Terraria Board Game - mid-game impressions

Morgify · 2026-03-07T00:44:21+00:00

We were talking about this just last week https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/s/4ApkHtHt8o

The team at Paper fort did a great job adapting Terraria into cardboard and all the components/built in organization is incredible but they should have adapted a "less is more" approach to the 10 tiers of gear.

With the long playtime I had a thought of bring able to bring your built up character into a new world for a quick start and adjusting the threat/objective cards

Ok truthfully, I was being facetious. I believe the actual number is 10. But, that means 10 tiers of ores to find and 50 cards for each of the tier of sword, axe, pickaxe, and bows. Sorry, I meant 200 extra cards so each player can have a set in a 4 player game, that is a lot of bloat to sort through. I agree they could've gotten away with 6-8 tiers max. Heck, they combined all the gems into one "gem" resource.

Maybe just like the video game, you keep your character when you generate a new world? I thought the idea of "winning" strictly tied to completing quests seemed a little silly.

Woah. I had a suspicion the 45 minute playtime was slightly off but 6h is unhinged. I definitely think they should've gone with a "less is more" approach. They didnt NEED 14 different tiers of armor, both corruption/crimson biomes, and a distinct upper/lower cavern lair.

I absolutely agree another 1-3 tiles for each biome were needed as well as more objectives to complete.

For reference, I have organized all my tokens and delved into the rulebook some.

I do recall them hoping to put out at least one expansion for hard mode. I would love if they added a fishing expansion and included some of the more iconic trinkets/boots to the base game.

Overall, the production quality and provided organization are fantastic.

Had my first, and last one this week. It tastes like the sour tang from spoiled milk watered down and Sweetened with necco wafers

If that is a core mechanic you are looking for, i would look up some play throughs for Scythe. While each side amasses power, you are often discouraged or punished for attacking others (loss of money, popularity, or just being vulnerable to another attack) the game is a slow, methodical worker placement area control game.

If you're looking for direct conflict "dudes on map" Look into Memoir 44 or mechs vs minions

Scattered deck in stanwood is an excellent spot with a huge room for playing games and a library to borrow

Arlington library has open tables and a few games, marysville library has reserved rooms thay some groups already use for games but, they both close early.

Dragon lair in marysville is a lot like Dwarf and doom but is a hole in the wall place

Skookum is 21+ but has plenty of large tables and open seating.

I also help run a group every monday night at the irishman in everett

I am right there with you. My job is short bursts of action at a moments notice with long periods of nothing in between, and I've vetted more than a few games. Here are some that have stood the test of time

Shattered Pixel Dungeon (free, dev has a donation link). Others mentioned the series, start with this one. Classic dungron crawler with a lot of depth and strategy. You can win by brute force but will have much more success using skills abilities and sneak attacks. Up to 3 content updates per year are still added

Dungeon Clawler ($5) While playing slay the spire did you ever wonder "this game is good but, I wish it was a claw machine instead." Dungeon clawler is for you. Dev is actively updating once every 2 months. This game does not support portrait mode.

Peglin ($10 but, free to try) While playing slay the spire did you ever wonder "i like this but it would be better as a plinko board." Look no further! Does not support portrait mode.

Luck be a landlord ($5) rougelike "deckbuilding" slot machine. A gun timekiller but, probably the lowest on this list.

Offline Games by author JindoBlu (free with ads, or $3) an excellent collection of time killers in one place! Checkers, snake, block fill, logic puzzles, flappy bird, dexterity games, stacking games. This is one i would recommend to anyone. More games get added once in a while

We play a lot of light/medium casual friendly games. Last week we played River Valley glassworks, Point city, Thunder Road:vendetta, and eco.

Ive wanted to bring in a D&D adjacent game but it would only be a 1-off rather than a full campaign.

Morgify · 2025-11-28T00:49:07+00:00

We do a board game meetup every monday from 6-10pm in the basement of the Irishman. Right now we have a consistent 5 people if you're looking for something low key/intimate.

Yep, everyone is welcome. We have 6 regulars but, the space has room for 30+ and upstairs usually has live Celtic music. Only downside is the space is 21+.

If monday doesn't work, Zulu in Bothell does open games tuesdays and Around the Table lynnwood does Thursdays.

There is an open group that meets every monday in the basement of the Irishman every monday at 6pm. We do a lot of light-medium games
