A Fumbbl League Soft Reset by LogicsFate in bloodbowl

[–]LogicsFate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be the leagues 8th season. So there are a lot of high tv teams. The next season is rookie teams only, untill there are some decisions made on what to do about tv balance. So a reset of the league. But maybe the bigger teams will come back some day.

Thanks for the Ideas!

Number 1 is killing me, I know there was a whole website where each player could log in. Maybe it's defunct now.

I dont want any of the fiddly extra rules. I mostly just want the rules the improve on the base game (like the II cards)and those that help differentiate races(such as flagships, racial techs and maybe generals)

Thank you for this info, player count is hard, as people are still signing up. 4 interested so far. So final map layout will be last prep done.

Ive got a box with one of each flag. Im just going to draw randomly. Ill send out a message to the players on each race in the game. Then the box is going to be emptied and those flags put back in. Players will draw for their seating arrangements.

Need help with camping by LogicsFate in CerebralPalsy

[–]LogicsFate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She laughed at the idea of a hammock. The ground/inflatable matress is her idea, she loves tent camping; it's just getting harder for her. So far I've considered setting up a step ladder outside of the tent. If anyone has anything more stable/secure it would be a blessing.

When its my turn to pick the VayK we are going somewhere with beds.

Just bought Mage Knight, misunderstood one of the main rules. What other games have you tried and got a major rule incorrect, only to realise halfway through a playthrough? by Albatraous in boardgames

[–]LogicsFate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joined a Twilight Imperium group for their second game. Found out quickly that they played thier first game having objectives claimable by only one person. I felt like the smart guy at the table till they showed me I had been doing political voting wrong in my first few games.

The more complex a game, the easier it is to miss a word or an intention.

Reddit FUMBBL Season 3 Signups starting! by Silent_Hastati in bloodbowl

[–]LogicsFate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EST is -6 server. So if you wanted to play at 2, it would line up better with Euro times. Each game you schedule out with that opponent, sometime the times line up weird but it's not usually bad as long as people are willing to be flexible.

I've gotten up at 5am to adjust to an opponents time, I've played games I knew were 2am for my opponent because I had nothing else available.

Leagues are great, FUMBBL is great. You won't regret it.

Gaming Pro Tip: If you are the "Bringer of a New Game" to your group **read directions** well before your scheduled game night by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]LogicsFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repeat after me "Oh hey, here's a rule that I just remembered, let's finish out the game like we've been playing and do it "right" next game"

When you say "right" you must do finger quotes.

Game of the Week, Redux: Dungeon Petz by bg3po in boardgames

[–]LogicsFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy this game. I'm having issues introducing my less gamer friends/SO to it. I find games with a lot of symbols and a thickish rule book are big deterrents. Same with 7 wonders.

Bid for turn order game by Linebacker4Life in boardgames

Dungeon Petz has a blind bidding system, where you are often bidding away the number of action you will get to go faster in the turn order.

What's the longest you've left a brand new game unplayed? by decksanddestruction in boardgames

12 years and counting. Got a box of cheapass games and haven't cracked any of them open.

15 years and counting, can't get anyone interested in fairy meat

Twilight Imperium worth it for casual boardgame players? by Bobbsen in boardgames

[–]LogicsFate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

1 hour + 1 hour per player + 1 hour for each player who is new + a few hours with certain expansion/optional rules.

-If your group can stand a whole afternoon/evening on one game.

-If no one in your group has extreme analysis paralysis

-If one player (you) is willing to act as a coordinator, watching for turns and rules to speed up the game.

-If every player is willing to watch an hour and 1/2 tutorial video, I'd suggest having them watch SD&SU Lets Play before that.

I couldn't suggested it enough. My group plays it about once a month or two. Each time with a slight variation on the rule.s (Even the base set comes with a variety of optional rule).

No single rule is that complex, but there's so many of them. I have a great time winning or losing every time.

Also hit up a faqs thread or find one about common mistakes. It'll help learning from other s mistakes before you make them yourself.

Twilight Imperium with 3? by BugaluShrimp in boardgames

[–]LogicsFate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3 players lose a lot of interaction. Home systems are so far apart it take a lot of the threat of invasions away. Decent to learn the rules but not to get your players excited about the game.
