Voidfall - anyone have any experience with this?
Looks like a reprint is coming soon:
The game looks interesting, but also really complex? Looks like there is a lot going on. I love the colors and design. Looks properly futuristic!

Agree with all comments - it's probably not for you, but it is a very deep and interesting game that I would always play. The biggest hurdle is learning around 100+ icons on the cards, the game itself is actually not that complicated, but the card interactions are...
I don't think this one will fit on your table....
I love Voidfall, and the solo mode is fantastic. It's basically the polar opposite of the sort of game you cover on the Dungeon Dive though - it's a super mathy and planning heavy euro with purely deterministic combat and very little randomness to be seen. It's not 100% accurate but I often introduce it as Gaia Project on steroids if you've played that at all. I'd say the solo mode is a lot like Spirit Island in how it plays. It is a pretty complex game and the first time will be rough, but the iconography and general design of the game makes it incredibly intuitive and after a play or two you'll learn to decipher the icon hieroglyphics and can pretty much toss the rulebook away. The real downside of the game is just that it takes a long time to set up on the table. The game also has beautiful art and a lot of work has been put into the lore too. I recommend it if you also like heavy mathy euros!
Ah, Spirit Island. That's like my kryptonite! :)
It gets a lot of love from solo players. I haven’t played it, but I do know setup is the biggest hurdle. Be prepared to spend an hour to setup, whittling down to 40 minutes once you know the game. It’s probably a game you want to leave on your table without breaking down after each play.
Yeah. Sounds like one for me to avoid. Long set up times are rough for me!
