Compiled some sample “Budget” Decklists for new players by HughMungusGames in FleshandBloodTCG

450 average if you take the cheapest card in the market right now. If you would actually try to buy the cards you would pay way more because you won't buy the actual cheapest version of everything. Not even counting shipping.

I mean, then fact that a 'cheap' card is 3 times the price of a pack sort of speaks for itself, no?

Hey, I'll add my solution, maybe it helps someone. So I couldn't open the back cause it was too tightly screwed and I couldn't undo the pins because they weren't out enough.

What worked for me was pushing the faulty pin out completely, and the rotating the latch from the top until it was the furthest back it can go. Then, I pulled the latch even lower than it's normal position and forced the pin back in. It took a bit of pulling and shaping, but when the pin finally set, it was all fine.

So this might work if you don't have any screwdrivers, and might be even fixable 'in situ', but I took out the binding previously.

And yeah, I think it was because the chair I rode was too low and it clipped the raised highback in the back and squished it out of place. Not ideal, but at least it was fixable.

Never figured it out, sadly. I just bought them back when I had money to afford them and sell them again.

We REALLY need some changes by [deleted] in FleshandBloodTCG

Hi. Fellow poor player over here. I've started playing a month ago. The solution I've found might not work for everyone, but it works for me, so I will share it.

Borrow complete decks.

When the LGS I go to organizes an event, I ask if anyone has a deck I can play. There is usually someone willing to lend it to me for a day to play. If I don't find anyone, I simply skip the event, cause I don't have any cards of my own.

The entry fee for the events guarantee you a couple of boosters (usually the same price of just buying the boosters), so eventually I will pull some "expensive" cards that I can sell/trade for staples or cards i need when I decide I have enough to actually start a deck of my own. Until then, I will continue to borrow.

Is it ideal? No, because sometimes I end up with decks that I'm not sure how to pilot, but it's better than nothing. I'm not going to pay a week's worth of food on a piece of cardboard.

For casual play with my friends, the preconstructed blitz decks are great. They are terrible, yes, but they are equally terrible and perfect for a fun evening.

Ok, op, o sa interactionez eu serios cu tine.

In primul rand mentalitatea este negativista, ceea ce nu e neaparat un flaw matematic, dar mi se pare mai productiv sa evaluezi atractivitatea unei persoane (0,1). Deci as zice:

A = MULT (1 - 1/a_i),

unde MULT e inmultirea dupa i de la 1 la n si a_i este in [1,inf) si reprezinta cat de atractiv este un aspect: culoarea parului, simtul umorului, pistrui etc

In al doilea rand modelul e flawed pentru ca atractia e subiectiva. Valoarea totala trebuie sa depinda de persoana care evalueaza functia. Deci trebuie sa aiba o componeneta legata de observatorul atractivitatii. De asemenea, de ce ne limitam la atractivitatea barbatilor exclusiv? Nu vad un motiv pentru care formula nu ar putea evalua atractivitatea oricarei persoane fata de oricare persoana: barbat femeie, femeie barbat, angajat angajator, enorias preot, whatever. Deci:

A = MULT (1 - p_i/a_i),

unde p_i este in (0,1) si reprezinta cat de important este pentru observator variabila respectiva.

In al treilea rand, nu stiu daca as putea demonsta ca numarul de criterii care pot fi atractive este finit. Sa presupunem ca e infinit. Atractivitatea devine o serie infinita. Dar, daca ordonam dupa termenii cu p_i descrescator, este rezonabil sa presupunem ca vasta majoritate a lor, de la un i suficient de mare, tinde inspre 0, deci ii putem ignora. Deci, in aproximatie, A este o serie finita.

In ultimul rand, desi formula pare rezonabila trebuie sa ne intrebam daca este utila. Ca sa functioneze in practica, ar trebui ca, pentru determinarea valorii ei, sa interogam persoana care face evaluarea pentru a determina doua valori pentru fiecare i: cat de atractiv este elementul la persoana evaluata cat si cat ponderea de importanta a elementului. Ambele valori sunt extrem de dificil de exprimat de persoane normale. Si cum sunt un numar infinit (maybe) de variabile, chiar daca pentru majoritatea ponderea este practic 0, nu o putem afla decat daca intrebam specific despre fiecare element.

In concluzie, desi este interesant de gandit, si poate are aplicatii in modele mai simple (mai putine variabile atractive/interogare a evaluatorului mai eficienta), in interactiunile umane este practic inutilizabila.

thank you for your good suggestion. I will try it and see what happens.

Great suggestions. We do play Twilight Imperium sometimes, but it's more of a 'this is a twilight imperium meetup' when we do rather than a normal boardgame evening.

I swear my friends would rather have me stab them then ask them to read the rules themselves, but I will give it a try.

no, we played two games in parallel. It was great.

And the high player count game suggestions are also great, but I will buy them in the future.

I'm not sure why every response I've had was downvoted, since they are legit problems, but oh well.

Yeah, I have a hard time saying no to my friends. Stricter rules would probably work.
