Power Vacuum (2024)

“Put this all together and you get one heck of a trick-taker. Power Vacuum hits the sweet spot between low complexity and high intrigue, calling to mind some of the best examples of the genre, exemplars such as Ghosts of Christmas, Shamans, and Bug Council of Backyardia.”

“All in all I'm again really impressed by this game really impressed uh really think if you have any interest in trick taking games I am a big fan of this one now too”(38:25)

“Power vacuum is a messy trick taker but I quite like it that way. There's a lot of extras for the genre that don't make the game particularly clean, but but do make it dramatic and they push this sort of quirky meta that develops outside of the written rules.”(8:19)

“There's very few trick ticking games we've liked if any I mean there's like I could count it probably one hand and so or I mean it's like very very few and so this is like one of the ones that we actually enjoyed playing”(12:37)

“I really really enjoyed it I think this is going to be a wonderful game to have at conventions cuz it plays pretty quick it's interesting it's easy to understand all around I really am impressed with this”(14:04)

“Honestly I enjoyed this most of the people we played with enjoyed it I I think it's been a lot of fun um yeah and I'm excited for this campaign and excited to see how it goes”(9:09)

“If Power Vacuum could consistently deliver those moments, this would be a rave. As it is, the game is occasionally great, but mostly alright. I can’t shake the feeling that there’s a greater game here, or that this one isn’t quite done baking.”

“I do think, however, if you like trick-taking games and you want some uniqueness, you want something that's going to stand out from other trick-t games, this is certainly one of them. And I think that's its biggest strength is that it takes some big swings.”(14:51)
