#8 Origin Story
Origin Story is a Trick Taking Superhero themed game. Wait! What? That's right, "a Trick Taking Superhero" game. This game seems catered to my interests. In fact, the first video that I ever saw talking about the game had me geeking out, and I turned to Julie, who just smiled at me. "I already ordered it." she said calmly. "It will be here Wednesday." Gosh! I love my wife.
Players play 5 rounds of a pretty standard trick-taking game. Before each round, players choose one from three different cards showing super powers, picking a power to permanently add to their player board. Each round a new power is added creating your hero's origin story as you go.
The powers are used to influence card play during the card "battles" with the other players. At first everyone can do just a little to change the game and break the rules, but by the fifth round players have a full powered superhero and can impact the card play from trick to trick quite a lot.
Origin Story is fun! It's surprisingly thematic, and it plays well at two players.
