#firstimpressionsfriday🎲 started by @kay_plays_games Been a while since I had a new game to play and talk about on Friday. Earlier this week I received my kickstarter copy of Flamecraft by @cbalchemy And @luckyduckgames. I became aware of the project because I am a huge fan of @pvaughan007 and his work on #dwellingsofeldervale. I knew this was a completely different game but also knew by the campaign that the same level of quality and production would be on point. I loved the Art by @art_of_sandara and wish I could live in this little world they created. Pros: Art, components, storage solutions are all amazing. Each dragon card and shop have unique art by the incredible @art_of_sandara . Components in the deluxe edition are screen printed wood pieces and are very vibrant. The game comes with some stellar organizers by @gametrayz It has one for all the cards and dragons and two smaller 6 compartment trays for the resources. Another pro for me is its simplicity. They have simple rules and simple actions you take each turn. You can visit a shop and either gather resources or enchant a shop by spending resources. I also enjoyed the race trying to collect as much reputation ( Victory points) as possible before the end is triggered by drawing or revealing the last card of either the dragon or enchntment decks. Cons: it is a table Hog! Aesthetically I really enjoy the look of the long street that the shops occupy but it makes it so hard to see all of what's going on without standing and walking around to get a better look. The available dragons in the park and the enchantments that are available are on opposite sides of the board and just think it could benefit from a more condensed board. Also while I enjoy the simplicity of the actions the 6 types all have the same abilities' and while this will be great for teaching my kids and new gamers on Wonder if after more plays I'll be wanting more eventually 🤔 Overall I am happy with Flamecraft and knew what i was purchasing, a family weight game and I hope my kids enjoy it when I teach it to them. I am looking forward to getting it to the table a few more times to see how it holds up especially with more players.
