I've started playing Above Snakes and I really like the mechanic where you build the world instead of just exploring what's already there.

I've finally played all the modules in Kittens + Beasts.

Kittens - A good addition that add incentive to be first

Beasts - I found this to be kinda meh. I didn't like that you can only get beasts on the first day which makes it really easy to just skip the whole module.

Events - I really enjoyed this module. The events really add additional layers of strategy and time sensitive ways to score points.

I just got the Kittens + Beasts Expansion for Isle of Cats and played the Kitten module. The small size of the kittens and being able to rescue two for one basket makes it easier to fill out those smaller spaces that used to require treasures. It definitely adds incentive to be first for the round.

@Spat_U_Later the simple game mechanic makes it really easy to explain to new players. It's the only game the kids were able to easily pick up with a single explanation of the rules.

@dpunked The kids were 10-13. The game mechanics are really simple to learn too. The box says 8+ and that's probably accurate.

Relatives were visiting over the weekend and we played Tsuro with the kids. It's really easy to learn, quick to play, and has some strategy to it.

@echo64 I think the system wouldn't be too bad if there was an easier way to get the base weapons. One of the things I really dislike is hunting for specific weapons. I've only found one of those deku spears in my entire playthrough. Also, having to break my weapons killing enemies so I can get their weapons seems counter productive.

@SignorPao @TheTechNerd Some nice Hall Effect joycons would certainly be nice.

Something I've noticed while playing #totk is that the further I progress, the less I want to fight enemies. It's no big deal killing everything I see when my weapon is stick with a rock attached but now that I'm running around with pristine weapons with lynel horns I don't want to use them on random enemies.
