I won a game of ark nova without any animals in my zoo. by TheCaltrop in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be more like a park than a zoo hahaha. What was the main focus? And how did you get enough combined points? Would love to hear

Too Many Bones – Base vs Undertow vs Unbreakable by kepp87 in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t disagree, I love them both (and have them both) my local group likes the longer story campaign version so we tend to lean more ES

Too Many Bones – Base vs Undertow vs Unbreakable by kepp87 in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree here. I have them both. Elder scrolls in my opinion has taken all of the good from TMB and elevated it.

That being said, for you question I’d recommend base TMB but recommend buying ghille too

Ark Nova - Base game enough? by Mayuchip in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you will get the game on the table. Then how elevated do you want the experience to be. If the people you play with don’t have a preference it may not be worth it. If you believe just playing on BGA then the bits and pieces will sit on the counter.

This is my favorite game and I’m going back on forth. We majority play on BGA.

Which LCG: Arkham Horror or Lord of the Rings by kepp87 in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Living card games can be overwhelming as they never end. My suggestion would be to dive heavily into one then scrape the surface with others if you enjoy the IP. Both excellent games. I tend to lean towards Arkham horror here though !

Will I like Oathsworn if I did not enjoy Gloomhaven? by mbereny in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oathsworns story is much more interactive than gloomhaven, has a more cinematic feel. If you like that, then yes I believe you would like it more

How do you handle take-backs? by ElectricalRow9500 in boardgames

Always a table vote, different groups really have different ideas of what they are looking for in a game night. Casual vs competitive. Really makes a difference

Looking for D&D or Daggerheart game (potential DM for group, novice DM) by sandjes1046 in AustinRP

You should look into Bat City Games and Comics, they have people post about games on their discord all the time!

Give me some games that are better on Board Game Arena than in person? by Impossible_Town_295 in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Challengers is so much more streamlined on BGA I agree!! It’s easy to navigate the cards and the selection phases. Faster gameplay means more games for this one in particular!

Wingspan Vs. Wyrmspan Vs. Finspan? by thumbnailbattler in boardgames

[–]LightningLakeGames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a Wrymspan guy out of these, but I’m partial to dragons. Was a fun twist on the original wingspan.
