I appreciate you sharing your experiences with us. Glad that GU has worked out for you. I love that it's fun to play AND you make decent beer money just from playing 60 games a week.
I also gave Lost Relics a try. After playing the same dungeon (by myself) 5 times, I realized it wasn't for me. I wish it the best, but GU is fun right now. Lost Relics may be fun in a year or so.
Yeah, the niche that LR fills for me is that its something I can do with my hands while I'm trying to absorb info from audiobooks or YouTube videos.
I also wish it the best because every good P2E game elevates what the genre can be in the future.
