Bristol 1350

The cart movement mechanic feels so frantic, especially when the plague cubes start spreading faster. We've been playing nonstop since it arrived.

The tension of racing to escape the plague is so real, especially when someone lands a "quarantine" action that sends you back a space. I love how the push-your-luck element with the infection dice keeps everyone on edge until the very last turn.

We played this three times in one night and the panic of racing your cart out before the plague hits is genuinely tense. The player boards and cards are sturdy enough to survive some excited table slamming, and setup takes barely five minutes.
