WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

I agree that the art is good in Ascension and is its one virtue, and on the scale of "similar to an MTG booster draft but the fun parts removed", it is less awful than 7 Wonders, but still significantly worse than drafting Coldsnap.

The interaction in Ascension being that you can take cards that your opponent might want even if they don't fit well into your deck, resulting in us both having weak, boring decks? Awesome!Grudunza wrote: Ascension is decent. I like that there's some more interaction to it
That's been there since Dominion...Grudunza wrote: the way that VPs are drained from a collective pool

My guess is that the reason it doesn't compel you is because it manages the amazing accomplishment of having *less* theme than Dominion! On an individual chip level. On a macro level, it does indeed match its incredibly bizarre "Super Puzzle Fighter" theme...but what's the point of that?Michael Barnes wrote: Puzzle Strike is cool, but for some reason, it doesn't really compel me.

Because Super Puzzle Fighter is awesome?
Seriously, along with Tetris Attack those are my favorite puzzlers.

A lot of folks seem to rank Nightfall high, so I downloaded the app and it seems like a pretty fun game. To the folks who've played the app, does the physical game play as good or better?

Is Puzzle Strike really a deckbuilder? Or a sackbuilder?

I agree that Blood Bowl:TM must not be a deckbuilding game because it's the only one I like. Ascension on iOS is awesome but if I tried to play it in real life I would kill myself.

I actually really like Super Puzzle Fighter too, but a deckbuilder trying to reproduce that...I feel like I'm watching a porn video that just shows a dude masturbating to porn.Ken B. wrote: Because Super Puzzle Fighter is awesome?
