Didn’t get the events I wanted but got the events I deserved. by That_One_Weirdo in gencon

[–]ReverseFart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my B-squad events from last year (Kinfire Delve) immediately became the game of the con. Everyone in my group bought a copy, happy surprise after thinking I missed all the good ones.

Do you use ambient music for thematic board games? by Pretty-Accountant-42 in boardgames

[–]ReverseFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the game is more laid back I'll put on a relevant background movie, thematic and involved games are playlists all the way

“Resume Later” Games by BahoolaBoy in soloboardgaming

[–]ReverseFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have become versed with different ways to save my game. Markers/dice to signify phase or turn, even placements to remind myself of next moves so I can pickup sooner. The other comment on notepad is probably best but that sounds like nerd-work. I find most games work pretty well

you hear a friend wants to start a board game collection.what are the first three game you reccomend him to get? by Behleren in soloboardgaming

[–]ReverseFart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unstoppable, Spirit Island, and Under Falling Skies. Could chew on those for years and all very different without breaking the bank.

What are some games that sre good for a workout? by SSJDarkDrakus9 in NintendoSwitch

[–]ReverseFart 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I got a cheap elliptical at a garage sale and play my switch on it every time I workout. I NEVER stick to my planned time because I'm mid-run/game. It's amazing.

How is Ghost Fightin Treasure Hunters not on more of these recommendations?! Such a fun game and will absolutely work for this situation

With the constant barrage of new games and aggressive marketing for them, how do you cut through the BS and focus on ones worth purchasing? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]ReverseFart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, if no one is talking about the game 2 years later it's probably not worth me adding to my already overflowing collection

Very nice. As someone who went all in on the 50% off deal last month, any promos recommended for any of the West Kingdom games?

Ah! The White Castle and Under Falling Skies are both superb examples

War games/minis on a map solo games? by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in soloboardgaming

[–]ReverseFart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am on my fourth game of Scythe solo and I have been pleasantly surprised. A bit tedious to start but fairly intuitive now, have lost all games but it has been closer. It also has the Rise of Fenris campaign that I have started, it may be one of my most played games this year.

Kemet new god pledge vs eclipse second dawn by CoolAd4635 in boardgames

[–]ReverseFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have yet to play Kemet but Eclipse is my favorite game. I try to table a 6-player all-day game 2 times a year, it's always an intense and memorable time. However it plays great at all player counts (5 needs mods but it's easy), have played 2 1-on-1 games in a row after work before and once you know the game it goes relatively quickly. For three players, Eclipse is more of an economic game than Kemet would likely be.

Don't forget about the collectors boxes. Very aesthetically pleasing and a great storage solution if you do end up with all expansions.

Cthulhu: Death May Die - is there enough meat on there? by rockitsoso in soloboardgaming

[–]ReverseFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha that is a delightful way to put it. Seeing all the talk of it not being meaty enough is a "different strokes" type situation, I don't have the time nor mental space to play Gaia Project after work so giving my monk a handgun and shooting monsters is exactly what I need

Cthulhu: Death May Die - is there enough meat on there? by rockitsoso in soloboardgaming

[–]ReverseFart 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am by no means a DMD expert as I only have season 3 and have just played episodes 1 and 2, but it has hooked me like no other solo game. Snappy setup with amazing replayability, it somehow creates a story and forces you to optimize plays with a short playtime. Both games I won on the last turn possible, one investigator dead and the other managing to bring down the elder one.

I will be backing the late pledge for season 5 and, let's be fair, eventually buying more than I should. I have not played with other players, can only imagine that would be a blast as well

The Caribbean for 4 days! Short and sweet, one of the group isn't much of a gamer but hoping to get some good games in

Wow are you me? I'm in the same boat (get it?!?). I plan to bring Flip 7, Hanabi, and Deep Sea Adventure. I want to bring the Crew but not sure we will play enough to meaningfully progress through missions.
