The subtitles read “there are a lot of reasons I love Kevin”. Who’s Kevin!

Lately every game, and I mean EVERY game Tom recommends that I try, I love. It's weird. Apparently we have have very similar tastes. This of course, means I'll have to get Kemet some day... ug.... Another game to get! But if it's as good as he says, and I just haven't seen him be wrong in regards to my own personal tastes, I must get this!

Tom, how do you feel about the technology trees in Kemet? 16:23

You know Tom loves it when he goes, "MmmmMmmMmMm"

I actually prefer the huge d4's over these plastic pyramids. I like the art on the old board better too.

To be honest, this is probably the ugliest game board i have ever seen. I can't even describe what i'm lookin at.

Backed the Kickstarter and played my first game a couple weeks ago. I've already fallen in love with it. I do agree though that the first game feels quite overwhelming (especially since the rulebook isn't perfect imo which leads to some confusion), but man the tech tree, the excellent combat, interesting movement and the back and forth nature of players earning victory points is both tense and feels so satisfying for everyone involved.

Our first (3 player) game took way longer than 90 minutes (mostly because I had to explain the rules, nobody was familiar with the tiles, ...) but we had a lot of fun. Great game. That being said if you have the original, I think you can safely hold on to that.

The advantages of this one are:

- The 5 player aids (instead of 1 in the original). But that's easy to fix by copying the one booklet of the original.
- Tile trays are really nice (there's even a 5th one in case you would buy the expansion later on)
- This one has what many players seem to call the best parts of the first expansion (the black pyramids).
- Improved component qualities (though the original seemed to have very solid components as well so...)
- And maybe the art. I personally like the art of this one more, but at the same time there are people who prefer the original. So that's something you should decide yourself.

Am I the only one that likes the cleaner look of this version? I like the pyramids too.

I loved the original and backed this edition. I think I preferred the D4 pyramids in the first one, though.

Just one error: when you recall units after a battle, you get back X-1 prayer points for X units

I prefer the first edition I already have.
To me this one feels like the components and art are not as great.

My all-time favorite game. I just got my KS copy in earlier this week. Those trays are so nice. They definitely obsoleted the coin collecting plastic sleeves. Can’t wait to play this new version and see the improvements.

And then there's the great official soundtrack/soundscape that is free to stream while you play (wink wink)

I can't believe I did not know this existed until now. I freaking love the original Kemet, easily one of my all-time top five. I know what I'm going to buy today.

Mechanically I love Kemet, but with this new edition i think the artwork and map design and graphics leave a lot to be desired. I believe Matagot could've done a better job in that department. Good game tho....
