Welcome to another episode of The Board Boys Podcast! On this 'sode we deep dive LOTR: Circle of Conflict from Office Dog designed by Stephen Buonocore and Geoff Engelstein. Also on this episode, we…
Oh, you guys played
that? I want to play that
so bad.
I own it now.
You own it? Yeah, I do.
I got it from a board game sale or whatever.
The designer is Carmen Garcia Jimenez and the publisher
is Devere.
In this one, you're essentially...
What are you doing? On your turn, you're basically playing a card, doing the stuff on the card, which is a bunch of different actions in the game.
But overall, you're trying to get resources to use those resources to place... your followers in the temple next to the Last Supper table where Jesus is sitting.
And when you play the cards down, you're playing them in these columns.
And if you get the icons in a certain order that matches the order of the different apostles you can then also put the apostles down where you want them and do special abilities with them and the closer you are to all these apostles in jesus the more points it is and it's farther less points the farther you are away in the in the columns you're also like you can also like listen to parables and you can there's a really cool like you can do favors for people where like you get points and really juicy cards but you give someone like and well one side of it is like an icon that they can then use to like put an apostle out but then it's also like money or resources or like an action or something so To me, that might have been one of the most interesting parts of the game because it makes it kind of interactive.
You can kind of wheel and deal some of that stuff a little bit if you want to.
Overall, I don't know how often I'm going to get this game played or if I'm going to keep it.
I enjoyed it.
It kind of feels middle of the road for me as far as it goes.
Plus, it has a ton of different icons for the actions.
And like...
That was a little overwhelming, I think, at least to teach.
There's a couple of them that are kind of similar to each other.
I don't know.
It was decent.
And if that theme...
