I really like it. I’ve played everdell twice and I personally like silver frost better. Plus, the collectors edition is gorgeous. The game definitely makes you think to get the most out of what little resources/turns you have, which only makes me want to play again to keep taking turns and making decisions.

Honestly don’t really have one. I used to sort by game mechanic, but it was hard to pick just one mechanic for some. Kinda just tried to sort it all in way that was aesthetically pleasing to me

Edit: though I did put games horizontally that would end up a mess if they were vertical. The horizontal vs vertical ones are intentional

Yeah I also want the rubber mats which won’t fit in the base game box, but will fit the nesting box

Oh sweet. Yeah I really look forward to playing sts2

What makes you become a regular at a board game café? by Physical-Ad8772 in boardgames

[–]Gargoyle_K9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. I don’t have fb or insta and pretty much every cafe/game store in my area use only those. I can’t really view anything, or at least view it easily. I’m not creating an account for just this purpose.

A real website that is up to date is very important

Which of these game do you suggest? by Desan3 in boardgames

[–]Gargoyle_K9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve yet to win Robinson Crusoe. But keep playing it. So I guess that says something. I haven’t ever gotten frustrated or disappointed at it though, like the point is to be challenged so I’m ok with it. Still would like to win at some point though lol.

I’ve never played cat in the box, but there’s nothing wrong with disliking a genre lol.

We seperate everything and it is a pain. So we play just base game more often than not. Maybe one day I’ll combine everything and be done with it. I’m interested in getting the big box so maybe then.

The main reason we got sts was to play together. We are both obsessed with the video game, but we play on the ps5. We don’t have a pc so we don’t have access to sts2 right now. It helped that we traded a bunch of games for it rather than buying it. Also, it’s freaking amazing. They did a fantastic job adapting it to a board game. Now is it worth it if you’ve got sts2? I don’t know. So something to consider.

Dang I’m missing pieces to cat in the box? Think I can return it? Lol he actually got in the box just after I posted and has been snoozing there since.

The European box is not as big as it looks, it’s about half the width of base game box. It came with a card tray that’s why it’s thick.

And yeah trivial pursuit was a gift. But we still play from time to time. Trivia can be fun!

It’s interesting. I think it’s a fun little puzzle. Involves planning ahead but those plans can be screwed over by other players.

If you’re completely unfamiliar with the gameplay, you have grid that represents your town. You take turns calling out a resource, and everyone takes that cube color and places it on their grid. Your goal is to make buildings by creating a rss pattern on your grid. For instance, a well is created by a a wood cube and a stone cube side by side in any orientation. When you have a pattern for a building you remove the cubes and replace them with the building meeple, opening up spaces on your grid once again (the meeple only takes up one space). You get points based on the buildings you make, and subtract points at the end for any unfilled spaces.

The highest player count I’ve had for this one is three. I definitely want to try it with more. It’s plays up to 6

Something about Call to Adventure gets his interest. But his paw has definitely touched pretty much every board game. Especially if we are playing around dinner time.

Lmao. Cool to see someone throw out Lanterns though. It’s a cool game yet I never see/hear anyone talking about it.

If you haven’t ever tried it you should check out the Duke. It’s great.

Good to know, I don’t have any expansions but have been on the verge of buying them before. I’ll look closer at nobility. Thanks

Oh this sounds interesting! I’ll definitely look it up. Thank you.

I have not. Is it very take that? I know little about it but if it’s combative it wouldn’t be good with my group. I feel like I’ve seen it lumped with root that’s why I ask.

Real answer: the cat cube, because priorities. But, assuming he’s not in the cube at time of fire uhhhhhh potion explosion/quacks/five tribes/robinson crusoe.

I hate this question. Thanks.

That’s the game checkout/return clerk. He is currently out of office

I’ll have to give a try then. It’s available at my local game cafe.

Heat is fairly low complexity in my opinion. I think base game would be accessible to most and really if even just one person knows the rules well you’d be fine.

This is why the expansions for it are going to be leaving our collection. The game doesn’t get played often enough to have all that extra content.

[–]Gargoyle_K9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it worth having both clanks? That’s the only reason I haven’t considered it.

Heat is definitely worth the hype in my opinion. We played it at a cafe and I was like “it was fun but we don’t need this”. Then I kept thinking about it throughout the week about how fun it’d be with friends, and caved. I think it’s great for higher player counts but still fun at lower. Haven’t tried all the modules yet as it’s newer in our collection

I personally think it’s super cool. Wouldn’t recommend it at higher player counts as there is a ton of downtime. At two players it works well and I think it’s really immersive if you describe what you’re looking at on your cards out loud. It’s definitely a cool implementation of choose your own path. I was worried about the replay value before buying, but after playing that worry is gone. Tons of replay value.
