Hull Breach: In Defiance of Dictators
Hull Breach: In Defiance of Dictators makes a slightly awkward first teach feel worthwhile very quickly. The Kickstarter package also feels like money well spent.

Hull Breach: In Defiance of Dictators took us a little while to learn, but it soon suggested there was far more in the box than a first play could show. It has the pleasant quality of a game that makes you glad you finally brought it home rather than leaving it on a wish list.
At heart it is a card game, yet the dice are not merely there for decoration; they matter to the choices in a genuinely interesting way. I have not seen dice sit so comfortably inside a card game since Warlord: Saga of the Storm.

The first session asks for a bit of patience, because the teach can become untidy. Once the relationship between cards and dice settles into place, though, you can see that the game has more to reveal and is not spent after a single introduction.
The Kickstarter package has proved very good value, which matters for a game I had wanted to get hold of for some time. I would not call it perfect; I would call it the sort of box I quietly want to put in the holiday bag again. For an adult who counts free hours like loose change, that is close to the highest recommendation.
