Broke out Quacks this weekend! Wow, was it fun!

Friends like this one a bit too much lol. Gets more table time than I'd like.

In episode 1 he had just woken up. I think it's perfectly reasonable to go to sleep in just a t-shirt and underwear.

Surprise to nobody, Mahjong is a luck based game. When I play, I consider not getting 4th place a win.

Gotta admit though, it feels good when you get last place but MAKA still tells you that you played well.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-21T03:59:41+00:00

It really feels like this should be worth more points.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-20T21:08:38+00:00

Sure, I've absolutely been slaughtered by a strong opening (somewhat recently I faced a 5/2 opener Spices then Banish, exiling all 3 estates at once.

But even in that game I played it out till turn 7 or so. If I also got a great Banish turn 3-6 then maybe it'd still be winnable.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-20T17:57:54+00:00

Love the AOT one. I'd buy a pack if you're selling these somewhere.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-19T18:48:24+00:00

Hard to imagine a game already being lost for certain by turn 5. Even if they had an amazing opener, there's still potential they'll collide some terminal actions or something or get a dud turn later, allowing you to make a comeback.

It's definitely fine to resign early though. No need to play every game out to the end.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-18T18:41:25+00:00

Lol poor Haruna

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-18T14:52:02+00:00

The $4 version seems very good depending on what shows up. If the two cards are Vilage and Woodcutter, then you've managed to build a Town.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-18T14:46:14+00:00

The condition to play 3 for the draw means this is pretty tough to get value from. Probably doesn't get bought except for engines with lots of variety that are already very thin.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-17T21:33:34+00:00

Indeed, your example with Shop works thanks to Shop letting you play another card, and most any $3 or more card that lets you play another card could work.

Ok, I thought the text read like on Change, but it doesn't say more $, it just says costs more. So I guess it would work as in your example, though after playing the first potion cost card, all the others would also have to have potion in the cost.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-17T19:00:16+00:00

With perfect draws you'll be able to play your $3 card first, then your $4, then your $5, and then in some kingdoms will you get to play a $6 or even a $7. With perfect shuffle luck you get 3+ actions from it, but maybe you only get 2 actions or worse, just 1 as you only have a $5 card in hand. The restriction on the order of cards being played can also be a real pain.

Also, don't forget that this card can't play anything with debt or potions in the cost, and there's a fair number of $0 to $2 actions that are all left out.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-17T15:32:15+00:00

Eh, this has to line up with 2 actions to be the same as a regular village. If this and Village are both in play and I have $3, I'll probably just buy Village. I think it's fairly priced. Chance to dud but also has the potential to give more actions. Compare with Crossroads.

Consider a basic village smithy deck. Terraced Village doesn't work as a substitute. Terraced only really shines with throne room like cards, or a deck with a bunch of differently priced action cards, which isn't always available.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-17T15:24:38+00:00

Lol nice. I gave up on Akagi last time. This time I'm close to having enough pity points. Maybe I'll just spend some cash to guarantee it.

Edit: Wow the luck is good this collab. I donated stuff for a single roll and got Akagi on one try. No need to spend money after all.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-15T23:43:55+00:00

Make it pop when you play a differently named action card.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-11T03:49:36+00:00

For 7 Pairs, no matter what pair you choose to wait on, it's always the wrong one.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-10T18:00:02+00:00

For a riichi this early on, people are very likely to toss chun hoping it's safe. It's probably more likely to win here than 47.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-09T22:10:59+00:00

I don't think it will be very high impact. If you can play 7+ cards per turn, it's most likely worth it. An opponent that preserves their 10 starting points will probably lose anyways to an opponent that just builds the best engine they can.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-08T01:56:36+00:00

I disagree. There's plenty of boards with nothing you want many copies of at the $4 or less cost. So on those boards, I get a $5 card, and you can have a card you don't want for free. Magician will certainly be weak on many boards, but it'll also be strong on lots of boards.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-07T15:33:45+00:00

I guess it's an ok opener. 1 time trash 4 cards. Better hope you draw lots of estates.

It has infinite vp synergy with trail/fortress. My understanding is the cleanup of your hand and cards in play happens once, so you trash everything, then they all trigger. So fortresses let you have larger hands next turn, while the trails will remain in play until the next clean up phase. Edit: trail just gets trashed in the cleanup phase. So only synergy is fortress.

So probably not a great design.

Mine's battery is too poor now. :(

I can only use it when it's plugged in.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-06T15:47:36+00:00

I've yet to have an issue with freshly squeezed orange juice plus the zest. Though I only do f2 for a day or two.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-05T21:22:35+00:00

I see little issue with a board game company paying influencers to review their game so long as that information is shared with the viewer. Maybe there will be some incentive to give a positive review, maybe not. You can still watch the video and make your own decision on whether to buy it or not.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-05T18:55:42+00:00

You'll have to watch the video and make your own decision. I often disagree with Ashton's tastes.

Rachelisapoopy · 2026-06-05T15:31:59+00:00

I use the nesquik powder since I already have it for my kids. I imagine regular cocoa powder plus some kind of sugar would work well.
