My larger point; Restoration Games is totally pro. I've had my frustrations in the past regarding a convention booth set-up, and my disappointment in missing sidekick miniatures. But those issues are minor.
They have a great team assembled. Their production value is top notch. Their games reflect it.

I agree. I'm having hard time resisting this one, and I already have Epic Duels!!

Full stop.
From Epic Duels, it was a short step into Heroscape. Afterwards, there really was no going back.
I still have my copies of Epic Duels & Heroscape. They continue to "bring me joy."

I get that. Heroscape hasn't been played here in many, many years. Nonetheless, it still feels good to see it sitting on the shelf. Never a "toad", just an old friend.

I try to bring the game out when they’re busy or not there, but when the box hits the table they all drop everything to play! They call each other. They just show up from nowhere. I’m boxed out of Railroad Tycoon.
Seems I need to try Unmatched. The game’s title is curious, has anyone considered it? You’re mixing and matching opponents.
You guys are right on the money with level of detail in your exposition. Keeps the show hopping.

Just knowing they’re there in the garage brings me joy. I’m smiling gently right now.

Well that sucks! Playing any less familiar game with opponents who have played a lot is always frustrating, but especially so with a game like this that takes a while to play. Losing for two hours is rarely fun. Similar to what I said a while back about DUNE, this is a game that you need to LEARN with a group. This is a game from a time before everybody had shelves and shelves full of games, because there just weren't that many games to be had! It's a game that is meant to be played over and over with opportunities for new strategies and new understanding as you learn to play. Might I recommend that you play this one with your family? I think you would all have a super time.
