Stonemaier makes the blandest games ever so this is pretty on brand for them.

I was gifted Tokaido for Christmas, and while I haven't played a game of it yet, I've gone through the rules and simulated a few turns, and it doesn't feel interactive or exciting. It feels fairly solitary, aside from the entire "do I want to be ahead of the group and get the bonuses, or trail in the back and get more actions?"
On the other hand, my playgroup has largely enjoyed Wingspan and Wyrmspan. Wyrmspan specifically felt like a good step forward, because the resources felt much tighter, and it felt like there were various approaches to the game that could work well.
At least it is no longer part of Asmodee, but Stonemaier is a nightmare to work with as an LGS. Guess this is another title I will be unable to carry.
Really? This is news to me, but I'm not an FLGS 😅
