Windward

Windward is a unique and interesting board game set in a steampunk-esque world. The game has a lot of components, including a beautiful board, many miniatures, and a variety of cards. The gameplay is based on sailing your ship across the skies of a gas planet, hunting creatures called crestors, and battling other players.

I found the game to be quite challenging, but also very rewarding. There are a lot of different ways to play and win, which makes for a lot of replayability. The game is definitely not for everyone, as it can be difficult to learn and has a steep learning curve. I found the rulebook to be a little unclear in some areas, but there are a lot of resources available online that can help with that.

I have played this game both solo and with others, and I enjoyed it both ways. The single-player game is challenging, and the multiplayer game is a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys strategy games and steampunk themes.

However, there are some downsides. The quality of some components can be inconsistent and some users have reported issues with missing components or damaged pieces. The rulebook also needs some work, and the game has a lot of components, which can make it feel overwhelming to set up.

Overall, Windward is a great game for anyone looking for a challenging and engaging game. If you’re willing to put in the time to learn the rules, it will reward you with a lot of fun and replayability. However, you should be aware of the potential issues with the game’s quality and rulebook.
