In Alpina, you explore the Swiss National Park with a camera around your neck to photograph animals in their natural habitat. The spotted nutcracker, grass frogs, and more are waiting for you and offer you a unique opportunity to collect points in an original way that is related to the landscape and interaction with your neighbors.

Do you play a card to score more points, or do you use the opportunity to deceive your opponents? Find the card that allows you to strike a balance between these two objectives, and victory will be yours!

Excellent Dungeon Crawler

Fateforge is one of the best dungeon crawlers I've ever played. Setup and teardown is reasonably quick, although the box only barely managed to contain its contents with the added expansion. The social and exploration sections of the game are fun, with simple 'skill checks' and having to navigate a physical map to get around the city. Combat is surprisingly quick and snappy thanks to characters rolling just four dice, generating four symbols, and then spending those to Move, attack enemies in Melee and with ranged Shots, or generate Focus for certain special skills. The enemies have simple behaviors which let you plan your turns a lot more effectively.

My two criticisms are (1) the game is really stingy with money and (2) the app really needs a back/undo button. While you can't really fix the second issue, I recommend fixing the first by letting the party heal 3 Health instead of 2 for each gem spent resting, and letting the players sell unwanted equipment for half its value, rounded down, when they visit a store. This will give the party slightly more money to buy and upgrade skills and get better weapons but shouldn't make the game too easy, especially if you're playing for the first time.
