What is your favorite aspect of the Raptor board game?
This game is simple, fun, and moves fast. The dealer moving every round lets everyone have a moment where they're 'leading' the game, but it's nothing more complicated than flipping cards for people. I have two groups of people that I'll play board games with - people that love a lot of thinking, and ones that just want to have uncomplicated fun. Flip 7 is awesome for people that want to have un-complicated fun. The unique makeup of the deck (12 12's, 11 11's, etc) and the extra bit of card variety with a few actions and bonuses creates a good mix. For more 'party night' style board game events, this is one of the best.
I know this game is divisive, but I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Part of me thinks the divisiveness comes from whether you're up for punishing games. Right now, I don't want a game to kick my butt after a long slog of a day. I just want to have fun and explore. This is it. Vantage has plenty of medium-level challenge and decision space. But you fail forward and get to have an incredible experience.
Too many open world, exploration games punish you for exploring. Vantage is refreshing and absolutely awesome.
