    Works the same with cars: even 100% coal based electricity still is a win. Isn't physics fun? :)

    You could literally burn coal to power a power plant to produce the electricity to run a heat pump to heat your house

    I remember there were some problems with the publisher. I think they needed to publish N games with them before they could leave, just like records labels used to work.

    I'm still a bit confused about why he did that.

    I like EU made Simple. Other than that there's a bunch of random unexpected stuff coming along, keep an eye on the "new" list and see what you like.

    However, you do get different resources for the cauldron, which do help you make things easier. Personally I would just mix them up as you're in the mood and don't stress too much about it.

    Just did a proper 2 player run. Cards which give other player block if you get block, and "everyone draws 2". You can't directly block other players with your normal block cards, but potions do work on the others, iirc. When opening a chest there are 2 relics, and you can pick the one you want (if you both want the same it's random). Works all pretty nice! Seems hard to balance, since you can really help the other.

    Tried the co-op mode for a bit (didn't have time for a full game), and it looks interesting. You both have you own character, and you can make all your own choices for loot and events (except routing, that's a shared choice). But in the battles there are 2 chars on the left (you and your friend), and you both do damage to the same group of enemies, but the damage from the enemies seems to be dealt to both of you equally. So if the bug attacks for 5, you both get 5 damage (without modifiers). That's a pretty simple way to do this, and it looks fun so far.

    otoh, MT2 literally has everything MT1 included. So might as well skip 1. :) (I think both are fine. I like the graphics of 1 more, and I think it's a bit less of a hodgepodge)

    I'd really just suggest skipping to the second one.

    Tried it and refunded it. The 10x10 grid games are not my thing, don't know why. Maybe it's managing 4 cats at once, I prefer something like StS, where it's 1 character.
