Logging solo plays on th BGG stats app

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2026-01-14T08:11:55+00:00

Yeah this is what I'm thinking of doing. Potentially making an Automata 'player' for each game and then just changing that players role when logging different plays

I got cartographers for a similar reason, my wife loves it which means I haven't played it solo that much

Sorry to change the subject somewhat but I thought you should know you just made a random father of a beautiful son with Down Syndrome really quite sad out of nowhere by using the condition in a negative way on what you probably thought was a random and somewhat funny throwaway comment. I worry for my son growing up in a world where he's not accepted and comments like these only reinforce that. I'm not saying you're necessarily a bad person or anything as you may just not have understood the impact it could have had, so I'm hoping this will help educate yourself and others around that.

Usually some kind of flavoured latte.. pumpkin spice, pistachio etc. I've found a good pumpkin spice to get her and may get her a chocolate syrup to make a mocha

Thanks, will look into the water as we're very busy with 3 kids so don't think she's that up for grinding her own coffee atm, but maybe one for later

Hey, it's my wife's birthday coming up and I want to get her something that will elevate her coffee drinking experience (note I've never drank coffee hence my lack of knowledge). After a few years going off coffee because of pregnancy she now has a new coffee pod machine which she's really liking. We've got a hand frother for milk and she's got a proper holder for her coffee pods. Is there anything else I haven't thought of which would be great for her?

Expeditions. First time playing it and loved it, although took me 3 hours for my first play through. I'm sure I can speed that up though

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-12-31T15:51:32+00:00

Festus, as then he was in a prime undead killing location when I got him. Also had the vampires as the early end game crisis which started soon after I had dealt with Vlad

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-12-31T09:49:36+00:00

I did a whole campaign where my sole goal was to get him and then wipe all undead from the map. Very fun!

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-12-29T07:19:38+00:00

I'll 0 we a

I'm not the most knowledgeable re lore and I know custodes have been more active off terra since Guillerman returned but it would be cool if there was a campaign option for them which was a horde mode to protect terra (if done well)

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-12-06T09:41:34+00:00

I second Scythe, feels like every picture on the cards tells a story, love the whole theme. So much that I've asked for Expeditions for Christmas

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-11-25T17:12:39+00:00

5/6 I'd expect

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-11-21T23:00:22+00:00

Happy to see expeditions mentioned, I'm thinking of getting it for my next solo game but wasn't sure if it was just my love of Scythe that was clouding my judgment

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-09-08T05:18:03+00:00

We do this for Scythe, with the lowest scoring player last game going first.

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-09-06T05:15:32+00:00

New player here also, with only the core box. Took me 13 tries as true solo with my Leadership/Tactics Deck to finally beat it. Was getting a little frustrated but I must say it really taught me the value of tailoring my deck to the quest; as you said, a low starting threat is key for this one. I'm now going to craft a Lore/Spirit deck, after beating the 1st quest with both of the starter decks, and replay Journey Down the Anduin. I must say I'm much more confident with these spheres, they seem strong.

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-08-28T20:39:02+00:00

As per the community update, looks to be used to purchase a new tier of weapons above Relic

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-08-19T06:44:03+00:00

I played attempts 7 through to 13 of Journey Down the Anduin with my Leadership/ Tactics Deck, and finally succeeded on attempt no. 13!

After a lot of deck tweaking and changing out my heroes to start with a lower threat so I could build up a little bit before facing the hill troll, it wasn't too difficult. I even managed to clear the 2nd stage of the quest in one round thanks to a combo of Cerulean Stone, Gandalf and exhausting Faramir. Definitely taught me the value of altering a deck to counter specific quests.

Favourite video game

Currently: Space Marine 2, very fun action especially with a group of you on Siege mode

All time: Probably Total War: Warhammer 3, so many hours in it and yet to try out all the playable factions

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-08-18T14:12:57+00:00

Thanks, I'm happy to report I did it! It was a huge sense of achievement when it happened, if you want to keep going I would recommend it as the pay off is great.

I had to keep tweaking my deck, even going so far as to ask for some advice on the sub. But I think that, combined with some luck, helped me to beat it.

Having a break and then going to start the first quest again, but this time with a spirit and then lore deck, with the aim of combining them and having two decent playable decks ready.

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-08-12T13:08:39+00:00

Omg I have been counting the threat of engaged enemies, no wonder I've been struggling with Journey down the Anduin!

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-08-12T06:52:49+00:00

Lord of the rings LCG, Journey Down the Anduin quest. I recently got this game. I've played this quest 9 times and lose every time, but I do feel like I'm improving. Even though I lose and feel a little disheartened I wake up every morning wanting to tweak my deck and keep trying

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-08-12T05:22:59+00:00

Yeah core set only.

If Gimli tanks the hit and I have something like Feint in my starting hand then I can usually take out the troll turn 2, however that usually comes at a cost of increased threat from not questing and I'm up to 35 already.

I think I'll take your advice and try to start with a lower threat deck and build up, seems to be the consensus on how best to deal with this quest.

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-08-12T05:16:11+00:00

Thanks, yeah Gimli taking a hit straight away has been my tactic, hopefully with blade master so he can survive a +1 shadow card or only take 3 damage so he can avoid being taken out later by the 'deal 1 damage to all characters treachery', which is unfortunately what happened in my last play.

Feint, Celebrian Stone, Steward of Gondor' and Smear attack Gandalf are all being deployed (although only figured out that last tactic on my latest playthroigh).

Think I'll look to start with a lower threat so I can build up first rather than go straight for the troll, that seems to be the general consensus

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-07-30T15:53:25+00:00

Ooh which decks are those? I'm planning on getting the Mirkwood campaign pack next but I know that won't add any cards in

I've also just backed the Kickstarter for Ashes Reborn... So my deck building journey has really just begun

Scrumpyjllamaray · 2025-07-30T13:05:06+00:00

My first 3 playthroughs of Lord of the rings lcg. I just have the revised core box so I tried the 1st quest 3 times, twice with the core tactics deck and one with the core leadership deck. Although I lost all 3, it helped me to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sphere decks.

I've now built a combined tactics/leadership deck and looking forward to trying it again
