<![CDATA[Played my first full game of #HEXploreIt Vol. 5: Mountains of Godai last night!]]>Played my first full game of Vol. 5: Mountains of Godai last night! Went easy mode with a hexclusive role and race on the normal difficulty. Took about half the game until I felt the game began to flow smoothly, but once I got there it was enjoyable. It feels very different than the other volumes and will take a bit to get used to the sheer quantity of things that need to be tracked. The photos are mid-game and end game when I defeated Jaethi.

I did struggle with the siege phase a bit in Siege 2 & 3 for the same reasons I struggled with The Circle Undone campaign for the Arkham Horror card game: I’m terrible at keeping track of passive effects. I had lots of checking and re-checking what the effects were, how they scaled, and what they meant. (1/2)

Where this ranks in the series isn’t really relevant to me right now, I think it’s very cool how they continue to flex the core system for different types of gameplay. That said, I really don’t think Godai should be your first entry into the series, both because of its complexity and because it just doesn’t quite feel like the other Hexplore It games.

Great experience though, looking forward to another play with less looking things up and a better flow 🙂
