I love A Feast for Odin. I have the Norwegians expansion but I've always been scared to add it on. I mean, I can't even get around to utilizing the island boards in the base game! I'm so focused on filling my player board for income that I don't dare explore! But after your explanation, I think maybe it gives me more options to do things. Maybe I'll be able to accomplish more? Your thoughts?
The good things about Norwegians is that it's changes don't affect how to play much, so you should feel ok adding it on. And I do like the options it adds with the 5th action column. It does make things a little tighter elsewhere by removing some action spaces at 2 players for example. I think that I find I accomplish more by getting the islands early so I can surround their bonuses and get more object income. And worry less about maxing out coin income on the main board. But it is a trade off for sure. I do get the main board filled eventually that way as well. Not sure if that helps! - Jayne
Fantastic video you two 🎉 Fugitive has been on our list for a while, and now we're itching to get it even more! Have you tried their other games? We have RUN which is a really cool two-player hidden movement game 😊 Also A Wayfarers Tale looks amazing, we love that kind of game , print and play, roll and write, and adventure 😮 I'm going to try and find it right away 🙂
From Fowers Games we have Burgle Bros, Now Boarding and Paperback that we've played. Now Boarding is really great. Try it on BGA. It's so fun. We like Burgle Bros a ton too. Wayfarer's Tale is definitely worth it. Oh they have a streamlined free download of it here: www.wayfarergames.co. It's not as robust as the one you buy but maybe enough to try it out.
We have Haiclue and I think we have only played the challenge mode. Might explain why it felt a touch long. Perhaps if I didn't have to compose a haiku every time, it would have been a bit swifter. Still a fun game though.
Have you played La Havre: The Inland Port? I've played it once & my memory of it is that it was significantly easier than what you described for La Havre 🤔 Not sure which I'd prefer🤷♀️
I didn't realize that existed. What is interesting is that it looks really different. I think we're happy enough with Le Havre for now. To be honest we don't always prefer the two player versions of games. But it's interesting how different it seems at first glance.
@spielmill1755 I've got it as a digital game on Steam, but it's been years since I played it, so my memory might not be great, but I think it's very different. I've considered getting La Havre, but I think I'll do a rulebook comparison between the 2 versions before then!

Oh yeah, definitely quicker to play rounds the normal way. But the haiku way is really fun though!
