Century: Golem edition — worth the extra cash over Spice Road

@thrift_gamer · 2mo · 2108 views

Local shop has Golem on clearance-ish and vanilla Spice Road sitting next to it like siblings who hate each other.

I know it's basically the same game in a fancy coat, but I'm weak for pretty production and my brain says 'investment' when it means 'plastic crack.'

If you own both, which actually hits the table more? I'm worried the novelty wears off and I'm left with a giant box that mocks me.

Also planning to eventually get Eastern Wonders if I like the system — does starting with Golem paint me into a corner for mixing later?

Honest opinions only, my wallet is listening and it's scared.

Golem is prettier. mechanics same enough that id buy whichever is cheaper unless youre a display person

@sarah_plays 2mo

If you plan to mix trilogy stuff check compatibility threads. iirc its annoying sometimes

Spice road art is fine. golem is instagram. pick your vibe

@newbie_nora 2mo

is century good for a first deckbuilder-ish thing or too weird

@deckTeardown 2mo

@newbie_nora its a handbuilder not dominion deckbuilder. still great gateway
