How do you feel about "boardgame themed universes"?
Since some years ago I've been noticing a big amount of boardgames based on other boardgames theme (take for example Everdell, Everdell duo, Silverfrost, Emerland, etc). That's what I mean by "boardgame themed universe". So this made me wonder, does people really enjoy so much content based on one original boardgame? I'm not used to it, so maybe that's why I feel it kind of weird, so I'm curious to hear everyone's opinion.
When I started playing boardgames I really enjoyed having a varied collection in terms of theme, mechanics, duration, and player count. I really disliked when a boardgame needed an expansions for more players (as Catan). I sometimes wonder if I feel the same for "Duo" versions. Why wouldn't the designers include a good variation for two player in the base game?
For example, I really enjoy Everdell, and I usually play it with 2 players. It's pretty fun, so I don't get the need for the "Duo" version (although I get that it might be different for other players).
Please don't take my post wrong, and let's keep the good vibes of the boardgaming community! #games source
