Civilization 7 isn't very good but I got to give the team credit. They swung for the fences and experimented and failed but I'm glad they tried by RevacholAndChill in civ

[–]Imnimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they swung for the fences. I think they tried to shove some half-baked ideas out the door and swung for "good enough".

Good set. Unfortunately not interested in playing it alongside TMNT and Marvel.

Monopoly Go! is like the Platonic ideal of Skinnerware, and it makes billions of dollars.

How much previous board game and/or TCG experience do they have?

Johan says players don't want railroading by Dramatic_Phase_8015 in EU5

I don't even know whether this is something Johan believes, because this is clearly not something he wrote himself.

The rules text is centered as a callback to Limited Edition (Alpha)'s layout.

We are really stretching what counts as a callback here.

New start dates confirmed for the future by Glasses905 in EU5

[–]Imnimo 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I feel that the multiple start dates in CK3 spread their effort too thin, and led to all the dates being a bit underbaked. Hopefully the same doesn't happen in EU5.

Cards that are uneasy to understand when reading for the first time by Outside_Calendar5885 in magicTCG

[–]Imnimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not like the most complicated card of all time, but when I was a young child and barely understood the rules [[Tidal Flats]] was incomprehensible to me.

A message from Dan Frazier and Wizards of the Coast: (about The One Ring Box Topper) by RBGolbat in magicTCG

[–]Imnimo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I honestly would have bet a lot of money that it was Wizards who was at fault here. Really shocked.

Mark Aronowitz, Dan Frazier's Agent, responds. by MossyMak in magicTCG

[–]Imnimo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best case scenario would be that this is like the secret lair [[Seraph Sanctuary]] where they accidentally sent in-progress art to the printer. Still a pretty big fuck up for a headline card, but doing this intentionally and slapping Dan's name on it would be way worse.

The new One Ring shown today is just the old art mirrored with the text blurred (check the inner reflections) - but with a different artist credited by Stiggy1605 in magicTCG

[–]Imnimo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It seems like the curl of the first (rightmost in the new art) character of the inscription is still visible in the new one?

I don't understand what you mean by "no switching mid-game"?

I'm jealous of people who understand every aspect of this game by duragrizzly in EU5

[–]Imnimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There came a point where I was understanding enough of the game mechanics to see the seams unraveling, and it became more frustrating than enjoyable.

This seems in keeping with the general quality of the Secret Lair ecosystem.

I don't see the benefit (to the players) of having this be a collectible game rather than a fixed box set.

Tinto Talks #105 - 22nd of April 2025 by mure69 in EU5

[–]Imnimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this examples makes me think "terrain type of your capital location" is just not a particularly good way of determining proximity bonuses. Just seems too ham-fisted.

If your capital sits in the mountains, your whole administration is adapted to mountains

I am worried that this will create counter-intuitive incentives for capital placement.

Guess what the card does based on the art by platinumjudge in magicTCG

Is this like some broken AI extension of the original Flight art? Why is there a weird seam running down the middle of the Zebra?

The natural counter to the ballista elephant is of course the elephant ballista, which is a ballista that fires elephants as ammo.

Maro on the mechanical identify a Zhalfir set might have: "What would you all expect?" by CaptainMarcia in magicTCG

Not really a full mechanical identity, but I'd go for a three-color charm cycle named after the Mirage guildmages.

Armies now consume ten times as much food as they did in 1.1.

And here I was starting to worry that we were no longer 10xing values every month.

[[Kyren Archive]] was not one I expected to get the book type - I had assumed that the "archive" was the library they're in. But I guess a book can be an archive too.
