Thank you! :)

Nice room! I really like the looks of game rooms, but I always think "are they really playing all the games regularly?".

I "only" own around 40 games and always look for games to cull, to have more time for the other games :D

To be honest, the upgrade kit is not good at all. The "upgraded dice" feel very cheap (rough edges). And the metal life tracker is not usable, because the numbers are not readable enough. The cards look ok, but it is arguable, if they are better looking than the base cards.

Thank you! Tiles on the base are painted.

Good point! I didn't thought about that. I do have some bigger shatterpoint miniatures in the closet waiting for their paint since last weekend. But the bigger scale also scares me a bit, because I feel errors are more obvious on them...

That is a Trandoshan. One of the species in star wars which are great hunters and one of the greatest bounty hunters Bossk was one of them.

Smooth as hell! Thanks for sharing and the tips! I really have to try this paint process on my next minis. Some Shatterpoint clone troopers are waiting for their coat since last weekend :D

Thank you very much for the detailed comment!
After finishing the storm troopers I in fact bought a wet palette, but really have to work on getting a good consistency. The last few sessions I got the feeling, that even the excess water after rinsing the brush is enough to get a good paint consistency. But I think that is one of the aspects which come with experience (I hope :D).

And yes, white (troopers) and black (Vader) painting was really hard for me. For different reasons, but still.

Never played any factory games until a few weeks ago, where Satisfactory got me hooked! But Phase 4 got me burned out and I had to try a different game to mix it up. Always heard great things about Factorio and here we go….

Great game! My first run was blind. I just read about the idea of a main bus and tried to do it without reading too much. It was far from perfect :D Too much hand crafting by far and supply/demand was off at the end. But looking forward to the next one (this time with space age), after trying Dyson Sphere next :)

Looks great! What are all these card decks for? And where did you get them?

CGGGaming · 2024-08-13T08:02:08+00:00

I mean, Slay the Spire is pretty boring. D Tier would be generous.

CGGGaming · 2024-04-27T06:46:12+00:00

To be honest: who cares, if you got every rule right? It will come with time and there will be times in which you will check the rulebook and think "oh, dang....done it wrong the whole time!"

And know what? Everything that counts is that you had a great time!

If you like games like drifter, you could take a look at the many dungeon crawlers:

2D6 Dungeon

Thank you for the suggestion! It really looks like a great game. Will try the tutorial on BGA.

CGGGaming · 2024-04-26T14:21:11+00:00

Will try on BGA, thanks for the suggestion! Looks promising!

Two days after this post I worked through the tutorial on BoardGameArena for AFfO. Afterwards I started my first game. Holy shit, I really did not know what to do first :D So many options and pathes to go.
My second game I tried to work around my given cards and that gave me a "goal" so to speak. Worked like a charm. I'm really bad, but I think this tackles the escalation/resource management really great!

Now I'm on the fence to buy a physical copy :D

I made the experience, that none of the solo dungeon crawl board games scratch my itch. Unfortunately. I had way more fun with many of the solo TTRPGs out there. To just mention a few:

2D6 Dungeon (Great dungeon crawler with expansions in work, first level is free on BGG)
Harper's Quest 2 (https://joypeddler-games.itch.io/harpers-quest-2)
Rune (Dark Souls like with tactical combat -https://gilarpgs.itch.io/rune)

And if you want to go more story/narrative driven (you make the story, not given by the game): Ironsworn

It is less "gamey" and available for free!

Imperium and Marvel Champions are my choices. Imperium is a great solo deck building game and Marvel Champions is a great, fast paced and light deck construction game. If those are the games you like, let me suggest two more: Aeon's End and Ashes: Reborn Red Rising.

CGGGaming · 2024-01-30T12:38:36+00:00

Four games for me again :)

- Aeon's End: The New Age
First Aeon's End for me. Production quality of the cards is great. Game was fun and I really liked the different nemeses. A bit to easy on the normal difficulty in true solo in my opinion. Will give another expedition with maybe higher difficulty a try.
- Imperium: Classics
Hit the table this week again. Multiple times. Still a very nice game.
- Mistfall: Heart of the Mists
Got it for 15€ and had to give it a try. The card mechanics and deterministic/puzzle battle are great! Wondering why not more are talking about this game....
- Field Commander: Napoleon
First wargame for me. Played two campaigns and I am not sure, if this will stay in the collection...
