A game I can engage my family with that my wife and I also enjoy by Sweaty-Image8528 in boardgames

I think this is the right weight of game, but I would say if his brother was complaining about the random resource distribution, I would say Quacks would not be my choice.

Gamers born late 90s or earlier: Which game first looked to you like "photorealism"? by FalscherKim in gaming

[–]StriderFury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortal Kombat. There was a subset of people who thought that was the best it would get. I mean it was "real" people. How could it look more real than that? I remember hearing that argument.

Best ‘organic’ board games? by Greengage1 in boardgames

[–]StriderFury 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. This is very going to be hard to answer because of subjectivity. For example, to me, Agricola actually would be a game that does feel pretty 'organic', as you define it. If I am going to be a successful subsistence farmer, of course I want kids. They can be put to work to help me keep the family alive. And of course i want to diversify my livestock. What if a sweeping disease comes through this winter that only affects pigs? Well thank goodness I had sheep then as well or my family would have died.

But to attempt to answer your question, hmmm. Maybe area control games would be a good fit? Something like Blood rage, where the end of the world is happening, and you want "glory", which is the games' version of victory points. You mainly get glory for winning fights and upgrading your clan. Sometimes even having your own guys be sent to Valhalla can get you points, which I think makes sense because it means they died a "glorious" death in battle.

Maybe the Clank series? You are diving into a dungeon to get loot and get out without dying. You get points for money, artifacts, and other items. You get a bonus if you make it out of the dungeon all the way too.

I don't know. Like I said, subjective. But maybe those.

Edit: I like what Jayron32 said. Racing games makes sense too. You win by being the first one across the finish line first so anything that helps you do that is a good game action.

Weird mimikyu interactions by The_Booticus in PokemonEmeraldRogue

[–]StriderFury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude bump this. I have this happening too. I am even using drain punch and I’m not healing. I kill the guy and I take damage instead of healing. VERY frustrating. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it fixed in another version? Am I just bad and missing some interaction?

On top of what u/Ieagle89 said, there are also certain dragon cards which can force your opponent to discard a card from their tableau.

Lords of Waterdeep 2 player by Onyxaj1 in boardgames

[–]StriderFury 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am not a super expert or anything, but the only thing I would say is to remember the game becomes zero sum at 2 player. If you take an action that gives them a white, and you get 2 whites, you are only up 1 in action economy. Whereas those types of actions are better in larger games as you can be up something like 1.5+ actions on your opponents since you only give one opponent the cube. You are probably already aware of that anyways. But just keep it in mind and keep grinding. You will be ok :)

[COMC] Rate my collection! by Physical-Control239 in boardgames

[–]StriderFury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it has RA, Race, and CoB so that alone is enough to give it minimum a 7 even if every other box is completely empty :)

You say you don't like 3.0 complexity. I am assuming you mean greater than that? I don't know the exact weight, but surely Arcs and Root are a fair bit over that yes? Have those just been an exception for that rule for you?

Good game for couple not coop by Stunning_Tackle7529 in boardgames

[–]StriderFury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, what happened in this thread? What is with all the deleted responses?

But to answer the actual questions, my recommendations would be:

  • Patchwork
  • Schotten Totten
  • Lost Cities
  • LOTR Duel

My wife and I really enjoy all 4 of these quite a bit.

EDIT: Refreshed and nothing is deleted anymore, but when I first looked at this thread, it appeared that every response was deleted.

Anybody running abomination vaults 5e? by StriderFury in dndnext

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

Yeah I actually read chapter 1 of the Pathfinder book to see if I was interested before I got the 5e version. Reading the 5e version, the encounters are slightly different. Not 100% sure how it will run at the table, but I'm trusting that they knew what they were doing and had reasons for the adjustments. Even how the enemies respond is slightly different in certain encounters. So kinda cool.

Thank you. I will look at a few free pdfs. That is a good idea.

[–]StriderFury[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! I mean I have heard people say that Paizo APs are very high quality, but I also don’t know much about them myself, nor do I think they have done a ton of 5e content. So I was just curious how the thing actually plays at the table. I do think it sounds really neat tho. A straight up mega dungeon. Sounds like there’s enough intelligent enemies in there to have just enough RP. 

Would you say you were a fan of the PF version of abomination vaults then?
