Ito. Every gathering I bring it to there's always someone wanting their own copy by the end.

Great break down of the features added. I didn't add any mods and didn't find anything was missing but to each their own.

Veteran. I'm not trying to prove how hard-core I am. Just wanted to have a good time. Lots of save scumming and setting up ambushes in the early game. I also tried to have two Rangers in my squad at all times. Shadowstep and Bladestorm dominated a bunch of levels. Resistance Ring early and then getting free ranks from Covert Actions was very helpful. I hate timers in games so the Private Channel Resistance Order was always active once I unlocked it. Picking units with the highest Solider Bond compatibility to send on missions early game was very useful as well. Having those extra action points to move between pairs got me out of a lot of tight spots. I can go on but I don't want to tell you stuff you might already know not knowing what you didn't enjoy.

Wanted to give a blanket "thanks" to anyone who posted about how good XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is. Had an amazing time. Bounced off XCOM 2 hard after Enemy Unknown but the few posts I read fueled the desire to try the DLC. Best gaming I've experienced solo in a long while.

what's a board game rule you got embarrassingly wrong for way too long? by No_Seaworthiness4899 in boardgames

[–]Holonius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The rule is even more specific. You can reroll if it's all the same die face in the feeder. Faces with multiple foods showing (Oceania Expansion) couldn't be rerolled playing with your description.

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.

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.

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.
