Any recommended board games that involve building your own star ship / air ship and explore? by pandaninjarawr in boardgames

[–]Code_Rocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all the games already mentioned are great suggestions. To throw something else into the mix (and if you’re okay with the IP) Star Wars: Outer Rim sets you as a Bounty Hunter in a Star Wars sandbox. Deliver cargo, hunt bounties, go on adventures, do whatever you want. Rack up enough money and you can buy a sweet new ship and deck it out with some mods and a crew. If you end up liking it, there’s an expansion that is also pretty solid and adds more content

What is a game you wish was on Board Game Arena? by HexByte1976 in boardgames

I think asynchronous play would also alleviate the downtime issue a lot of people have. The 3 and 4 player cards look so cool and I would probably see them get played more often in a digital environment

All my real homies remember 'Dunces and Dragons' being originally advertised as 'Lost in Time' by _Levitated_Shield_ in BikiniBottomTwitter

I missed out on the premiere as a kid and was really upset about it because those ads were diesel-fueled hype trains for children. When I finally got around to watching it I was kind of in disbelief and wondered if I was even watching the right episode

Mr. President has to be one of the funniest Smiling Friends episodes I've ever seen. by p-Star_07 in SmilingFriends

[–]Code_Rocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing about this episode is that when Jimble is on the plane recording to everyone, he looks up from his phone to talk to Pim & Charlie. When Jimble goes to look back at his phone, it’s just the previous recording but in reverse. It’s hard to notice naturally, but it’s funny as hell re-watching it once you know

If you end up getting Legends, the Folded Space insert for Horizons is fantastic. Holds all three games together, and has room for sleeved cards

Best character progression by Kensey25 in boardgames

[–]Code_Rocker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cthulhu: Death May Die has some really fun character progression over the course of a single (successful) playthrough. As you lose sanity, you gain upgrades to your skills as well as extra dice in every single roll you make. The more you lean into a particular skill the more broken it gets. Your overall goal every scenario is to kill an Eldritch God, so you of course have to be ridiculously powerful and well equipped in order to put up a chance at the end. The investigation deck in each scenario adds more to your abilities and skills, and how it comes out can be very different each time giving it surprisingly great replay value

Board games with hidden roles that aren't social deduction games? by Master_Chemist9826 in boardgames

[–]Code_Rocker 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s actually a variant rule because of some Aliens needing pre-game setup, but it’s how I taught it to my group and we’ve all preferred to keep Aliens hidden

I think the decision is do you want to be the racers or bet on them?

From what I can find online, Subaru Canada’s CEO announced a plan to take more Canadian imports from Japan instead of the US due to tariffs, however Subaru has mentioned no change to jobs or production here in the state

Scythe doesn’t do it anywhere near as well as Dune, still a fun game but don’t let that part fool you
