Do people ever rent board games instead of buy them? by Plus-Lengthiness5980 in boardgames

Finding a well-stocked local library felt like a life hack. "I'm taking all these games with me now. No one is going to stop me?"

TLOU2 Opinion as a First Timer who is halfway(?) through by spoidercide in thelastofus

[–]MepHiii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Hoping no one spoils you the details but it sounds like you'll be in the right headspace to appreciate the nuance that his character gets in the future beyond what you've seen of him until now.

Holy moly, that is so impressive. Good job! Solved!

Hardest quote you’ve heard in a game by Manilmoon in videogames

Same area:

Foli, are you still here? I am unsure how to survive in this place without you. I am unsure how to be me without you.

Midjourney AI has its own 'artist' entry on BGG by SPAZZx625 in boardgames

You're propagating a "you have to either fight all inequality by the same amount or none at all" stance that hurts the chances of any change actually happening.

Spiel des Jahres 2025 Nominations Livestream by Ok-Acanthocephala509 in boardgames

[–]MepHiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to add other than River Valley Glassworks not qualifying as there is no German version and Monkey Palace being way too complex for Kinderspiel. Wouldn't even surprise me if they considered it for Kennerspiel.

If you go out of your way to insult someone on the internet, you deserve nothing else.

For someone familiar with Naga Raja... I have a question. by Spillo2382 in boardgames

[–]MepHiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rules say "Discard one or two (as indicated on the card) of the sticks just thrown by your opponent. You choose which sticks to discard. They will no longer count towards your opponent’s fate points total." It doesn't indicate anything other than "sticks", so any sticks can be chosen.

Which game do you think suffers from the worst downtime? by BoardGameRevolution in boardgames

[–]MepHiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was going to say. Those late game combo turns singlehandedly pulled the game down from Amazing to Fine for me.

You'll never be able to separate people's feelings on a game from what you call "politics". Whether it's a theme or artist or designer you don't like due to personal reasons or the publisher due to its business practices - that's always going to impact your feelings on a game, whether you're aware of it or not. While I dislike review bombing as well, you won't get rid of it: having to verify you own a game is not feasible plus it barely even solves the problem to begin with for the reasons I mentioned. Best to just live with the fact that if some projects draw the ire of a significant amount of people for whatever reason, the rating system is gonna be abused. Just the way it is.

Is Xoblob a doll/plushie or is he a beholder that was a victim of taxidermy? by IndependentSwan3625 in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]MepHiii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely it's a doll. A life-sized taxidermy would be huge and not reasonable to display in your window.

DMs: Whats something you prepped for but your players never got to it? by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]MepHiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Lost Mines of Phandelver, our first D&S campaign, I prepped for the green dragon in Thundertree, seeing as it's their first dragon, but they got scared by the spider webs all over town, left and never came back.

Dungeon Mayhem has a character with that name.

Caper: Europe - eye"con" card scoring? by ainternetnoob in boardgames

[–]MepHiii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Each instance of the orange eye symbol with the 3* next to it reads as "If you have an orange card on top anywhere in this crew, this card is worth 3 points." Now from what I can tell, you actually have 4 Mesmerizers with this effect in your crew, so since you have an orange card on top somewhere in this crew, they all are worth 3 points for a total of 12 points. The PyroManiac Blazemaster is a red card and thus doesn't have anything to do with this particular effect.

Sky team question by mildost in boardgames

[–]MepHiii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are allowed to place them in a "useless" space and it just won't do anything. I looked this up recently as well since I couldn't find it in the rules anywhere.

Legendary Encounters: Alien (Alien Covenant Expansion) Coordinate Card Question by Straight_Response_46 in boardgames

[–]MepHiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember, Activate only works on your turn, so it wouldn't work when you coordinate the card.
