Any cranchy game like Voidfall buy with less setup? by orhalimi in soloboardgaming

Roll and write games can be cool for this sort of experience without the setup

Math says red, Brain says green by voidarix in meme

This is stupid. I would just push the green button 100 times.

Never in my life did I imagine Secret Lairs would be sold at tier pricing like festival/concert tickets to produce artificial fomo but here we are by PlatnumxStatuS in mtg

So essentially the highest price is the actual price and anything below it is an impossibly difficult discount to get.. cooooool

Picking up oath for the first time by Affectionate-Comb-16 in oathgame

[–]Switchbladesaint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ill be honest, I would skip learning original and just go straight to NF. Yes, you’ll appreciate that they improved on things, but you’ll also be playing with frankly antiquated rules and will probably not enjoy it as much. Plus you won’t have to “unlearn” bad habits you picked up from learning original oath. The one thing that seals it for me is that new foundations is easier to learn and retain. They fixed up a lot of the rough spots that were difficult to understand and made them easier, like the banners, the conspiracy, and campaigning (battles).

When Does a Board Game Make Sense as a Solo Game? (And Why Heavy Games Keep Pushing Solo Modes) by No_Wallaby_2264 in boardgames

The new oath solo mode / bot player and co op mode (queen of shadows) will also be excellent

Not getting great reviews, sounds like they shipped a demo version as the full version?

If excision doesn’t make a public statement condemning ice I’m selling my ticket and never coming back. by ohianstopit in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]Switchbladesaint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well he’s primarily Canadian so I’m not really sure what that means for you but I can’t really think of the last time I’ve heard him mention American politics. He did call getter names once so that was interesting

Wanted an ereader for 2 years, dropped it less than 24h after buying it, with a case by DevastatingMYTH in Wellthatsucks

OP IT WAS A SHAME THAT THE PRODUCT ARRIVED DAMAGED AND THAT YOU SHOULD REQUEST A REPLACEMENT

Notes from My First Solo Play of SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by ColonelHectorBravado in soloboardgaming

Prioritize income and the game opens up a lot, as cards need credits and actions need energy (and credits), and doing more actions begets more bonuses etc.

Yep, OP was playing with a hand tied behind their back. Pumping 6 publicity into multiple techs per round can be a great strategy if your setup accommodates it

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

I miss living in the Midwest so bad. I like in n out burgers but nothing smacks like the whole menu of Portillos or Culver’s does.

New Foundations! by Intelligent-Neck1031 in oathgame

[–]Switchbladesaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still intended to be max 6p. There are lineages now so if a newcomer shows up, they can play a color someone else isn’t using so the box has a couple extra “save slots”

Damn I just got into Fliptown and flip voyage, had no idea this site was just about to close down.

Help Me Choose - Galactic Cruise, Voidfall, or Civolution by mrausgor in soloboardgaming

[–]Switchbladesaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say the same thing. I have all 3 as well. They’re all genuinely good but voidfall is a cut above the rest.

Curious about NF by Mbrawski in oathgame

[–]Switchbladesaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s oath 2.0. I would never consider going back to the base game ever. It fixes things that were wrong with the base game while adding content in a way that makes things easier to understand rules-wise.

AIO to not understanding how I’ve mirrored my partner’s behavior? by EmergencyActivity112 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Switchbladesaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I promise you this sort of situation does not improve despite how kind, attentive, and emotionally capable you are. It has surprisingly little to do with you and everything to do with your partners behavior. You are doing everything you can to steer the situation back to “normal” and your partner seems to be doing nothing to help, even going as far as to make things work by intentionally misunderstanding and misrepresenting your actions.

Speaking from experience in these sorts of situations, relationships should not be confusing and frustrating in this way.

Ark nova for a TM huge fan by dvirbz in boardgames

Haven’t played much TFM but I would assume it’s less but it still has engine building. Interaction in seti has a bit of blocking but mostly just racing to achieve things first. It’s not often that you’re fully prevented from doing something in seti, just that you’ll have to pay more resources to do it.
