      Kingdom Death: Monster is awesome. Love it to death. It’s also absolutely terrifying in so many ways. From learning the rules, setting up the game and obviously playing it. Unfortunately we never play it because of location. Sometimes a years goes by between sessions and we are always too overwhelmed setting everything up and getting back into the rules.

        There is a pretty decent scripted tabletop simulator for Kingdom Death. Me and a couple buddies player five or six session and we were able to pick up and play pretty quickly.

      I was super in to Dominions 3 back in the day, played it online a ton, won a few big games. It’s got a brutal learning curve though. Late game when the turns were on a 96 hour timer and that still felt too short…
