@Derek Arsenault Lol I imagine you and I are like the medium (or easy) AI while JW is rocking Hard mode! Actually, next on my list is Scythe digital. I downloaded Spirit Island recently but couldn’t quite get into the digital format even though I enjoy the physical copy. How would you say Scythe lives up to its board game counterpart?

@Gloomknight LOL Yes you're bang on! We totally are easy/medium AI where JW probably has his own difficulty level coming soon. 'Extreme JW mode' will probably be what it's called. 🤣 I think it was the first game I played him, I was thinking "wow, I'm doing ok".... Then within his couple last turns, I changed my mind. 🤣

I've actually avoided Spirit Island digital myself because I hear so many good things about the physical version, and I haven't played it yet, that I don't want to skew my opinion of it based on the digital. Some games I take a chance, but that one I just won't.

Regarding Scythe digital - I'm always a sucker for the tabletop versions vs digital. Scythe digital did not impress me at first after loving the tabletop game so much. However, I've come to respect it the more I played. I do think they've done a good job with it. My personal preference is seeing everything in front of me on the table when playing Scythe. But the digital version is a nice quick way for me to play the game when I don't have time to get it out to the table.

@JW I’ve had Race for the Galaxy on my shelf for months now, but everytime I pull out that manual I just start seeing random numbers. I generally don’t have trouble learning new games, especially medium to heavy ones, but something about all those little icons in Race just always makes me question if there is something more worthy of my time 😉 lol.

@JW Oh ok thank you. As we get settled, I'll connect for another game

Oh, you can play against random strangers. But I never tried.
