“I think mechanically speaking it's incredibly sound, but ultimately I'm not sure I like it just because it is so thinky in that regard, almost too much for me personally.”

“Overall, I love this game, it suits my tastes as a lover of deck-building games like Star Realms and the 30 minute playtime is just the right amount for games to feel interactive without getting stale.”

“Line of Fire: Burnt Moon manages to bring much of the same tense, tactical decision making of Osprey’s larger Undaunted series to a smaller bite-sized game that only takes about a half hour to play.”

“I want to love this game and I do like it, but it's not quite I think some of the um some of the things that they brought from Undaunted aren't doing them as much favors as they wanted to.”(48:42)

“Line of Fire: Burnt Moon is an interesting deck builder that makes each turn feel a bit like a puzzle to be solved. You can see what your opponent is adding to their deck, you know their cards because they’re also yours, and mistakes are harshly punished.”

“On the whole I really did enjoy this game. I think it's a good solid deck building card game. It's one of its chief virtues is it's not terribly long.”(13:33)

“Burnt Moon, from the Line of Fire series, feels like the jumping off point of a new endeavor. As such, the design feels like it must work out some growing pains to truly find its footing.”

“I am recommending this one with kind of a big caveat is that this is not a game for everybody, and that's okay, right? Uh, and and I find it to be a lot of fun because of that struggle”(14:57)

“Line of Fire Burnt Moon is a rare miss for me from these two designers. The game isn’t awful and I do think that if you like the look and sound of this, then I would suggest a try before you buy because you never know, this could still be for you.”
