Ada's Dream (2025)

“Ada’s Dream lives up to its title, as it truly is a dream to play. It’s a heavy Eurogame for sure, but not necessarily because of the rules overhead.”

“It's a really solid game. I've enjoyed this a lot. I actually think I kind of prefer this to Newton.”(35:58)

“Like going up different tracks and combos and bonuses and getting cards that make you more powerful and trying to figure out the puzzle of where to put your dice so you get the most points. Uh, lots of fun with Adah's Dream.”

“It's uh been really satisfying playing the solo mode of it. It's got a great easy to learn solo mode as well.”

“I really appreciate the game. I really like the game. I can't wait to get just play after play into this one. And the also the solo is really well done because it takes a very complex thing and makes it possible without a bunch of if then conditions.”(26:18)

“I love the decision space of Ada’s Dream. I love balancing the timing—when to draft dice and when to take Actions. I love watching other players, anticipating the priority of their available Actions to predict the timing of my own.”

“For me, I just think it's fun. I'm going to land on eight as well. I think it's a great game. I would recommend you check out to see if it's going to be for you or not.”(11:52)

“Overall, um, I did really enjoy this game. I really like that each section of the map feels very different. They have totally different, like, mini games going on.”(18:34)

“I would say that if you enjoy a satisfying puzzle, particularly as it relates to how you're going to score your points”(17:18)

“If you like to sit there and really mull over all of the different choices and decisions, and you like that cognitive overload of trying to optimize everything in the exact right way, yeah, well, then you're going to love this.”(18:02)

“Personally, I lean closer to the it feels kind of chock-full of options to me, but I could see you feeling the other way because again, there's so many things that you're trying to do to kind of achieve this this goal of getting the most points”(9:15)

“The best thing about this game is the player board. I love this part of the game and the puzzle it presents. However, as much as I like the central puzzle, I find the rest of the game quite over-engineered with so many different actions, tracks, set bonuses, and other things to keep track of.”(3:05)
