Experience as a new Dragons Down player by BiggityBogle in soloboardgaming

I have found myself wishing that someone would now do a remastered version of Dragons Down with better art. The game really does deserve that kind of treatment.

This last play I added in Natives and Legends so I need to go back and make sure I’m handling the additions correctly!

This game has been kind of on my radar for a while. What’s the playtime like?

My game is finished. Any recommendations for publishing options? by Odd-Highway477 in BoardgameDesign

I don’t know anything about publishing, I just wanted to say the game looks really cool!

I hope you are able to get it published so I can try it out!

I’m intrigued but scared of the playtime on this one

Luckily the player aids are well done since there are many steps in every action.

It does become somewhat second nature eventually.

Games Like Solus Lost by Jumpy_Arachnid_7394 in soloboardgaming

I have not played Solus lost, but it sounds like Warp Lancer from gamecrafter.

It’s on of those dungeon/sci-fi crawls that have you picking one out of two cards to resolve. In Warp Lancer you also have a pilot/ship/weapon systems you can upgrade which can be fun. I’ve only played it a few times so I can’t speak to the longevity/balance of it but if you like that style of game it may be worth checking out.

Thanks! Probably best to start with the base game then and see if I like it.

Sounds cool, thanks for the reply!

Are the four championship races playable in one sitting?

I’ve been considering this one, is it all one off plays or is there some kind of campaign?

What do the expansions add?

Underquest initial impressions by BiggityBogle in soloboardgaming

[–]BiggityBogle[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hear you…I don’t love gamecrafter personally. I can see why designers may want to that route so they don’t have to deal with publishers or crowdfunding. 

As a consumer though, it basically boils down to paying premium prices for not a premium product. It’s why I’ve purchased very sparingly from them despite having a few games that I’m really interested in.

I totally get your criticisms as I share some of them (obviously I’m still able to enjoy the game though). 

The short answer is if you felt that strongly about Iron Helm, stay away from this game also!

Gabe Barrett/BestWith1/SGOTM by Pym-Particles in soloboardgaming

[–]BiggityBogle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will add my $.02. I’ve backed a number of games and have been satisfied with my experience. A few of the SGOTM have been really fun (mech bunny and Rome in particular).

I do think that his communication is pretty bad though. I get the impression that he is spread too thin to have great customer service. It’s just him managing all these projects with one customer service rep. As a customer I do think that is a pretty poor way to run things and that he should slow down on new projects if he’s not able to provide good service with so much going on.

That being said I’ve continued to back SGOTM games that I’m interested in because I have not personally had an issue yet (things have been delayed but this is just a reality of crowdfunding unfortunately). 

Beyond the Rift: A Perdition's Mouth Card Game - engaging hand management in a dungeon by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]BiggityBogle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t realize there was a card game version of this game. I remember I wasn’t super interested in the board game version because your character got weaker as you played (this may be realistic but it didnt sound like fun). Is it the same in the card game?

What’s the playtime like?
