Actually, this re-release of 40 has made me start to really question the nature of my interest in the game:
If I buy this version, it will solely be to collect the new sculpts.*
I can’t fool myself into thinking “It’s a new puzzle to solve” or “I should support the continuing development of the series”.
In effect, Wizards is selling me the same game I bought two years ago, except this time the little men are wearing Tilley hats, and driving prettier cars.
(The set-up might be slightly different, but I could just download that online.)
And I’m still wrestling with myself about whether or not to buy it!
I oughta get my head examined…
- And, perhaps, as a way to better facilitate those occasional ‘Double-Blind’ fog of war matches that I greatly enjoy… Previously, I relied on photocopies of the board taped together, but this is obviously sub-optimal. Okay, now I’ve completely justified it to myself. ;)
