Today we review Origins: First Builders by Adam Kwapinski, better known for super-thematic American games like Nemesis that he's designed for Awaken Realms. He's given us a new dice drafting game about worshipping alien motherships. Have you ever wanted to play out the plot of Stargate, with ancient aliens assisting primitive humans to become dominant civilizations? Well too bad, because Origins: First Builders is a themeless Euro published by Board & Dice, publisher of themeless euros. But have you wanted to play a highly mechanistic combotastic game with many balanced strategies? Well... listen and find out if this is the one for you.We also get overly enthusiastic about dice. We just want to touch dice. This is the topic.
