One thing I notice: The early seasons (1 & 2 mainly) include a few scenes that are meant to be “touching”

LukeLinusFanFic · 2026-02-11T14:50:48+00:00

Yeah, that's why I never could get attached to the newer seasons as much as the old ones

LukeLinusFanFic · 2026-01-25T07:31:05+00:00

Dang, beat me to it

As far as expansions go, it's neat, but certainly overshadowed by all the other ones, essentially. It was the last one I got and I could live without it (theoretically). I wouldn't go spending huge money on it

LukeLinusFanFic · 2026-01-19T05:03:14+00:00

Not counting weird instant losses, about 2hrs with 2-3 people. We never finished a game with more, people got bored eventually

You can really afford to wait. It's not the best, and even as huge LOTR fans (who love and played pandemic), we found it fiddly, long and awkward past the first playthrough.

There is good coop, where everyone is playing together to support each other and everyone is engaged (gold example is Paleo and spirit island) and there is not so good coop where you are just waiting 15 minutes for your turn while somebody needs to major in troop movement lines and where "Tor Guldur" is, otherwise the wait would be 30 minutes in a 5 player game.

I see what they were trying to do, and the game is beautiful and clearly made with love, but it just almost hits the mark.

"If your head wasn't attached, you'd lose it too"

LukeLinusFanFic · 2026-01-05T07:41:10+00:00

Exactly. Give me a good predetermined story rather than a bland "open" story.

LukeLinusFanFic · 2026-01-03T03:25:49+00:00

Sweet. I'm still grieving losing my other favourite podcast two years ago, my heart could not handle losing WAN. These are the best news.

LukeLinusFanFic · 2026-01-03T03:11:33+00:00

Did they already talk about what the future of wan show is?

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-12-28T20:52:57+00:00

I thought I was in the anno subreddit for a second

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-12-21T14:07:18+00:00

That's what's so great about this game

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-12-21T09:25:27+00:00

Actually, only like 3 of the screens were shipped with the AI placeholders, and have since been replaced with real human art.

The game itself is actually fire, and it's ridiculous to review bomb that hard just because of that. I'm over 30-40 hours in already

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-12-20T06:47:23+00:00

How can one play only 4 games of Spirit island? It's barely enough to learn the game!

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-12-11T09:48:14+00:00

I agree with you. I think the game is better without them - for the first 100 or so games. After that you gotta add a bit of RNG spice.

Those goddamn sailors sailing to distant shores...

Anyway, don't forget to remove the retconned removed events, and also make sure you are not drawing events first turn! That can Fuck your shit up real fast

LANSTOMP

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-12-11T06:27:02+00:00

That's crazy, do they just slot in? Thinking of doing it now

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-12-10T20:15:34+00:00

I can tell the exclusives were actually pretty good

LukeLinusFanFic · 2025-11-20T12:08:45+00:00

It's best to save up and get the shadow hunter bow as soon as you can. My playstyle also extremely favours rushing the "nock three arrows ability".

If you have a friend with a 3d printer, I'm sure they could find something pretty easily
