At the moment smallboxgames doesn't have it on their site but they do have a Kickstarter page that is for a version of Omen that includes Shattered Aegis and also adds a second expansion (though it may qualify for mini-expansion status). Any chance John Clowdus will send you a review set of that expansion set called "Blood Feud". A few extra eyes may go a long ways to boosting the Kickstarter for Omen 2nd edition<br /><br />CheersKennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-4510399733601135692011-11-25T21:09:46.562-08:002011-11-25T21:09:46.562-08:00MrManly,

But just barely, and I could easily see lots of people having a different opinion. Both games allow you to create long-term plans and then use those plans as a guide as you play, so there's a bunch of strategy in both. Race for the Galaxy is only arguably more strategic because of the discarding, when you have to say, 'I've decided to capitalize on yellow cards, so I'll dump these green cards.' Omen allows you to build a considerable strategy, and provides lots of opportunities to make and disrupt plans, but it's not always as hard to figure out what to throw away.<br /><br />But I like Omen better. It's a lot more brutal, and I like being able to directly affect my opponent, which is the worst thing about Race for the Galaxy (in that there's virtually no interaction at all).Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-88111603495301003322011-04-10T11:44:35.496-07:002011-04-10T11:44:35.496-07:00Dear Master Drake,

And if you haven't tried Roma, you should.<br /><br />Basically, I need to know how strategic this game is. I am always interested in games you find fun. However, I also been looking for a certain measure of control in card games.<br /><br />That is all. No butt jokes, no sodomy, no desire for you, just a question. Thank you, I love you.MrManlynoreply@blogger.com
