Cardiology: Quick Thinker

Decision - Should You Play Quick Thinker?

We here at Call it Shadespire! were not initially planning on putting out a post today, because of the upcoming holidays.

Prologue Prior to picking up Shadespire, I played Legend of the Five Rings (the AEG version) for 20 years. When FFG bought the game and rebooted it, I gave it a fair shake, and then decided to part ways with my oldest hobby. A month before Gencon 2018, I decided to play Shadespire instead of L5R, and haven't put it down since. When I was playing L5R regularly, my playgroup traveled several times a year to play in large regional tournaments. I had assumed this would be the case with Shadespire as well, but as most North American players can attest to - tournaments are pretty scarce in these parts.
