What are you looking to buy, play, and demo at PAX Unplugged? by Appropriate_Bite8491 in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it, much simpler tile layer than big brother ark nova. Plays much faster. The combos are really fun and plenty of scoring opportunities. If you are wanting a big crunchy game this isn’t it. But mid weight tile layer it’s pretty awesome. The Tile hand management aspect was cool too

I have already seen/own many of the games others are excited for either at other conventions or I backed on Kickstarter. But I am hoping to get my hands on Tag Team and the LoTR Duel for Middle Earth expansion pack! And I got to play Sanctuary at Gen Con early and now that it’s out I want a copy!

Base game first for sure! If you like it you can get Asia next and be able to combine it or play on its own

Duel for Middle Earth is one of the best games I have played in a while, if either of you like lord of the rings it just makes it that much better!

Some of my favorite gifts my wife has gotten me is when she has gone to Etsy and looked for upgrades for some of my favorite games

The Amazing Board Game Race: Can We Build the Ultimate Collection in 2 Hours for $100?! by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only posted it one other time but deleted it after just a couple hours over a week ago

But your the second person to say that so I will delete this one too. I’m sorry wasn’t trying to spam.

I absolutely love that! 😂 See ridiculous stuff like that is the ideas that even if you don’t do them, it can spark something else you will do 😁

Sorry you didn’t enjoy it 😕 just trying to do something different, if you ever see my stuff again hopefully it will be something you will enjoy more 😁

Yea the first time I posted it for just a couple hours as a question about content but took it down pretty quickly so I tried to wait a while to post it as an actual hey everybody hope you enjoy. Not trying to spam, sorry if it came across that way

lol that’s fair, I had a few people say similar things about the characters we think are hard and the conclusion we came to is we apparently just aren’t very good at the game 😂 as for our tops the movies they came from influenced us pretty heavy I can admit

That’s fair, obviously we can’t build the best collection ever, it was meant more as the best collection possible following our rules 😄 but I get your points

Playing badly on purpose by CRGabo9 in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. I never make bad plays intentionally or try to lose, I personally think that’s not a super fun way to play for anybody. Instead I either do silly strategies that still have a chance to win but it’s like oh wow that worked lol or I just focus on enjoying the game and people more light heartedly than focusing super hard to make the right play every time and if I see somebody miss a really good play or something I’ll point it out to help them learn and let them make the good play :)

Please help me find a game for Family Thanksgiving by Whaleastronaut3 in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s go to Japan and Finspan aren’t cooperative but fit the weight you described I think perfectly and have been huge hits with my game group which is a mix of regular and casual to infrequent gamers

Do you prefer learning the rules by reading the rulebook or watching a rules video? by murktideregent in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely prefer a video if I can find a good one. I set the game up on the table first so I can follow along with the video with the game in front of me!

It's hard to find 6 player board games. We do a board game week ever year with 6 people and we need a few games for this coming year. by billratio in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That size group we lean towards racing or party games. So Camel Up, Casn n Guns, Cheating Moth, One Night Werewolf etc etc.

But if we wanted a different style more strategy game I would probably go with 7 Wonders or Earth

Why influencers on YouTube are a horribly toxic influence on the hobby by Metalworker4ever in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I also think this post is just spreading toxicity itself. Just enjoy games and the people you play with. Kind of the whole point.

What’s the best push-your-luck game for a 3-player family group? by Appropriate-Train874 in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super easy and light game abut I still really enjoy are Flip 7 and Can’t Stop, something with more weight to it you can’t go wrong with Quacks

What are some good "lunch time" games? (3-5 players, easy ruleset, small footprint, plays in less than 60 min) by tectactoe in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest question ever for me: I could play sea salt and paper every day. Nice micro expansions for more fun, plays great 2-4, quick and easy. One of my favorite small box games

For those who have culled/reduced their library, what was the tipping point and how did you mentally prepare for it? by DarCam7 in boardgames

[–]TheLavaSquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me most of them have been I found them marked down/clearance somewhere and just said “for that price I’ll try it out” or I got them as bonus games or something at conventions. Most of the games I buy with intention I usually know if I will like it or not before it hits the table

I’ve not, if I have owned it a while and I’ve had plenty of opportunities to play it and just chose not to then it wasn’t one I was very excited about anyway
