The hold/merge feature is quite unique to BGB in comparison to other gaming stores. We really appreciate that they have this feature.
The current copies of HHH that are sold now are the 3rd edition published by Sparkworks under the Tabletop Tycoon umbrella. The 3rd edition is printed with die-cut counters, new gameplay leading to a shorter time-frame, and new art. This version still plays up to 5 players, but all 5 can take a doctor; administrator is still used but a single player will not play that individual. The administrator actions have been streamlined, but also added to with a new research action that is completely new to this version. Minus the art style, after over 100 plays of the third version, I have grown to enjoy this version over the previous versions. I hope you enjoy it too.
Nice addition to help organize your player area.
I would have given Imperial Settlers 4 stars, but the font on the card is printed so small that impacts the enjoyment of the game for anyone who requires glasses, which happens to most of us over the age of 50. Imperial Settlers has an easy to learn mechanic, that can have a lot of nuances as you learn the game. Card based, engine building, resource management and includes a small amount of aggression between players which adds interest but doesn't become too overwhelming. The aggression is mostly one attack per person per turn, unless you have cards that give you more swords (Romans!). There is also the option to play the nice version.
No batteries required…good
Lots of game pieces….good
Self contained storage…good
BUT….. there is absolutely NO WAY to trigger raccoon. You can poke around with arm and pull out all “trash” but nothing happens!?!?! There’s no wire, bumper, lever inside to “bump” to release raccoon WTH?
