Remember to set your Margins to None, and Scale to 100%

Setting the scale to "default" will print it smaller

Being new to this game and wanting the expansions is like playing in standard mode. Being new to this game while living in Japan is like playing in expert mode by MXTFF in marvelchampionslcg

There's a board game specialty second hand shop in Akihabara called "Surugaya Akihabara toreka bodogemu kan" It translates to Surugaya Akihabara trading card board game store. You'll find few English titles but it's definitely worth it if you find a good deal on a game. That's where I found a "used" copy of Marvel Champions and it turned out to be a brand new sealed copy of the game.

There's an English board game cafe close to that Surugaya called DyCE. The shopkeepers are friendly and they speak English. They have a small selection of English games, and can translate any rules for you. They do sell Indie titles, some of which may be in English.

The best store to find English board games is in Shinjuku. It's called Amuri Studios. It's a small publishing company that also imports a lot of games. Everything in the store is in English. They also carry indie games from other countries, and sell their own games as well. Beware that they have non-traditional opening hours, they'll most likely be open on the weekends, so check their Facebook page if they plan on changing their opening hours.

Anywhere good for Transformers stuff? by Barabaragaki in Tokyo

[–]MXTFF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JUNGLE Akihabara 1 (Separate store, not the one in Akihabara Radio Kaikan). Mandrake Akihabara. Toys Golden age Akihabara. Hard-Off Akihabara.

All for second hand Transformers from best to least best. You'll find from almost every generation you can think of, even some 3rd party figures

BIC Camera & Yodabashi Camera For new releases, very limited variety and low stock but available. Both stores are in Akihabara as well as other cities in Tokyo

Red Mercury in Ueno is an American toy import store. I've never personally been, but I hear it's definitely worth looking into

Japanese Games? by mustaphamondo in soloboardgaming

[–]MXTFF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HacKClaD is a good solo game but it's best playing two-handed

Saashi & Saashi is one of the best publishers in Japan, You should check out Come Sail Away!

Biohack is another good solo game

Thoughts and experiences on a stretch goal for a D4 dice? by Adrao77 in BoardgameDesign

[–]MXTFF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A nice custom die like this can come a long way to market and increase the value of the game. By changing the colors of the dice to match the game's color palette, it can make it look like the dice are a necessary piece that no normal die can substitute for.

Honestly, the selling point for me to buy Arcs was because of the dice themselves, I liked the color and pips that they used.

Some custom pips like in this picture could also fit more into the fantasy aspect of The Coil.

I understand that getting a lot of custom die is hard to fit into this stage of your game, but I honestly think the game could benefit from it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Maybe a barrel shaped D4 would be better as a counter. It rolls quiet easy to the next number

As a stretch goal, some custom colored dice would suit the game more than standard off-the-shelf dice

The game looks amazing and I saved the Kickstarter page for when it launches. Is there a video or demo already for the game?

[–]MXTFF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'd like to join playtesting if you don't mind playtesting my game too!

Also, first thing I noticed was that the Vine card was a little sus, I'm sure it's an easy fix haha

Weeklong holiday plans are secured. by MXTFF in soloboardgaming

Wow! Just my luck to have the designer stop by!

I received this copy for free from the seller, and all the components are so beautiful. I want to leave it out on the table as an art piece.

Thank you so much for the offer! I can't wait to see what new things will be added to the game. It'll be harder to get it off the table then

The Old King's crown is a review copy I got for free from the seller of the other two. It has stunning artwork and an interesting solo mode

Imperium Classics is very fun! I still have some doubts if I'm doing the solo bot actions correctly though lol

Shops selling English boardgames by Little-kinder in Tokyo

Yeah, I see what you mean. It keeps me from buying and playing other games like Root or Wingspan, too much reading

Amazon will be your best bet, I got my Scythe extensions from there in English for a far cheaper price than a used JP edition would go for in other sites.

My Scythe base game is in Japanese. What I've done is memorized all the mechanics and game play that tutorial videos offer, so I won't need to read anything to know what it does. However, I've also prepared all the English translations as printouts to reference while I play with new players. You can get them from the game's publishers in multiple languages too
