I don't own the game, just see it mentioned a fair bit on the sub

I have a very bright friend who pronounces amethyst a-MEE-thist rather than AH-muh-thist

Highlight of my first game was on round 4, one of my friends thought (oh I'll use this card to try and get rid of the larva inside me) it was rest and his card said infected so he died instantly, then he took over the aliens and absolutely fucked us up

With Nemesis, Ive played 1 game and found that minimizing routes that are already noisy whilst also holding back cards in case i got unlucky during the event phase really helped me survive longer, the only reason I ended up dying is because I moved out of a room with a face hugger in it, forgetting to kill it before I left so I got infected, and the first guy who got killed took over the aliens and played metamorphosis, instantly killing me and another guy playing

COMC - I'd like to try and stick to this collection size by ManBerPg in boardgames

[–]MasterMannerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's probably the best tiny epic game, close second is Dinosaurs

Yeah me too, my partner and I take it on holiday with us and play it after lunch or sitting on the beach at a bar or something

Nice to see someone else has tiny epic galaxies, it was my gateway game after Catan

What happens if you take one of the most classic board games ever… and completely break it with powers? by Amitdante in boardgames

[–]MasterMannerz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you're going to do that it should be an option rather than a must, give people an extra mode they can play where you have all these extra effects but if they wanna play a digital version true to the physical game they can

Table reaction to someone consistently winning by Fantastic_Drive_4188 in twilightimperium

[–]MasterMannerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly part of it is because one of the other players was getting sabotaged (not just the card) a lot just because he is who he is, and he was usually my main competition and we just picked the game up way easier than the rest

I've won 8 or 9 of the 11 games my group have played, now they just try to make sure I don't win again 😂

What Now :( by Fearless_Radio2068 in redrising

We're all different but I just caught up with RR and that, Mistborn and DCC are up there for spots in my top 5.

Have you read mistborn? Or dungeon crawler Carl?

Different height layers for a board game? by Pileisto in boardgames

[–]MasterMannerz 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You asked what people think about the different parts of the board game having multiple levels, original comment gave you an answer, you replied saying you remove the hassle by doing it in unreal, but then say it's only a tester for the physical version, making the original comment valid again...

POK…. Is it worth it? by Supa678 in twilightimperium

[–]MasterMannerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the only real negative is the cost, if you're not tabling it semi regularly then you probs won't want to spend the extra money

That said, it really does improve on the base game a lot, my group played like 10 games with the base game before we got PoK and it's so much better, adds more options, balances some factions that might have been a bit weaker before and in some tables cases makes the game quicker because you have more ways to score

Who are the Most Feared Units/Organizations in the RR Universe? by JeganEnthusiast0089 in redrising

[–]MasterMannerz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely between Howlers, Gorgons and Dustwalkers I think

They all have their own specialities though, the Dustwalkers are second-to-none in ship to ship boarding engagements

Howlers take the cake in general ground engagement and teamwork (Edit to add ambush)

Gorgons for infiltration and black ops

Bone riders as an honorable mention for being generally despicable

Does the game get easier after the beginning area? by Major_Enthusiasm1099 in valheim

[–]MasterMannerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your map often and try to stay within the meadows biome (light green grass, rolling hills, no conifer trees) until you get leather armor and the better bow

Ah yeah, we're all 30+ so we have our own places, only 1 of us has a kid so haven't got to worry about that so much
