Truthfully, though, this game is definitely more of a narrative journey than…

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/8584556/micro-hero-hercules Designer: Léandre ProustPublisher: Grammes EditionArtist: Rémi Leblond You can check out my review of it, but Unstoppable recently convinced me I was a changed person and enjoyed deckbuilders now, despite my usual apprehension with them and general dislike of the system.
