How does the Magic Cube compare to the smaller Epic?

They are very similar. Both work great. The only difference is the Epic is more sleek.

Don't know anything about the Epic but would be interested to knowyour experience if you decide to get it instead. Magic Cube works as advertised and is a great source of conversation when usd with my i-pad.

I'm sorry but I don't have any experience with the smaller Epic. What is the "smaller Epic"? I just didn't keep this keyboard since I could not adjust to typing. Typing on a flat surface is very very challenging for me.

This is the larger variation yes. The other is the mini, it's exceedingly small

Given the similarities, I'd go with the less expensive version, with shield. You could always take off the shield if you dislike it, but it serves a use. Most of the other construction seems similar, and the one with shield has slightly larger wheels.

I believe so. I think thunderstone cards are very slightly bigger than MTG cards, but the sleeves are a little big on MTG cards anyway. if you're just looking to keep a lot of cards from getting damaged in storage or something, go for it.

I enjoy both but prefer the Qwirkle cubes. It gives you a chance for more choices.

Yes the miniatures are basically the same as DnD minis. The board is similar but uses hexagons instead of a square grid.

This is a smaller model with similar characteristics. I wouldn't consider it a step up.

Bigger is better. Having said that, I was buying for 2 kids so I wanted enough so there wouldn't be any chance of squabbles. There are some unique pieces in the 220 set.

Very similar, especially in the smaller sizes. The main difference is the construction of the lower par . No huge difference but worth a good look at the pics to see if you have a preferenc . I think if you are going to have standing water in the bottom the Exo Terra may be better. These will have a tendency to leak out the front vent.

If you're looking to buy one or the other, I'd recommend going with Avalon. Simply because you can take out all the extra character cards and the lady of the lake and play it just like the original resistance. I also recommend playing it that way until everyone is comfortable with the original concept before adding in the extra stuff from Avalon. Avalon just offers so much more variety to the game. If you start getting bored with the original there's always a new character to add in that will spice the game back up.

Since you mentioned sailing, get the 8x36 version. As power increases, hand shake becomes more noticeable. It's also worth noting the extra eye-relief the 8x has over the 10x: you'll appreciate the eye-relief if you wear corrective lenses and/or sunglasses.

It's rather difficult to compare, but I can tell you that the tiles in the set I purchased (Western Mah Jong in burgundy bag) are a bit smaller than the full size tiles that my friends have in their traditional Chinese sets. With that said though, I actually prefer this size as it fits well on my comparatively small kitchen table, which is where the set normally gets used.

There is no difference. Not sure why you are seeing it as more expensive. I'd just try to get the larger one at the lowest price you can find.

Absolutely, no comparison. Note; you must have a lighter touch compared to the original cube . Some say don't get this speedcube until your solve times are under 3 minutes, but I advise getting this cube even if you're a newbie. Using the original cube will help with control and build strength because it is so difficult to turn. There are some inferior knockoffs, but I ordered five of these cubes from Amazon and all were good. I haven't figured out how to recognize the Dayan's from the knockoffs, and maybe it is better to order from a specialty cube shop. Of course, the price might be considerably higher. I mostly agree with the other answers. Good luck Absolutely, no comparison. Note; you must have a lighter touch compared to the original cube .

only consists of larger cards which make it a lot easier to hold and minor changes in the directions on how many cards you get and discard. all fits in the origonal box. awsume. the europe one is almost more fun. game
