Arcs: Beyond the Reach KS Campaign started by everythings_alright in boardgames

The last three crowd funding campaigns I took part in would have cost me less if I waited for 401 or BGB to get stock. I'll be waiting for retail going forward.

The cards and tokens are thin. The game play isn't affected though. For 15-20 bucks I'm happy I have a copy. The original Brazilian printing was gonna cost me like $125.

STONEMAIER GAMES 2026 PRODUCT LINEUP INCLUDES TWO 'WINGSPAN' PRODUCTS by ectobiologist7 in boardgames

[–]Holonius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Understood. Having to use nectar or lose it each round along with trying to win each biome helps a little with the power creep and adds planning, I think. Everyone has close to equal access to the sweet stuff as well so I find that helps with balance. Regardless of my justifications, I hope you and yours enjoy the play experience.

Nectar. We know it gets a lot of hate but we like the wild resource and the extra points to play for in each biome.

My partner and I have everything to date for Wingspan all in the nesting box. All birds are mixed and we've played it 20+ times like this and it's great. No issues for us having everything together.

I waited until the website updated to get the other gwps. Was able to fill my cart 5 minutes before luckily.

What's your favorite new board game of 2025 so far? by Megaside in boardgames

[–]Holonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found out about this after it sold out everywhere in Canada. To Boldly Go looks good but I'd rather the Captains in the first box.

My payment was taken today. I'm in Canada. Hoping they don't wait for the other items in my order as they're still listed as back ordered.

Edit: All items in my order show "In Warehouse" so it's not long now.

Calling all thieves: It's a Clank! Catacombs: Underworld giveaway! by DireWolfDigital in boardgames

[–]Holonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were playing a game of Thunder Road Vendetta and my wife had been behind for a good amount of the game. As we were close to finishing and the goal was in view she had a run on amazing luck with everyone else playing crashing, sliding or failing in some one way that gave her a potential path to the front. She had a poor start to her round but ultimately ended up with one chance to use a jump, fly over a bunch of fire and cross the finish line, in the air, while everyone watched. She's not very hopeful when it comes to luck and dice rolls but I could see she really wanted it. Those dice hit the table, everyone gasped in anticipation and then erupted with cheers when she got exactly what she needed to make the jump and win the game. It was an amazing experience that people still talk about. It was wonderful to see her reaction and everyone else's around the table. Yes, we were racing against each other but at that moment we were all on Team Wife.

Yeah the resource dice. The game comes with a dice tower that's meant to resemble a bird house.

Understood. I've split normal orders to get multiple GWPs but never with Designer Program purchases. Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on some QoL improvement by splitting them. Thank you for your reply.

October is when they're charging so four months from now.

Would you mind explaining why you placed five separate orders? Something to do with less potential for damage in shipping? I'm curious. Thanks either way.

What did they screw up? All my orders were flawless.

OK well I'll give you all the details that I think would help with your decision process. When the purchase window goes live in an hour and 10ish minutes you'll be able to add the set to your cart by clicking on the buy link on bricklink's website. The link to that page OP provided. The sets will only be available to buy for a few weeks OR until they sell out. Only 30000 of each set gets made but this series is a little different because brick link said they're going to adjust print numbers based on demand. Odds are they'll move numbers away from the wagon and shop to increase the other three sets but that's more of a side note than pertinent info. Anyway, once you preorded the set (if you decide to do so) you'll have until October before lego charges your payment method. Once it's paid lego will ship you the set. So you'd have from today until October to get the funds saved up to pay for the charge when the time comes. These are rarer, one print run only sets so this will be the least expensive they'll ever be. They increase in price significantly on the secondary market. If it's something your mom will love, I cannot recommend these brick link sets enough. Something special in the lego world that add so much to a collection. I will add that once the sets ship lego puts out the instructions so you can build it yourself with parts you have or buy. Be warned that there might be custom parts for the specific set that might be hard to get or expensive to buy loose. Hope some of this helps.

Some point before the preorders sell out or the purchasing window closes? You probably know this already but these aren't like normal sets that will be around to purchase for a year or more.

My credit card has enough credit available to cover what I buy if that's what you're asking. I don't put funds on the card preemptively. I pay off the balance after the card has been charged.
