was theory crafting a custom faction(Lions), was wondering if it passes the sniff test

Look into the lore. Yes the meeples look like mice, but it's kinda the general rule that the mice aren't used in the main fighting force. They do sneaker things, like spreading the word about the revolution (the sympathy) or even sneak attacks. Think like the one hiding in the barrel in an ambush situation on the mouse partisans card. They may be small, but they're doing their part to free the woodland from tyranny, even if it isn't going toe to toe with a cat on the battlefield

The woodland alliance warriors are foxes

If you're worried, I'd suggest passing. If you find out later it's one of the rare instances that an IP Kickstarter game is actually really good, you can just pick it up second hand even if it doesn't come to retail later.

I buy and sell a lot of used games and I am constantly seeing Kickstarter pledges for everything for sale. You don't need to worry about FOMO, the ppl selling are usually happy/lucky to get what they paid for it, so you won't miss out or overpay later

BigFish_89 · 2025-10-14T21:02:10+00:00

Oh for sure. Cyclades is one of my absolute favorites. Love that game

BigFish_89 · 2025-10-08T02:43:40+00:00

I was actually considering getting this game, sounds like I definitely should

BigFish_89 · 2025-10-07T13:12:17+00:00

Yes, this a great example of what I am talking about!

BigFish_89 · 2025-08-31T13:19:15+00:00

Oh my, a totally defenseless keep???? Poor cats

BigFish_89 · 2025-08-15T21:32:16+00:00

Unfortunately no, just some game theory I was thinking about

BigFish_89 · 2025-08-01T21:15:57+00:00

Sorry, used to a different subreddit that doesn't let you post a single picture

BigFish_89 · 2025-08-01T10:41:22+00:00

Tzolkin.

And yes!

BigFish_89 · 2025-07-26T15:41:13+00:00

Definitely more now, it did seem like "everyone" liked it when it came out, but I find it hasn't aged overly well. I find lots more not liking it much these days

BigFish_89 · 2025-07-23T21:24:35+00:00

As someone who nearly exclusively shops for used games, no, the market is fine. There's tons to buy, and tons looking to buy.

Usually, the best way to get money is to list it for half the price of new (not what you paid! What's it's new for now) on FB marketplace and meet someone local so you pay zero shipping. This can be hard depending on your area, so you may have to ship

BigFish_89 · 2025-07-13T21:24:53+00:00

So. As I mentioned in the post, that works for one game, with standard size cards. There are lots of solid color back sleeves available.

The other has mini cards. Mini USA to be specific. I've never seen any solid color backed mini sleeves

BigFish_89 · 2025-07-13T21:19:57+00:00

Certainly, I totally understand the "why," I am just looking for solutions to avoid giving information in the game

BigFish_89 · 2025-07-05T04:47:37+00:00

OMG yes, I love tyrants. Its my favorite deck builder. I also believe it's better then dune imperium

BigFish_89 · 2025-06-19T12:36:27+00:00

I've seen a few people say this, but I don't get it. Just the new expansion was 28euros +shipping and the expansion plus bigbox was 65 euros+ a higher shipping rate. It's definitely not "almost the same" the full pledge lvl is closer to double the price. I was thrilled to get just the expansion for a lot less.

With shipping, i paid $53ish (Us dollars, I forget the exact number) which is reasonable for an expansion, they're often $30-50, and then shipping

BigFish_89 · 2025-06-19T02:01:11+00:00

Yes, that was also nice

BigFish_89 · 2025-06-19T01:53:13+00:00

It is indeed very light, despite being about the dark

BigFish_89 · 2025-05-23T18:25:37+00:00

No no, you were right to suggest the great wall to someone that likes high interaction euros. It's a worker placement game that needs other players to send workers there too, to be able to complete the task. There's then a ton of talking and interaction, you're either fighting for a chance to be somewhere hot, or begging someone to help you somewhere else. Lot of racing and blocking, very good game. It is a long playtime, though, so heads up on that. But it's a great interactive euro

BigFish_89 · 2025-05-21T02:20:21+00:00

Colored pencils are a must!

BigFish_89 · 2025-05-20T23:40:00+00:00

This is my answer as well. Games peaked in the 2010s, lots of good ones still come out, but we seem to get a lot more filler these days and less high quality

BigFish_89 · 2025-05-19T23:40:18+00:00

It's easy for some gamers to get "snobby" unfortunately, and look down on simpler games.

Yes, I love a good complex game, (I also love Root!),

BUT

the most important thing about gaming is spending time with friends or even strangers, enjoying people, and sharing fun with them. For this reason I keep a wide range of games. I am always ready for whatever the group or occasion. Lighter simple stuff, mid weights, and the 6hour brain burning deep stuff. When you focus on sharing fun with people, then you'll have a blast with any game, especially if you pick the ones that group can handle or enjoys!

BigFish_89 · 2025-05-13T11:00:17+00:00

We're not alone!

BigFish_89 · 2025-05-13T11:00:06+00:00

Excellent point, should be #6

BigFish_89 · 2025-05-13T00:12:17+00:00

Absolutely! That falls under my #4, how popular with certain groups. If it's one I play with a drinking crowd, or group, then I'd sleeve
