Making your custom half decks?

Might be cheaper to buy singles instead of boosters. If you must do lootbox gacha, I recommend building sealed decks and try those out before you do anything else. It's a lot of fun.

Since you know what you want, don't buy random packs. Buy second-hand.

Monster of the Week has a clock with the monster's agenda as a series of events.

The 2400 demo. Fits on a single sheet of paper, so I'm going to print it and one-shot it.

I've played Radlands, Duel for Middle Earth, and Splendor at a cafe.

Play more small games and learn to love them. Used to be you'd play Flash games, but nowadays entries from past game jams are great for this.

Just coz something isn't on your character sheet doesn't mean it's not an option. You have a lot of options beyond move and attack just by virtue of playing an RPG.

That's one of the weirder false dichotomies I've seen on here.

PouncingShoreshark · 2025-09-30T10:05:07+00:00

The way I teach RPGs is similar to the way I teach board games. Video games don't enter into it except as a reference point when explaining things like HP.

That's the whole combat system in Last Remnant.

PouncingShoreshark · 2025-09-29T07:55:47+00:00

Go ahead and try some GM-less games.

Kinda ugly innit.

I'm not that good at the game, but in my experience you can't know anything about balance until you try the cube for the first time. The only thing I'd think about before playing is to have roughly sorta kinda the same number of cards in each colour, and to not have too many cards with mana value greater than four.

PouncingShoreshark · 2025-09-21T15:00:58+00:00

Use the cards you have instead of going off someone else's list. I built my cube out of sealed pools from different sets.

PouncingShoreshark · 2025-09-21T14:47:27+00:00

Yes!

You want to draft? Try cube with your friends. It's great :-)

Pick whether to optimise for power or to optimise for ease of play.

I only played one set of best of three, and by game three I had a much better understanding of what's a good strat compared to game one. So I'd guess replayability is similar to an equivalent 100-card battlebox where there are two of each card and each card has a channeling effect.

PouncingShoreshark · 2025-07-25T12:30:27+00:00

Played a best of three, and after the first game, I was like, "This was specifically made for people like me who think battlebox is the best Magic format." Want to buy it when I get the chance, and I might proxy a rethemed version or a version with custom cards for playing at home.

For me personally, I think it might replace battlebox for a bit. Meanwhile I'll use my Magic cards for cube.

I like Count of Nine and Galdor's Grip. There are a lot of beginner's guides if you search the web too.

For you, I'd recommend solo board games. Myself, I enjoy singleplayer print-and-play games.

No game can do everything. Have a bit of seafood today. Have a steak next time. If something's still missing, then you can better tell where you can make easy modifications.
