I played Trickerion the other week at the local game cafe. It was a little overwhelming looking at first but once we got into it, the familiarity of a worker placement Euro began to show itself. You play competing magicians trying to gain the most fame by preparing and performing different magic tricks. It was definitely one I’d like to try again now that I know how it all comes together.
But man it has lots of pieces. When I came back from a bathroom break, I glanced at a nearby table and thought, “What the holy heck are those nerds playing?!” Then I realized that was our table...
Sometimes you look in the mirror and see that the nerd looking back is yourself.
