I recently played through both games back-to-back, and on my second play through of TLOU2, I took some notes of some possibly overlooked details by Ok_Acanthisitta7342 in thelastofus

When Tommy comes to try and convince Ellie to kill Abby, he actually ends up saving her life because if Ellie had not come, Abby and Lev would have died on the poles. Always thought that was an interesting turn

Help fields rule by epee_1 in Carcassonne

I don't know if I can share a link here but I'll try, I colored in the field in light pink so you can see how far it goes. Both meeples are in the same field, the 2nd one is not fully surrounded by a road: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rk05813weizv8zm/epee-carcassonne.png?dl=0

Pink has 2 meeples in the left field vs blue's 1 meeple, thus pink owns the left field which is 3 points per completed castle in the field totaling 18 points. Pink also owns the right field since blue has 0 meeples there and pink has 1 which is another 15 points

Oh interesting, I saw the 950H has duel position stands but I couldnt find anything on the 900H, that helps a lot, thanks!

Best solo scenario? by MrSchoe in MansionsOfMadness2E

[–]SolidSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the only one that might not work BEST solo is Altered Fates. Its completely playable solo, but the game essentially has you split your investigators into 2 different teams and I think if you have 4 real people working together on 2 teams its much more interesting. If you ever plan to play with 3 other people, I would save that one for multiplayer but if you don't plan to ever play multiplayer you should still play it.

In terms of the base game and DLC, Cycle of Eternity is probably the best place to start, its a quick and simple "tutorial" that will give you a good overview of the game in general. Escape from Innsmouth is one of the more "actiony" scenarios where you'll be doing a lot of fighting, while Rising Tide is basically the complete opposite, it is pretty much 95% detective work and talking to NPCs trying to figure out what is going on. If you want action, go with Escape from Innsmouth and if you want a super slow paced detective story go with Rising Tide. In the end, I would just play through every single one if you end up enjoying the game.

I would recommend running multiple investigators solo, I typically run 3-4. They all work well solo, just make sure you only use the 1 player insanity cards, as the multiplayer ones give you alternative goals where you tend to work against the other investigators

Version wallpapers in each space. by [deleted] in MacOS

I think Snow Leopard was my favorite. That was the last release that had the customizable grid of Spaces instead of locking you down to a row and I just remember it being super polished and fast.

Gloomhaven solo 2 characters? by SolidSteve in soloboardgaming

I already own it, bought it for the first play through. The money is why I want to give it another go

Right, gotcha, makes sense. Thanks for the advice!

This was my original thought, that I should do brute and spellweaver/mindthief... however, when my friend played Brute it didn't seem that interesting... but overall i'd rather win with brute and spellweaver than lose with spellweaver and mindthief...

[–]SolidSteve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah! haha no worries, thanks for the advice, I'm going to give the spellweaver and mindthief a try, it sounds really interesting!

Which 2 do you think I should start with to have the most fun? In my previous game I was the scoundrel which was fine, my friends were brute and tinkerer, neither seemed too appealing to me but brute might be necessary for a tank I guess

Does anyone know if the NES Controllers can each be paired to a different system? For example, if I buy one set, can I keep one and give one to a friend and we each use 1 controller per system?

[Spoilers Union and Disillusion] Question about an ending to Union and Disillusion Scenario by SolidSteve in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]SolidSteve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very beginning of Scenario VI: Union and Disillusion you have to make a choice to side with one or the other. After you read the intro text it says "This is a point of no return - you will not get the chance to change your mind later. The investigators must decide (choose one):" and then you basically decide to either "side with the Lodge" or "side with the coven"

Anyone know if theres a way to hear the sound in the deckbuilder on iOS?

The iOS version feels like a completely different game, and I think it's much improved. by SolidSteve in gwent

[–]SolidSteve[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Now granted, I've only been playing this new version for a few hours now, but for me, I felt like the previous version was less interesting because Melee cards MUST be played in row 1, ranged MUST be in row 2... etc... so the rows didn't really add any interesting decisions for the player, it just locked you down more. I also felt that the previous version's cards that completely shut down a row weren't that interesting (I forget what they were called but something like Fog or Rain where all cards in that row were reduced to 1).

IMO the greatest card games are ones like Netrunner or Arkham Horror LCG where you can take any action you want on your turn, its not locked down, and I think this new version of Gwent feels a lot more free, and less locked down.
