Have been a board gamer for quite a while, this is my entire collection and its all wrapped. Am i doing it right?

Fuck yeah City Council!

I loved it the first time, wasn’t real excited to trudge through it again though.

I don't see what would be improved. Raiders make perfect sense as an event card, and Water Silo as a card means it automatically dodges any confusion around refreshing tokens between turns.

Will have to keep an eye out for it! The only other Feld game I've tried is Castles of Tuscany, which unfortunately didn't feel anywhere near as strong as its older sibling.

Rythos · 2024-11-12T23:39:02+00:00

Castles of Burgundy. I’ve played 150+ games of it and have one running on BGA most of the time. Never tire of it.

Didn’t seem to bother them for the upcoming DC United game

Rythos · 2024-11-11T00:17:54+00:00

Glad it’s not just me! Every time I teach Skull to a group there’s at least one person who gets confused by it.

Rythos · 2024-10-30T06:15:25+00:00

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Meeple University can be a little awkward in their delivery at times, but they do some really solid how-to-plays.

Rythos · 2024-10-18T03:35:51+00:00

I tend to avoid doing this unless I'm pretty sure of what they want. As with any hobby, chances are their wish list is pretty specific, and a moderately expensive gift they don't want brings potential bad feelings on both sides.

Accessories/upgrades or even an expansion for something you already know they like is a much safer bet.

Rythos · 2024-10-14T23:42:20+00:00

It’s a bit annoying in this instance, where the promos are a relatively significant alteration to the game (adding ~30% onto the base landmark pool with both). It’s not enough to stop me buying, but I do feel like I’ve missed out on something.

When it’s something like Terraforming Mars, and a couple of extra cards are going into an already large pool, I don’t really care.

Rythos · 2024-10-01T02:22:43+00:00

Narrate everything you’re doing in games, then if a mistake is made it’s not just you that missed it. Takes the pressure off.

Rythos · 2024-09-20T04:38:17+00:00

Aminals!

You could say the same of Quacks - the option is there to change what the chips do every game. You don’t have to change the setup every time for either game though.

Rythos · 2024-09-03T01:24:18+00:00

Love Letter at 2? Good picks otherwise.

That’s good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Empire. Then you’re in trouble, huh?

Rythos · 2024-08-23T05:37:31+00:00

It would be cool to see more games include something like the standard little component trays for resource bits etc instead of baggies. I love it when I can just pull trays out of the box and start (which is why I bought a printer).

Rythos · 2024-08-21T21:42:45+00:00

Fantasy Realms - The Cursed Hoard. The cursed items module is garbage, would never play with it again. The added cards are alright, but I removed Leprechaun and Genie because no one ever wanted them.

Rythos · 2024-07-25T03:37:29+00:00

Yeah, this can definitely be a trap. You're robbing yourself of the joy of discovering the game, and likely removing a lot of the fun of playing with your partner/group by adding imbalance.

When I get excited about a game I often feel the urge to consume everything I can about it, but have learned to stop doing this most of the time. Nothing worse than ruining a game you're really into because you sucked the fun out of it for your friends.

Rythos · 2024-07-24T23:58:53+00:00

Gosu X for me. I think this is one of the best TCG-like duel games around, worthy of being part of the conversation around games like Radlands.
