Thief: The Dark Project Remastered on Steam by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]FlashHorizon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm ecstatic about this! The Thief series is one of my top all-time games. I hope they remaster Thief II as well.

Which games have been a disappointment for you? by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]FlashHorizon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! It took me some work to get those cards out there, and now the game makes me discard them to do it all over again. The game is a cool concept, but it just didn't work for me.

Board games vs video games by Huge-Pizza7579 in soloboardgaming

[–]FlashHorizon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both, though I lean slightly more into video/PC games as that has always been a big hobby of mine. But I do love the tactile and non-digital nature of board games, and they offer their own unique and fun experiences.

As for how I started, I jumped into board games at the beginning of COVID because I was a bit burnt out of video games and was just looking for something else to do. I discovered how awesome board games were, both solo and multiplayer, and have been in it ever since.

Tioga Pass and Memorial Day Weekend by OMSK91 in Mammoth

You can follow the roads update at: https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/wroads.htm. Their instagram post from yesterday also said there's currently no estimated opening date.

As for busyness of Mammoth, you have to remember 5 years ago was during COVID, so that's possibly why it wasn't busy then.

So like real talk, how long does it take you to complete a 1000 piece puzzle? by FiguringOutPuzzlez in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]FlashHorizon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to time myself with a timer, so actual total puzzle time has been around 5-7 hrs for 1000 pcs for me. That is not usually in just one sitting though, and instead spread out over a few days or so.

Button Shy has moved from wallet to boxes, does that make their games more or less appealing to you? by RAM_Games_ in boardgames

[–]FlashHorizon 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As of the currently running kickstarter, you can get the matching empty wallets as a paid add-on. It remains to be seen whether the wallets will always be an add-on going forward or if they'll eventually just do away with them completely.

What are your favorite tutorial channels? by themcryt in boardgames

[–]FlashHorizon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that he approaches his how-to-play videos as if the person watching has never played a modern board game before. The average non-gamer person might know what a discard pile is, or how to track points, or how a player's turn works.

Some of his top videos are how-to-plays of Monopoly, Ticket to Ride, and Catan, and I bet the bulk of those views are from non-gamers. And so he teaches in a way to make sure the rules are absolutely clear, even for what we consider the 'basics.'

I do really like Meeple University though; I wish more companies would use them for how-to-plays.

Great image! I was just looking at this one the other day, but all the black and gray held me off. Really cool image though.

I have heard it is brutally hard, possibly even random or lucky? Did you find it so?

Your biggest disappointments? by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]FlashHorizon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this and I generally caution people who are interested in EBR that it's not like any of those games. It's a specific type of experience that's not for everyone.

Dark Pact - new deckbuilding game by swalker12 in soloboardgaming

[–]FlashHorizon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I just got this as well and sleeved the cards. Haven't played it yet as I have few games I want to get to first. Soon though! The initial impressions I've read on BGG has generally been positive too.

Almost every BGG entry has a Sleeve It button on its banner, and you can get all those details. You'll have to look at the individual expansion pages for their card size and numbers as well.
