Well, I was just saying this because I remembered my first "game" of Cosmic Encounter.

It was with our usual gaming group and we had played lots of euros up to that point.
So we were all going in with the idea that it was as regular a game as we had played before.

We would look at the cards in our hand and the powers and tried to play them instead of the players.
How wrong we were. The cards and powers don't matter at all! Okay, they do a, but the main focus of the game is on the players and not the materials.

Cosmic Encounter is a social game. Betrayal at House on the Hill is more what I'd call "experience" rather than "game". In the latter, most of your decisions hardly matter at all. Well, they matter, but you have nothing to inform those decisions until the Haunt begins...

Hey it's a game. In 2 player people who make choices strategically instead of randomly win like almost 70% of the time over random choice players!

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Just learned about BattleCON: Devastation of Indines. It looks incredible, and I don't even like fighting games that much.  Has anybody here played it before?
