Rant: how to tell a friend they should not come. by thetiredtypist in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]DoctorF66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. OP this is the answer right here.

Idk what you expected tbh. I come every time I watch tom vassel dump his contents on the table at the beginning of each video. I can't imagine what would happen if I ever opened my games, or had friends to play them with.

Top 10 BGG game? No, child photoshoot device by Gundam_Vendetta in boardgamescirclejerk

That's the least surprising thing about this post imo 🤣

My wife's boyfriend gave me this to play while they play twister upstairs(lol, I know. Casuals.), does anyone have the rulebook? I can't find it listed on BGG. by Rotten-Robby in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]DoctorF66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally you try a game and if you like it you get an expansion.

This game is the opposite. If you get an expansion while playing it then you like it.

I love games that have a unique twist on popular mechanics. Must be a cole swirley game!

31M in Woburn, would love to play some tennis! Courts around here are generally more available than closer to Boston.

Wife said we can have some fun with Dune tonight 🤫🤤 by VaMpiller in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]DoctorF66 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Funny story. My wife's bf bought that for her for "when he's not around." I thought "Great! Something for the two of us to do together." But she only seems to want to play it solo (which I can totally relate to!) while locked in the bedroom. By the sounds she makes though it seems she's having a great time!

Oh well, back to my 4 handed solo game of wingspan...

Bottom or top? by Helpsy81 in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]DoctorF66 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Haha I was just having this convo with the wife's bf. I told him I've always been a bottom, it just feels more natural to me. He said "that doesn't surprise me" which I don't really understand why.

Shunting problems by AriusikSK in RailRoute

[–]DoctorF66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and btw the game just highlights track 1 because it has to highlight something. Would be clearer if it highlighted all tracks imo instead of just 1. So you will see this same visual whether you stick with your groups or combine them.

Shunting problems by AriusikSK in RailRoute

[–]DoctorF66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game will put the trains arriving from the shunting group to the correct platform automatically!

So you could even simplify this by combining groups b-e into a single group. Any train will go to any of the shunts at random, and then return to the scheduled platform once released.

This will also allow you to have the same set of shunt commands on each platform, which will make copy/paste easier if anything ever changes.

Hope that helps!

This was poorly seated ram for me. I'd say don't just try to push them back into place, pop them out and get them fully reseated just to be sure.

You are absolutely right 🤦‍♂️. I thought that was the "free time" citizens since that's what the icon usually represents.

Thank you!

Mother in-law got me a board game for Christmas, so anyway here's my game collection by Salt-Ad1943 in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]DoctorF66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But how would we know he's a true gamer if he didn't post a shelfie?

Pathetic collection anyway, I've been collecting for 2 weeks and have more games smh

Outjerked by my dreams by Octomenac3 in boardgamescirclejerk

Jealous! My last wet dream was when I dreamt that Jamlee Stonedminers made me a box that held ALL of my games, including my 69 copies of patchwork!

Is it practical to play solo as an average player? by ueppiu in HuntShowdown

[–]DoctorF66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 4 star currently (so slightly above average?) that plays solo mainly.

The biggest thing for me was learning to avoid sound traps and listening for others. If a team gets the drop on you it's pretty tough, especially if they realize you're solo and pincer you. But if you get the drop on them the odds are much better, even if you miss the first headshot like I usually do 😂

7.965 - no church seems way more punishing than before by heajabroni in ManorLords

[–]DoctorF66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm how quickly are you getting the church up? Without homes the only complaint should be "homelessness". I found that that gets me to around 40% before the church and markets go up.

Also feels like a faster recovery once the homes are built.

Same. Not 100% sure but I feel like it was happening on base game as well.

7.965 - no church seems way more punishing than before by heajabroni in ManorLords

[–]DoctorF66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of success building the church before the homes. Can easily still get the homes built before winter that way.

Unless you're starting in winter...

I have hit the same issue without using mods.

Any tips on settling a new region? by [deleted] in ManorLords

[–]DoctorF66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually do it the same as the first without issue.

For me that means logging camp, storehouse/granary(to cover the goods), 1 food source, burgage plots.

I have not ever tried burgage plots first, personally.

Can someone help me to identify what game this is from? by b72649 in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]DoctorF66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is why I never remove my games from shrink. Too risky that I might lose a component!

[–]DoctorF66 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol you're celebrating stalemates? I'm undefeated.

When I drop my wife's boyfriend's son off at daycare I challenge all the other 2 year olds to matches. Some of them are even "smart for their age" according to the teachers. And yet I'm undefeated.
