My plan was foiled

I got as a birthday present the board game version of Dead Cells. Thanks Diego! (here I would link his website, if he had one).
The game is pretty big when setup, still I figured I could do it downstairs, and make up for the small table using the couch. Suzie had other plans :)

I had tagged this #reviews, but then realized, there's a ton of other reviews floating around already. I don't think I have anything new to add.
Subjectively: I love the game. It is somewhat complex, at least for someone with limited exposure to board games, like me. The rogue-lite aspects are handled wonderfully. And same for the way elements from the game are translated to the board version: poison, bleeding, collecting cells, blueprints, etc.

At the same time, as the runs go by, I get better at the game, and each combat runs smoother. And since I also have more attacks and equipment as my disposal, the game is getting slightly easier...although I'm still stuck in the first two biomes. And mostly the first one, being honest...

If you liked the game and play board games, getting this is a no brainer!
