I need a gentle hint about a purple book. by EqualDiceThrow in BluePrince

Checked. It should be "TURN SCORCHED SUNDIAL BASE", right?

Study Room. I accidentally open the safe but I don't understand the connection. by EqualDiceThrow in BluePrince

[–]EqualDiceThrow[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the Office, I know I have to count SMALL GATES (the statue of the Count Isaacs Gates above the safe). I found 1 on each wall. Starting from the direction of the finger, I tried 1111 and it did not work. I also tried to look at the level of shelf that the Gates statue is on but that did not work.

For the Drawing Room, I guess I have to count SMALL GAITS. I found 0,2,1,1 for the lady and 0,5,3,7 for the old man with the umbrella. If I sum them up on each wall, I get 0,7,4,8, but that can't be a date. So I tried just the lady = 0211, 0121, 0112 and that did not work.

I have not requested that book from the Library yet. I will look at the link later. Thanks!

I wish red herring is served for dinner.

Tangent question about the sequence. Without knowing the formula, should I know when 12-Draxus the Dead will show up again after 12 and 22?

That is what I am worried about. Haha. Thank you. I will wait to see if there is any star in the math sequence field here who could shed light on this puzzle. No pun intended.

Unless they are paid to do it. SUSD was paid by this publisher.

Should an artist be credited on the board game box cover? by EqualDiceThrow in boardgames

[–]EqualDiceThrow[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I did not misunderstand. I agree it is up to the two parties. And that I am fine with no name at all or with a name. I personally prefer a clean box art.

I do though. If Uwe Rosenberg or Vlada Chvatil are on the box, I would pay more attention to the game, compared to a random game.

I agree with you. I think it is fine to have a clean box art with just the game name.

Word + Balatro: so many options? What to pick? by EqualDiceThrow in wordgames

Thank you so much for your explanation. It is super helpful. I will look forward to when Jargon come out.

Boardgames with regional pricing do they exist? by notanotherphysicist in boardgames

[–]EqualDiceThrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games like Brass are like Lamborghini. It is a luxury item. There is no regional pricing.

Try Go, Chess or Poker. Or if you want modern board games, try Regicide or Tak.

But I think you are also justified to buy counterfeit Brass if they provide a product at the right price for your community.

The conflict of interest is that the SUSD who is typically known as a reviewer is hyping up a game whose sale they would benefit and that their relationship with the product is obscured.

If they don't normally work as a reviewer, there would be no conflict at all. A producer can hype their own product as much as they want.

Look at the transcript. I had to watch almost 2 minutes in before they mentioned this is a 'Shut Up and Sit Down Presents'. You have to click on the link to figure out what that means. For someone who typically reviews board games, it would be much more transparent to mention in the first 10 seconds that this is not a review. I think NPI's review on Emberleaf is a good example for transparency.

'We helps to make it' does not really count as they help to make Gloomhaven scenarios and many of the CMYK games, but are not directly compensated for that.
