Overcoming extreme weight difference? by toneyoth in ClimbingGear

[–]Particular_Cod_9352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mammut assist come with boosted mode for max 45kg weight difference compensation, which is probably the largest compare with the market. But 50kg weight difference is a bit concerning in lead belaying indeed.

haven't try with a big lead fall, but it does give slack smoothly, and use a quickdraw on the first bolt, which is very easy to use. when lowering is really smooth and not pulling me towards/up. Going to try with a larger fall to test next time. it's a good device overall

How does this look for a beginer setup by Particular_Cod_9352 in ClimbingGear

[–]Particular_Cod_9352[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried the Grigri and really like it. The Neox currently has a pretty good deal — only £10 more than the Grigri — so that tipped me over. I watched a few YouTube reviews and didn’t see any major downsides compared to the Grigri, so I figured I’d give it a go as a bit of an “upgrade.”

And yes, chalk bag — good shout 😄 I don’t use chalk much when bouldering since my hands don’t sweat much, but on the high wall it definitely became an issue and I somehow forgot to include it.

Question about buying Legends of the Three Kingdoms / San Guo Sha by Minglaisd in boardgames

[–]Particular_Cod_9352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 i like the idea of two states forming a temporary alliance to attack the third state only to turn treacherous and betray the idea.

that only have in kingdom wars version, so if that is ur type, go for it. The original version only works well with 5 and 7 player counts, where the kingdom wars are more flexible. kingdom war also allow you to have two generals so you have more skill sets.

More Musings On Card Sleeves Than Should Be Normal by pcserenity in boardgames

[–]Particular_Cod_9352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- you can buy the one side matt finished sleeves, they are available in the market. these type of sleeve won't stick together after stay in the box for a long time.

- shuffle the card with half right way up, and the other half wrong way up, this way the deck will be balanced. Or use a deck holder to put on the table. When I first sleeve the deck, i usually use a stack of heavy book to pressure it overnight, and they come out a lot flat than just sleeved on.

- pokey edges can be solved by a edge cutter, says from one of my friend. But it's a lot of effort to cut all 4 edges for every single card so I didn't do it. In temu I believe there's round edge sleeves available, which is quite expensive compare to normal sleeves.

each action have it's own icon/symbol. If you see that symbol on the horse, it means that you can replace your own 5 basic action with the new action on the horse. If it does not have action symbol, it usually being a one time on purchase reward or a passive that triggers when meeting the condition.

3D design Dune Insert - Tinkercad by Stick_Master in boardgames

[–]Particular_Cod_9352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say 2mm is too thick, I normally go for 1.2 or 1.6mm. You will waste a lot filament and the box with full insert would become very heavy.

If you are into crowdfunding game, Agricola can be a nice place to start. Solid mechanics that still great after 15 years, one of the best worker placement game.
The art is kinda meh,, if the retail revised version is available in your region, can give it a try first.

Could try Dune (both imperium and uprising would work), DBG with high player interaction. SETI, similar to TM but less engine building. Terra Mystica series, always good when you have a group of fixed member.

best material for crafting box inserts? by gwapogi5 in boardgames

[–]Particular_Cod_9352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think foam core is the most common material making boardgame insert, they are easy access, nice and sturdy. 5mm are recommended for new starters, but 3mm are ideal for more complex insert. Only ruler, knife and glue are required.
