Thanks for the critical yet positive review Paul, your analytical voice is always appreciated in the forest of hype videos 🙂 I understand your thematic disconnect about the Thursday/Sunday rule, here is the logic I use to teach it: It's nothing to do with the crowdsize, it's a modifier of your popularity. The most popular illusionist gets the Sunday Headliner position, so whenever he appears on any day of the week, people go nuts. The guy on the Thursday Headliner is less popular, "not so hot", so whenever they pop up on a different day, they just get a mild applause. One tiny correction: the Magician powers are NOT included in the core product. They were included in the 1st KS "Legend" box and the 2nd KS "Collectors ed" but otherwise they're part of a small expansion Trickerion: Dahlgaard's Gifts

Well, 5 games in, this is news to me, but yay, this correction will definitely cut-off a very annoying strategy one of our players has developed.

I shared the same issue with the theater rule. I resolve this thematical disconnect as following: If you place your worker on a Sunday you are announced as the famos Sunday Magician. If you place on Thursday you are known as the lousy during the week magician.

The thematic explanation of why your tricks get the penalty from Thursday (or no modifiers from Friday/Saturday) even if they get performed in another Magician’s show on Sunday is that people knew you (or one of your crew) were in the theatre on Thursday, prepping something up (from insiders or rumors) and you only performed as a guest on another day, so the audience feels a bit let down. Mind you that if you performed your own show on Thursday you’d get the same penalties but for a different reason (early weekdays you have fewer audience, just like you pointed out). If you have no worker in the theatre (nobody ever saw you or your crew setting something up) and then you guest perform on Sunday in another magician’s show, people are surprised and you get the bonus from Sunday (if you have no worker in the theatre when your tricks are performed, you get the yield bonus/penalty) of the performer)

Great review, as always! Trickerion, especially with the new expansion(s), is my #1 favorite game of all time, with Cerebria a close second. To me, for my tastes, it’s pretty much perfection in every aspect that is reviewable in a board game, and it works beautifully at all player counts, and with every expansion, large and small. We have not played with the Magicians’ Powers much, only because the game is already very long, and the extra pregame planning gets a bit much; with the new contraptions expansion they’re not really missed.

I like Trickerion, Skip. It's definitely up there. I'm a big Mindclash fan. But I prefer Anachrony over Trickerion. I love the idea of the "borrow" time travel element, where you have to fix the timeline. It gives better options to try to win. In Trickerion, it's pretty much the same: get tricks, perform tricks, get points and money. Still in my top 3! ;)

Great review as always Paul. This is one of those games that I'm still undecided on. It looks, on paper at least, to be a game that I would enjoy but having watched your play through videos and this review I am now in the position where I really need to play it to make the final decision. I wasn't captured by the play through streams which is always a sign that a game really isn't for me but I really, really, want to like it.

Great review - thanks so much for this. We adore this game. We have the ridiculous (aka collector's) edition. We often play two players using the dueling magicians option and find it to be quite fun. Our favourite combo is dark alley, prophecies, powers and Dalghards Academy. The only one we've been like warm on is the contraptions. That could change with more attempts. We agree about that weird performance rule for when and how benefits are applied and have house ruled that bit. The variations depending on your magician, your opponents, the setup, the modules etc. are just so vast that this game doesn't have to ever feel the same way twice. Definitely a top ten all time for us. Looking forward to Perseverance Castaway Chronicles and hope to see your fingerprints on the rule book as well as one of your videos for that game.

After playing Academy, I don’t think I would play without it again. It’s that good. To be able to enhance your tricks and then retire them and have them earning points again just takes the game to another level. Give it a go soon!

An App that you can plug in what resources you have and it'll show you what spells use those resources, or partial and what you need to finish them, would be amazing. Looking through the book and planning is such an unimportant analysis paralysis part of the game.

Nice review, it was the Thursday/Sunday performance rules that I had heard was a bit odd from done friends that played the original back in 2015. I've never played it partly never had the chance, i'd like to give it a go, your review made it sound a bit dungeon lords'y in that there is a fair bit of planning.

I think Trickerion is a fantastic game, and I'm coming from a very aggressive gaming side of the table. I play board games with my group even though we're not usually a great fit. I prefer the "ameritrash" games with lots of player interaction and randomness. If all of your actions are limited and set in stone like most euro games are, then there's no difference between the othe rp layers at the table and a bunch of robots. I'll never understand why everyone loves Euro games so much but shudders at the thought of introducing any amount of randomness or player interaction into a game. To me, it just seems like people try to convince themselves that the game is a cooperative and friendly experience and that we can all win together so let's discourage screwing the other players over and taking things away from them and all of that. That's what euro games seem like to me, and that philosophy is so ass backwards because there is almost always 1 winner, and if there's more then it's usually a hollow victory because you're sharing it with someone else. It pretends to be nice and friendly by preventing player interaction and aggression, but it's all smoke and mirrors, and euro games suffer as a result of it. The themes are often bland and uninspired because we can't possibly afford to introduce an aggressive theme into a game where we don't want to be aggressive. Anyway, all ranting aside, this is one euro game I actually love despite not liking euro games at all, and I love it *specifically* because of how you need to play against and around other players. You need to be able to count on them trying to screw you out of a resource that you need or trying to take a trick from you that you wanted. This game introduces a lot more complexity to factor into the equation than the usual safe, boring options you get from euro games. It baffles me how people don't get bored of quantifiable set in stone results. Trickerion puts all other euros in their place on the bottom shelf in my opinion.

Took delivery of the 2021 reprint version of the game a week ago. There are some apparent changes to the game from previous versions that I found watching this and other KZitem videos on this game. The magician ability is now fixed for each magician, gone are the ability cards, and some other mechanics have been simplified. Don't suppose you want to revisit it?

Paul, did you notice that the rulebook actually never mentions to take back the permanent assignment cards in the clean-up phase? It becomes obvious when you understand how the game works, but the rules don’t actually say it. They didn’t fix it in the collector’s rulebook either 🤦♂️
