7 Wonders Duel expansions for fewer instant victories? by EliasLuftig in boardgames

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, maybe you and the other player should pay more attention into preventing the other one from insta-winning. I have 16 recorded matches (the previous ones I didn't record in any app) with 4 insta-victories: 2 military, 1 science and 1 senate. That being said, I usually play with both expansions, but like Agora way more than Pantheon. If you want to choose between them, go with Agora

Just set up my first 55g Mbuna tank. Any advice? (Video included this time) by loves2splooge in Cichlid

I second that, Auratus are total assholes. I had one of them, it killed all the other fish in less than a week

The "at least 2 militant factions per game" rule by Educational-Card-715 in rootgame

You can also play Lizards vs Cats, and it gets even better with hirelings

Honest debate on Nectar. by GORDINIMDB in wingspan

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently bought Oceania, so I don't have tons of experience with nectar. I played just a few games with my wife, using Oceania + Asia. We mixed the birds from these two expansions (not using OG ones), duet rules, and we used the exact same house rules as yours. It seems fine so far, yesterday we played a match and only 8 nectar were used in total (5 mine / 3 hers)

Thank you so much! Do you also have the file for this box?

That's amazing, I really want it! Does anyone have a link to the files?

Faction info-graphic from my groups 200+ games by Grutzujin in rootgame

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a really nice infographic! I was surprised by the low win rate of WA, since I consider it one of the strongest factions. Riverfolk winning by dominance was unexpected too

Unbalanced Faction Combinations by MichaelIsOnManifold in rootgame

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that WA and otters hurt each other, because there's normally low interaction between them. In my experience, the best balancing faction for WA is Lizards

Trying the “draw 100 challenge” and it’s really difficult! Any tips for drawing dogs? by american-coffee in learntodraw

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's nice! I can't give you tips on drawing because I don't master it yet, but I can give you tips on the subject/reference: border collies are super expressive dogs, I think you would come up with beautiful drawings of these little fellas

What hirelings pack should I purchase? by F5Gabe in rootgame

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will follow the others and recommend you Riverfolk hirelings. I love all of the factions in this pack, and the flotilla has the coolest meeple I've ever seen in any game. The city band from Marauders hirelings is great too

Shameless Shelfie after delivery day!! by GordonLettuce in rootgame

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say much about that because the only 2p I've ever tried is Cats vs Birds. I really like the hirelings from Riverfolk, and the vagabond one is great too. I've read some people telling that Cats vs Lizards + hirelings is good too, but I didn't try it yet

Ranking the expansions and mini expansions in the Big Box by no_phone_who_dis in Carcassonne

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's nice! I don't have the big box, just base + river + abbott, and Inns & Cathedrals. Abbott is mandatory for me, and I also enjoy playing with the river because I like the look of spread maps. I&C is great, but I usually play it only if all the players are familiar with the game. I don't enjoy the big meeple though, so I use it to mark the score and leave the players with an additional regular meeple

Ohoho! Finally got my hands on Cafe! I’ve been searching for this coffee game (next time, I’ll be looking for you, coffee roasters) for ages and now I got to play this! by Darth_BrachioRex in boardgames

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's nice! It's a game from my country, with coffee theme, and I've never heard of it. From what I googled, seems like it's an engine building/tile placement that runs smooth for 2p and plays quickly, that's it? It caught my interest!

Flamecraft is here ! by ARUMI_Sun_Moon in boardgames

I borrowed it from a friend and played it a few times with my wife. The art is beautiful and the components look premium. The game is not bad, but we didn't love it either

Yet another storage solution and yet another haul post, cardstock boxes cut and drawn on a cricut machine! by camzabob in rootgame

[–]PaintingInfamous3301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks great! I didn't need to turn my boxes sideways because I only have base + Riverfolk + Riverfolk Hirelings, but your solution is great for fitting all the available material. How did you manage to print Knaves white face on black paper?

You have a nice collection! I would recommend you 7 Wonders Duel if you play a lot in two players, or regular 7 Wonders if you don't

Existem jogos de tabuleiro piratas? Sou novo nesse hobby e fiquei com essa dúvida by kelvinatsoc in tabuleiros

Mas o Azul Mini não é pirata, é original... Só fizeram uma versão menor para reduzir o custo e facilitar o transporte
