for the first time.
I was in search of a good time travel game and settled on this. I’ve only played the first scenario so far, I’ll post again once I’ve finished the other three scenarios. So far, it’s been a little lacking in the time travel department and feels like I’m playing chess/checkers on three different boards. It’s still a good game, just not enough time traveling.
Does anyone have other recommendations for a game that uses enough time travel to make Nolan blush?
Interesting to hear. When I played it, I wished the publisher was less reluctant to use words, just combining symbols with a single word would have cleared up the overview by so much. My group(4p) played the tutorial for 3 hours after watching 1h of instruction video and decided we are not going to play this regularly enough to ever get over the required training barrier. Seems you guys are more fit, and it really looks beautiful. Enjoy!
I actually adore the use of symbols because it becomes language agnostic and you don’t have to learn all the game rules, just follow the icons and you’re good. Once you play it one time and internalize symbology it’s really smooth, I suggest trying a full game that’s a low complexity scenario so you get to explore everything and it will click better

Temporum has non-stop time travel and alternate history.
On the plus side is; Designer: Donald X. Vaccarino
I have not played it though, and it sounds like it may not hit the sweet spot that Dominion did. Chock full of time travel though!
