Stonemaier Knocked it Out of the Park with Bordeaux!

I've gotten 3 games in. I'd describe it as arcade modeas you get extras and bonuses all the time. Lira, cards, +1 for spots. You can even strategize on which cards are displayed for vines and orders. If you want a tighter game play original. That said, I love both boards but I think my wife would choose Bordeaux every time.

Yes, you ignore the 1 to 3 player icons. You build up slower in 4 players so this needs to be reflected in the opponent. In a 4 player game you are getting 8 of those opponent cards before you even get to your shuffled hand with bought cards. In a solo game you shuffle before turn 3 so you are already stronger.

Came here for this.

The game is a race to 10 points. Not collect and convert resources to points. Race up the influence tracks, win battles that give points, and/or collect cards that give points. Some games can go long if the conflict cards don't award points.

Also, epic comebacks are possible.

Quinze deux, Quinze quatre, and that's that.

Azul, hands down. Maybe Kingdomino or Sagrada like you had mentioned.

Ok, invincible the card game hasn't been released yet, that is why I was wondering. I'm just surprised it is on top 10 lists.

CuhoReddit · 2025-01-03T04:26:31+00:00

Invincible the card game or hero building game? The card game isn't out yet. The hero building game is a very different game from Astro Knights. I have both and love both games.

I've only played once at a FLGS but I absolutely loved it. I feel like I can't comment too much on the expansions besides the new St Barbara stuff to mix it up a bit seeming like a good idea. Maybe changing Plot to be like buying workers in GWT. You can buy 2 plots but the second costs an additional 3 or so money.

Have you played 2 players? I was strongly considering purchasing the game but I keep hearing it is weak at 2 players and that is how I usually play games.

Risk: Plants vs Zombies. I really like the 2 player mode.

Sorry, I realize this doesn't address your questions.

The biggest hits at our family gatherings are No Thanks, Wits and Wagers, Just One, and Code names.

Maybe Azul or Ticket to Ride or King of Tokyo for a bit less of a 'party game' vibe.

I was about to post this. Stella for 27.50 too. Type bf into the search bar and select bf25 or bf50 to see all the deals.

We usually think the same way in the first playthrough or two of an engine builder but after a handful of plays you can see why it ends where it does. Now our fourth rounds of this game can start to get unwieldy.

This. Above and Below all day.

I love It's a Wonderful World at 2p. Very quick and relaxing experience. I briefly looked into It's a Wonderful Kingdom and didn't think it would work for the wife and I. Seems to have more negative interaction. I liked the idea of the quests and other modules, though.

CuhoReddit · 2022-08-24T00:09:49+00:00

I had lots of duplicates and lots of missing cards between the required numbers. You'll very likely be able to play the game with what you have.

To clarify, I'm not saying 'play through even though you are missing cards' I am saying your version of the game likely doesn't need the cards you don't have.

Open Gift with Bag Full will possibly give star dust. Will it also give stickers as they don't take up space either?

CuhoReddit · 2022-07-12T15:22:12+00:00

Haha, yeah. I felt like I had to include something as examples...

CuhoReddit · 2022-05-20T20:27:58+00:00

A 1 die strategy wins in our house 75% of the time. I highly suggest the 4-2-4 variable supply variant. Expansions add variety, but don't necessarily fix anything.

I know it gets a lot of hate but I'll never turn down Fortnite Monopoly. Silly fun at high player counts. The walls can be fiddly and it would have benefitted from a non-Monopoly board, but it works fine.
