A few years back I traded away the deluxe edition of Helionox. I never played the included expansion, so no need for a big box. The base game would be enough for me. Also, around that time Helionox: Chronicles had already been announced and that looked like a cool replacement anyway.
Of course I couldn't find the original base game for a decent price. Until a few months ago. But then I hardly played anything. Now I am finally able to play games again, I got to it. I'm playing with the solo variant from the deluxe edition, as that's the one I'm used to. I'm really enjoying it again.
And look how small the box is 😍

This looks interesting!
I always liked the cover art of that one - it reminds me of the Akira manga. So I have always been tempted by the game - but I know I could never enjoy the mechanics.
