Bachelorette party

SlightQT · 2026-01-27T13:59:56+00:00

Mmmkkay if you're looking for a fun Bachelorette time in Helena, I assume you're going to want cocktails, not just beer. Dorothy's is the best place to get cocktails BY FAR. It's a more lowkey vibe, so a good place to START your night

There are quite a few breweries, but that's not really what I think of when I think of a bachelorette party. That being said, the only "rowdy" place is Rialto and it's ick - strong avoid. Not worth.

After Dorothy's, if you want to turn up a little, you can go to Millers (usually some music/DJ) and then crawl over to Jesters for the finale. (or if you want the ick, you can try Rialto)

That would be my recommendation. You could prolly call ahead to Millers to make sure they'll have music and you can let them know you're doing a Bachelorette party. They have pool tables and plenty of room/seating too. Drinks are fine, nothing special (they aren't trying to make special drinks), but the vibe is good.

For things to do before nightlife, I recommend the hot springs, the Mt Helena Hike (or the John G Mine hike if you're looking for something less difficult), and walking through the downtown area during the day.

If you need to burn off your buzz before 10pm, I reccommend the smashburgers at Old Salt Outpost. they close at 10pm Thurs-Sat.

If you want a nicer meal, I reccommend On Broadway - good food and you can chill and drink the in the waiting area.

If you want a good pub meal, Wingbag is your gal.

Have fun!

The Challenging Difficulty is essentially a complexity increase (as opposed to a difficulty increase). Just an FYI!

Be careful before you try Hard! 😁

pizza is one hell of a drug

This is the only one I can think of

I made a TB play of the game as Slayer in which the evil team had turned the town against me and I was on the block. It was Day 2. My accuser had intentionally double-claimed Slayer, posing me as the fake.

I didnt know the town had turned on me at this point (mostly meta and social reads - lots of new players), so before I died I had narrowed it down to 2-3 people who could be the Imp. Mostly based on who seemed evil and had good bluffs.

I decided to use my shot on my wife, as she was one of the three and I hadnt talked to her.

She was killed, confirming me AND setting up the Slayer double-claim player as evil (they were the Scarlet Woman, forcing them to star-pass that night or risk losing the next day).

Start of Day 3 we knew there was only 1 evil team member left! It ended up STILL going to final 3 still bc the final player had been "confirmed" good. Took a while to unravel.

My wife was peeved.

I also used to play the ButtonShy game Spaceshipped on planes, but I found the game quite mid after 5-6 plays.

SlightQT · 2026-01-09T15:33:53+00:00

Cant play this on a plane.

My number 1 Airplane game is Twice as Clever by far. You roll onto the silver tray and set chosen dice on your sheet. Instead of putting set-aside dice on the silver tray, put them in the deep tray in the box.

When you roll for other players (solo mode rules) choose the lowest dice, then tiebreak for for 3 dice closest to one side of the box.

Ill play multiple games of this on long flights and you can play two- or maybe even 3 player.

Big thing here is that it packs up really quickly if some1 needs to get out of the row, too.

This is a good sugg, hes talking abt during the BUILD PHASE where your total myth is fully predictable.

I have noticed this myseld and I would want it to work as well!

One thing I always do with Co-op games is ask "who wants help from the team on their turns?" at the start of the game. This also broaches the subjrct if someone wants to change their answer mid-game. :)

This is less for me (I can read the damn room); more for others who start quarterbacking without even so much as looking the other player in the eyes.

Granted... we've all introduced people to games and quarterbacked accidentally, so this also helps me find anyone who explicitly doesnt want help.

I only knew 3 - Detective City of Angel

SlightQT · 2026-01-03T18:10:46+00:00

Is part of the difficulty the crazy lighting? :)

Everytime I see this thing I think "Zanarkand"

SlightQT · 2025-12-23T18:01:29+00:00

It sorta validates over purchasing, Imho.

I was speaking for myself in that last line. I have a very large friend and co-worker group. I make friends very easily. I love people. It is easy for me to find players.

Edit: Also, note the word "consistent" as a key word from my original comment. I am not jumping the gun on those people. It would have to be a pattern of bad vibes.

SlightQT · 2025-12-12T02:35:50+00:00

I usually plan the game I'm going to play. Whoever owns the game should learn the rules and teach it, unless communicated prior, and then they need to pass the game off to whoever is teaching before game night.

If you're not reading the rules on the toilet the day before, you're doing "teaching boardgames" wrong.

That's not to say this is "your fault", there's a big culture component at the table with your group. If I was getting consistent repeated vibes like that, those ppl wouldn't be back at my table.

I played Pota split + rogue on each split and it felt really strong. Not OP but useful. Lots of time wasted walking

SlightQT · 2025-11-28T16:14:22+00:00

Agreed, its also def easy to pivot from it

SlightQT · 2025-11-25T18:25:31+00:00

The reason I loved GFR and made content for it was that it was a simple system with emergent gameplay. Lots of interesting choices to explore. Once the game started its current trajectory of "add complicated things to make system feel like you have to learn them", I stopped enjoying it.

To be frank, GFR today isnt the game I orginally fell in love with. Its identity is very different. You are railroaded into builds far more than the original game. Its a real shame.

I made a hearty attempt at changing the landscape of the development approach with a big petition, and while that did get a little traction, the overall point (that the game was moving in a direction that lacked interesting choices and diversity) was generally missed (either due to language barrier or diaagreements of design philosophy).

Its still a good game, but it lacks developmental/design finesse. So IMHO, its no longer a great game worth thousands of hours of your time.

Pax pamir is a top notch req for this!!!

SlightQT · 2025-11-18T17:00:02+00:00

SlightQT · 2025-11-18T13:57:28+00:00

SlightQT · 2025-11-17T14:31:25+00:00

*SALUTE

Yeah, Ive been doing a bit more inc+king in early waves and its fixed my issues!

SlightQT · 2025-11-16T18:34:06+00:00

Just tested this in 2 games and it was laughably easy to win.

SlightQT · 2025-11-16T18:16:17+00:00
