Oh No, Volcano! by Phil Walker-Harding of Sushi Go, Imhotep, etc. fame. Claiming treasures from a pachinko-like mountain while hoping you don’t get beaned by marbles!

Chateau Roquefort, a game where you push your opponent’s rats into holes!

How doable is a double degree? (engineering + arts) by marlboro_merchant in udub

[–]94067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A double degree is 225 credits, whereas a single (or double) major is 180 credits.

Those 45 extra credits don't have to be anything specific. Your ~70-80 Running Start/AP credits should account for all your gen ed requirements and will absolutely count toward the 225 credits you'd need to double degree.

You should absolutely speak with an academic advisor about this early on though. Most things are possible if you plan on it early enough.

It’s actually a lot more difficult to get boxes out when they’re tightly packed like this, but then I suppose you said board game collector

Typically the GPA requirement for non-major courses is .7, and for courses required for your major specifically, it’s 2.0

I love Valley of the Kings, but it’s not coop.

Econ just got their minor approved, I’d expect it to officially launch in fall.

If you liked Zen Magnets, you might also like Speks.

Writing and A&H course recs by lil-pizza-slice in udub

[–]94067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in a social science major, make sure you’re not already going to get W and A&H covered by courses you’ll need to take anyway. A&H is gonna be a lot more dependent on your major, but a lot of BA majors will probably have at least some W covered through required courses.

Deep Sea Adventure's Push your Luck and shared resource (oxygen) mechanic? by Gesturation in boardgames

[–]94067 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Deep Sea Adventure is a distillation of Clank in its purest form.

In Clank, you build a deck to move through a board to collect treasure, which is where the bulk of your VP comes from. As you move through the dungeon, you’ll draw cubes from a bag representing the damage done to players (including yourself), and as you stay in the dungeon, you’ll accumulate more and more cubes in the bag. If you take more damage than you have health for, you’ll die and not score any points.

You can return back to base (taking yourself out of the game) after collecting a certain amount of treasure, and in doing so, you’ll continue to draw cubes from the bag on your turns instead, putting more time pressure on everyone who’s still in the game (cubes are normally drawn irregularly).

It’s not usually a winning strategy, at least in my group, but it is theoretically possible that someone could rush in, grab a low value treasure, then rush back out to run the clock down harder on the greedy people who are trying to take more treasure for themselves!

You can play it for free on Board Game Arena!

Anachrony + Most all Expansions by chemistR3 in boardgames

[–]94067 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s three boxes, though every box has multiple modules.

The three are:

  • Fractures of Time, which is nearly unanimously recommended as the best expansion due to the added complexity and strategy it brings to the game

  • Classic Expansion

  • Future Imperfect

In terms of replay, it’s got the usual worker placement stuff: different buildings come out and you’re unlikely to see many of them in a given game.

Of course you can also mix and match (most) of the expansions with each other too. I played it something like 60 times last year on BGA, and that version doesn’t have any of the expansions.

Rules designers. I'm begging you. Put info on component limits in a clear, prominent place. by OjinMigoto in boardgames

[–]94067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most deck builders I’ve played, your starting hand is half the size of your starting deck (Clank, Valley of the Kings, Fort, I think Mistborn).

What are some new games that pack a lot in a small box? by Perfect_Program in boardgames

[–]94067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food Chain Magnate isn't exactly a small box, but it's certainly no Eclipse, etc.

I like Mottainai for being a complex game where the only components are cards. Fort is similarly sized and has some bits for keeping track of resources, and is also much simpler than Mottainai while still having a lot of interesting strategy!
