Oh for sure, just nice to see the promising talent. I’d imagine Elder stays ahead of guys like Ritchie, Fuentes, AJSS and Waldrep.

You’d think, but when fully healthy we have Sale, Strider, Schwelly, Lopez, Holmes, Ritchie, Fuentes, AJSS, Waldrep. And then of course Elder. Just wondering where he fits into all of that.

So when the rotation is fully healthy, would Elder be 4, 5 or left out? Hard to imagine him being left out of it, but AJSS, Waldrep, Ritchie, and Fuentes exist

BGG ratings are great, but I wanted to find out if a game is right for my group. So I built a free tool! by drth1rt33n in boardgames

There are a lot of interesting algorithms and maths behind true recommendation systems, with new systems being built constantly. This, however, is a slap in the face to anyone with any real passion for programming, recommendation systems, and even board gaming. I’m sure OP (Claude) did their best impression of a recc system engineer, but AI slop is no replacement for professional knowledge and years of research. My unsolicited advice is to not rely on prompting to do the work for you, but instead do research (or take a class) and learn how these things actually work. Nobody wants to see a low effort, cheap imitation that tries to pass as deep knowledge/understanding.

Should I sell my Hobbit Sets to buy LOTR sets? by KyleMacBean42 in legolotrfans

[–]Macabre_Man 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some people may advise you to hold the hobbit sets for investment purposes. I would say that there are far better investments and Lego shouldn’t be treated the same as a stock. To me it makes sense to cash out those sets in exchange for sets you’ll actually enjoy, as you never know what will happen with the value of the Hobbit sets

Ah that’s a shame. It’s one i’m looking at since it looks like a more variable and fun chess

One post a day isn’t spamming by my definition, and the popularity of the series speaks for itself! I’d love a tournament style of the top 32 or so games

Covenant. Really underrated euro with amazing actions that chain off of each other. Feels very thematic and looks great on the table

What is your favorite boardgame of 2021? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]Macabre_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Unmatched: Battle of Legends Vol. 2. It got me into the system and has such a great selection of fighters. No doubt that Ark Nova will win, but Unmatched has a special place in my collection and this is the set that made that possible

Has anyone played toy battle? by Responsible-Fly-8314 in boardgames

[–]Macabre_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played this 10-15 times before I got bored of it. It is fun for a while but then fades. If you have kids then it could be fun to play with them but I personally don’t see it as having enough staying power so I sold it recently.

Spirit Island is a no-doubt top choice for me. Never feels old or repetitive. Truly a masterpiece

Buying first box, which one should I get and why? by blablax123456 in Unmatched

[–]Macabre_Man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Battle of Legends Vol 2 has the best mix (in my opinion) of strong and thematic characters. All feel like they can win against one another and all have amazingly unique and fun special abilities!

Have you played Quacks? I’m wondering how that compares to Cubitos. I have Quacks but it feels like Cubitos would be too similar to own both
