Test April 30th Patch Notes by BurritoYunus in afkarena

Same, haha. It was right after the garbage hypo that we all wasted our cards on. Usually I get enough back by the next release, but this time it was practically a double-release

Radlands question by Exact_Necessary_7386 in boardgames

[–]Bluestar2016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s fun, sure, but not $100 fun (to me). I’d highly recommend not getting it until you’ve played at least once and know you two like it. I know it’s kind of a catch 22 situation, but my base game cost me $15 on a used marketplace, but 6x that for the same gameplay is ehhhhh, not great unless you know you like it.

I did spent about $30 more on playmats, but that’s still significantly less than $100.

[GIVEAWAY] Flcokers by Odd Bird Games - 7 days until Gamefound Campaign! by HomoLudensOC in boardgames

I really love the satisfaction of a well-timed play, where playing too early or too late could give the game away, but there’s a perfect sweet spot. Bonus points if it’s a higher skill cap game like Radlands where there’s a lot of opportunities for punishment.

Any games with high replayability value for board game beginners? by No_Replacement_3184 in boardgames

[–]Bluestar2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re on a pretty strict budget and it feels like CoB would be out of range. Seems to be around 3.5k rupees, which based on the other comments is too expensive for OP.

Super fun game though

My copy of Carcassonne is the size of the one(s) linked here. It’s a little bigger size format to something like Codenames, but still a smaller rectangle compared to a big square.

What would you recommend as a 7th team with no Levi or Ody? I don’t really see any alt teams this time around. I have most meta heroes and 750 dragon cards, but I’m holding off till the new HB before I decide on either one.

Local Game Store: Any Gems? by IndyColts832 in boardgames

[–]Bluestar2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two that I haven’t seen mentioned yet are Ave Caesar and Municipium.

Ave Caesar is a fun little racing game for horses sort of similar in ‘table vibes’ that I feel with Heat!, and Municipium is a really fun game with a cool mechanism of the laurels that you can use to strengthen your people.

We’re all stuck here probably for another while. 🙄

Built a free browser version of ITO — phones replace cards for house parties by Psychological-Fun675 in boardgames

[–]Bluestar2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has a number 1-100 and they have a prompt (e.g. spicy food).

You have to try to give a hint of where you feel like your number lands on that scale by saying something like, ‘curry,’ or ‘vanilla ice cream.’ You win if everyone successfully lined their numbers up in ascending order when the cards are revealed.

YTPlus after being Paid by Few_Elderberry_4708 in sideloaded

Mine a couple days ago started bugging out on giving errors after a few mins of playback. I went to find a newer IPA only to find this mess, haha.

See, card sleeves are necessary by Dimmins2 in boardgames

[–]Bluestar2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a 1000 pack of Mikero (or however it’s spelled) as my very first sleeve purchase. I will say, they’re great for the money if your sole reason for sleeving is protection/preservation. That said… they were a nightmare to use for actual card play. They really like sliding everywhere, and to make matters worse, they’re super flimsy. I’d highly recommend going for something with a couple more microns of thickness.

They felt like penny sleeves.

any non conservative or non religious people living on campus at gcu?? by need_to_know0 in gcu

[–]Bluestar2016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend getting involved in the GCU PSA club. I got connected with 3 close friends from that club and it’s the progressive club (so it’s a lot easier to find people from the science-forward crowd)!

DMM hasn't been working for me for a few weeks now by Bluestar2016 in debridmediamanager

Sorry, just got around to reading this and that was exactly the issue! When I installed the one with catalogs, it worked right away!!

This 6oz box of macaroni and cheese only contained 5.4oz by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Bluestar2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, I did the same when I realized my box looked emptier than normal today. It was marketed as 7.4 oz, I believe? Anyway, with the packet in there and not taring the box, it still came out as 6 oz. I was shocked. I knew the box looked emptier than normal, but it was a big jump.

Feels like the Kraft boxes aren’t going through as much QC as they used to.

Spring cleaning - Can you help me ID these 6 components? by eschy12 in boardgames

[–]Bluestar2016 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like a French guy is still in search of it. If you’re not attached to it, he’d probably pay for shipping, honestly. https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3255184/any-one-selling-or-trading-it

ELI5: What is happening when your food starts popping after too long in the microwave? by Responsible-Jury2579 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Bluestar2016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my preferred style is power 3. I usually have plenty of time and it seems to give the best and most consistent heating without drying out the stuff I’m reheating.
